Lap Simulation Engineering Graduate

Graduate engineering programme developing advanced simulation skills in physical modelling, optimisation and control systems for high-performance motorsport applications.

Through exposure to a variety of exciting and ambitious projects, you will develop an advanced skillset in multiple areas of simulation.

This will be achieved by rotating through different specialisms including:

• Physical systems modelling; create virtual models of the combustion engine and electrical systems which accurately reflect real hardware

• Optimisation; use numerical optimisation techniques to identify performance opportunities and enable us to start every race weekend with the most performant setup possible

• Control systems; we work closely with the ECU Software teams to develop and test the code which runs on our cars

Typically, these projects are covered from within the Lap Simulation team, but it is possible that your time on the scheme could include related work within the Calibration and Controls department.

What can we offer you?

We offer the opportunity to work in a state of the art technology centre, being involved in exciting technological challenges alongside some of the world’s best engineers. You will get the opportunity to engineer solutions in world class facilities. You will also have the opportunity to work towards chartered status with the IET or equivalent body and will be assigned a personal mentor who will support you throughout. 

Our benefits package includes:

• A salary of £33,000pa

• Performance bonus

• Collective bonus

• Company lease car scheme

• 36 days annual leave
