EXPLORING UNCHARTED TERRITORY IS NOT A DESK JOB.
SHARE YOUR PASSION.
At BMW, our engineers re-imagine the future of mobility every day with pioneering new visions. But it takes real process-driven, creative problem solvers with exceptional engineering know-how and an uncompromising eye for detail to ensure those visions work like a dream on the road. And that’s where you come in.
Join BMW’s elite motorsport R&D team as a Senior Performance Engineer, specialising in race car vehicle dynamics. In this role, you will be instrumental in enhancing the competitiveness of our race cars (LMDh, GT) to achieve peak performance on the track.
What awaits you?
* Develop the performance of race cars, focusing on the behavior of individual subsystems and overall vehicle dynamics.
* Expand and maintain comprehensive model databases for our race cars (LMDh, GT), comprising subsystems and complete vehicle assemblies.
* Conduct, validate and correlate multi-body simulations (MBS) and lap time simulations, to identify optimization opportunities that enhance racing performance.
* Develop and refine both off-the-shelf and proprietary multi-body simulation tools (CANOPY, MSC ADAMS, MATLAB/SIMULINK/C) for lap time, SIL, and DIL applications.
* Analyze vehicle dynamics and performance for both future concepts and existing race cars, utilizing simulation results and track measurements to derive and assess key performance indicators (KPIs).
* Provide support to our race and test teams from the back office, on-site at test benches, and occasionally at racetracks during the introduction of new systems.
What should you bring along?
* Masters degree in Mechanical Egineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Control Systems, Computer Science or a related field.
* At least 5 years’ experience in a professional motorsport environment (F1, WEC, DTM) focusing on modeling, computing, and optimizing vehicle dynamics, control systems, and simulation environments, preferably with the mentioned sofware tools.
* Expert in creating model-based software modules for simulation environments (MBS, lap time simulations, etc.) using MATLAB/SIMULINK or C., advanced knowledge in simulatur development is a plus.
* Proficiet in state-of-the-art data acquisition methods (AI) and standard post-processing tools (MM-WINTAX, BOSCH DARAB, etc.).
* Strong understanding of how individual control systems and mechanical subsystems impact overall vehicle performance.
* Fluent in English (C1) and preferably proficient in German (B2 level or higher).
