Multiphysics Simulation Engineer

Formula E, the world's fastest-growing sport, is redefining motor sport with a bold focus on innovation and sustainability.

Hosting over 150 races in iconic cities globally and backed by top manufacturers like Porsche, Nissan and Jaguar, we feature elite drivers and cutting-edge EV technology.

As the world's first certified B Corp sport and the first sport certified to the British Standards Institution (BSI) Net Zero Pathway. Formula E combines thrilling entertainment with a mission to advance sustainable progress, inspiring a global fanbase with our high-performance brand new GEN4 car capable of hitting speeds of 335kph and reaching 200kph in just 4.4 seconds. Currently achieving 0-100 kmh in 1.8 seconds.

Using the spectacle of sport, we are sending a powerful and meaningful message to help alter perceptions and speed-up the switch to electric mobility.

As our Multiphysics Simulation Engineer, you will turn complex physical problems into clear, practical recommendations to support the development of next-generation all-electric race cars and trackside technical systems.

Using COMSOL Multiphysics® as your principal simulation platform, you will solve coupled electrical, electromagnetic, thermal, fluid, and structural challenges. Beyond component-level modelling, you will connect subsystem models into comprehensive virtual representations of the car, laying the groundwork for Formula E’s future digital-twin capabilities. You will collaborate closely with internal technical teams, the FIA, automotive manufacturers, technical partners, and test teams.
