Tasks:

• Modelling of real-world vehicle systems
• Development of driving modes for running simulations under different conditions
• Programming of a user-friendly GUI to improve usability of the simulation tools
• Creation of a 3D environment to replicate real-world tracks using Unreal Engine
• Conducting virtual test drives to identify issues and optimization potential before physical testing
• Continuous validation and improvement of simulation models based on real test data

Profile:

• Interest in vehicle dynamics and system simulation
• Basic programming skills (e.g. Python, C++, or MATLAB) are an advantage
• Experience with MATLAB/Simulink is beneficial but not required – all necessary skills will be taught during the project
• Interest in working with Unreal Engine or similar 3D environments
• Passion for mathematically describing real systems and translating them into code
• Analytical mindset with a structured and solution-oriented way of working

What awaits you:

As an Overall Vehicle Simulation Manager, you are responsible for creating, developing, and maintaining the virtual model of our vehicle.
You will play a key role in enabling data-driven development by predicting vehicle behavior and supporting design decisions before physical prototypes are built.

You will gain hands-on experience in:

• Vehicle dynamics and simulation methodologies
• Software development and system modelling
• Working in an interdisciplinary engineering team
• Bridging the gap between virtual development and real-world testing

What We Expect in Addition

Beyond technical competence, we place great value on personal commitment and the ability to work effectively within a team. Formula Student is a performance-driven development project that only succeeds through reliability and personal responsibility.

We expect:

• Reliability and adherence to agreement
• Independent and structured working style
• Clear and respectful communication within the team
• Willingness to actively participate in meetings and test days
• Thorough documentation of one’s own work
• Long-term commitment throughout the entire season

We are not looking for passive participants, but for team members who take ownership and actively contribute to the performance of our vehicle.
