Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

We’re working with a pioneering motorsport technology provider that's transforming how top-tier race teams unlock vehicle performance. Their advanced simulation tools are used at the highest levels of the sport — including Formula E, IndyCar, WEC, and Formula 1.

They’re now looking for a Vehicle Dynamics Engineer to join their fully remote team of elite engineers. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of cutting-edge tools used by some of the fastest teams on the planet.

The Role

You’ll play a hands-on role in enhancing a sophisticated simulation platform used to optimise race car performance. Your work will span physical modelling, software development, client collaboration, and simulation validation — all within a fast-paced, engineering-led environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and refine high-performance vehicle models and simulation tools
• Evaluate new features by benchmarking against real-world data and race performance
• Translate technical client feedback into new simulation capabilities
• Contribute to in-house testing and visualisation systems to ensure robust software releases

What We’re Looking For:

• A strong academic background in Engineering (or similar technical discipline)
• Proven experience in vehicle dynamics, vehicle modelling, or race car performance engineering
• Solid foundation in numerical simulation, optimisation, or nonlinear system control
• Coding experience in an object-oriented language — ideally C++
• A deep understanding of the physics and mathematics behind physical system modelling
• Excellent communication skills — both written and verbal
• A proactive, self-driven mindset with a preference for remote work

Salary and Benefits

• Salary DoE – we are looking at candidates at a range of levels
• Fully remote working and to hours that suit you (you really can work anywhere – some of them team base themselves from ski resorts, others from the beach)
• Using world leading technologies
• Working with key figures in motorsports
