Simulator Development Engineer

2025 sees Money Gram Haas F1 Team celebrate its tenth season in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship… we’re just getting started. We don’t follow the status quo, we’re here to challenge the competition, and we want you to join us.

The first American Formula 1 team to compete in the sport since 1986, Money Gram Haas F1 Team made an immediate impression with a memorable points-scoring debut at the 2016 Australian Grand Prix. Nine years later, and the team continues to demonstrate growth and a clear direction with its future objectives – coming off the back of its second-best season to-date in Formula 1.

We’re a racing team – not a corporate machine. We have three HQs – Kannapolis in the US, Banbury in the UK and Maranello in Italy – each powered by passionate, loyal and hardworking team ambassadors. At Money Gram Haas F1 Team – known within the paddock as the ‘family team’ – you’ll be involved in many different areas of the team, have much wider visibility across the business, and will be able to clearly see your contribution to our team.

Yes, you’ll learn from us, but we expect to learn from you too!

This position reports to the Simulator Development Team Leader and is located in Banbury (UK). Responsible for the implementation of our vehicle model onto a DIL simulator for the Formula One team, this position is heavily involved with the development of simulator specific software, involving Haas in-house developed symbolic language and will work closely with internal specialist teams and technology partners collaborate to enhance vehicle performance through data-driven analysis, simulation, and engineering innovation.

• Promote teamwork and effective communications to develop working relationships between all personnel, departments and technology partners.
• Assume any responsibilities and duties delegated by the Simulator Development Team Leader or their designee.
• Work to a consistently high standard in time sensitive situations.
• Adhere to all engineering and wider business processes.
• Follow all safety regulations in all venues.

• Set up and run simulator sessions for race drivers, test drivers and performance systems engineers.
• Day-to-day maintenance & servicing of the simulation platform & facility.
• Monitor real-time data and ensure accurate simulation of vehicle dynamics and track conditions.
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues during sessions.
• Continuous development of the simulation software environment to improve operational procedures and vehicle correlation.
• Integration of vehicle models for real-time running in the simulator.
• Define and develop the necessary modifications to allow a simulator implementation of the Haas vehicle model (chassis, tyre and powertrain).
• Adopt the in-house developed symbolic language for any modelling work.
• Ensure the correct functionality of models I/Os and their interaction with the DIL hardware platform.
• Develop an off-line real-time environment to test the whole vehicle model or some of its subsystems.
• Helping to solve numerical or stability issues when the model is running in the real-time environment in the early stages.

• Minimum BSc in any STEM subject but preferably qualified to postgraduate level with substantial experience in applied mathematics or engineering activities.
• Previous experience in a DIL simulator hardware/software environment in a development capacity within a motor sport, high-level automotive or aerospace environment.

Essential:

• Modelling mechanical/hydraulic/thermal/electrical systems for dynamic simulations in a suitable programming language.
• Expert in at least 2 of the following languages: C++, Python, MATLAB, Modelica, C#.
• Hardware-in-the-loop and real time systems experience (E.g. Concurrent, dSPACE or Speed Goat).
• A practical, pragmatic engineer, with strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Ability to plan and organize project activities with other team members to meet a deadline.
• A can-do positive approach and a willingness to help others including mentoring junior members of the group.

Desirable:

• Knowledge of race…
