Control Systems Engineer – Motorsport Gearbox & Dyno

Raceforce Global; Grove; In loco; GBP 55.000 - 75.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

You will interact with Vehicle Dynamics, Powertrain, Systems Simulation and Electronics, contributing to a long‑term gearbox program. Strong MATLAB/Simulink skills and real‑time ECU experience are essential.

Competenze

• Degree in electrical, control systems, automotive, mechanical, software or a related engineering discipline.
• At least 5 years in controls engineering, ideally in motorsport or high‑performance automotive.
• Strong MATLAB and Simulink experience, with confident programming and controls ability of your own.
• Good understanding of embedded, real‑time code that targets an ECU.
• Able to read and trace through control code and state flows to spot advantages and risks.
• Transmission controls experience preferred; dyno knowledge is a close second.
• Nice to have: dSpace or SpeedGoat, Python, SECU/Atlas/SystemMonitor and AVL Puma.

Mansioni

• Calibrate and develop the gearbox and clutch control system, with a focus on reliable, repeatable gear shifts and clutch response
• Analyse data from dyno and car running to find the root cause of shift performance and reliability issues, then apply what you learn in calibrations and control tuning
• Learn, use and help develop the dyno control system, including integrating our vehicle models so the dyno reflects what happens on track
• Build control simulations and the supporting tooling, mainly in MATLAB, Simulink and Python
• Work within the standard ECU code and toolchain to get the best shift for each situation
• Support troubleshooting on the dyno and the car, diagnosing issues quickly and working with colleagues across the business to fix them
• Document designs, test protocols and results so that everything is accurate and traceable
