As we continue to expand, we need talented professionals like you.
Job Summary:
The Vehicle Dynamics Simulation Engineer plays a critical role in advancing Spire Motorsports' simulation and analytical capabilities to improve race car performance. This role supports the Race Engineering team on a weekly basis with data analysis, vehicle modeling, and simulation support, ensuring correlation between offline and Driver-in-the-Loop (DiL) environments. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, data-driven, and passionate about using simulation tools to find measurable on-track performance gains.
Supervisory Responsibilities:
  • None

Key Responsibilities
  • Provide ongoing weekly support to Race Engineers by preparing, organizing, and maintaining all relevant simulation and performance data.
  • Track and analyze vehicle balance metrics for each track to identify trends and improvement opportunities.
  • Prepare weekly setup comparison reports to aid in pre-event and post-event decision-making.
  • Support and execute DiL sessions, assisting with data organization, test plan development, tire model scaling, and track correlation exercises.
  • Collaborate with Race Engineers and Performance groups to ensure the DiL environment reflects real-world vehicle behavior and track conditions.
  • Test theoretical and off-line simulation concepts in the DiL for proof-of-concept validation and quantification of performance impact.
  • Perform Design of Experiments (DOE) using balance metrics and other simulation outputs to assess parameter sensitivities and guide setup direction.
  • Develop and maintain a balance calculator or equivalent analytical tool to quantify and visualize balance trends across circuits.
  • Ensure simulation data integrity and version control across vehicle model iterations and setup configurations.
  • Work closely with vehicle performance, systems, and race engineering groups to integrate simulation learnings into race preparation and setup sheets.
  • Contribute to the ongoing calibration and correlation of simulation tools (offline and DiL) against track data.
  • Identify process efficiencies and propose new methods for simulation-driven performance validation.
  • Other duties as assigned

Required Skills/Abilities:
  • Exceptional organizational, and project management skills.
  • Analytical and strategic mindset focused on efficiency, quality, and operational excellence.
  • Ability to balance priorities across multiple projects and teams.
  • Demonstrated understanding of vehicle dynamics fundamentals (aero, mechanical grip, suspension kinematics, tire behavior, etc.).
  • Strong organizational and communication skills with the ability to support multiple car programs in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Education and Experience:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or related field.
  • 2-5 years of relevant experience in motorsport vehicle dynamics, simulation, or performance engineering (NASCAR experience preferred).
  • Proficiency with simulation software such as Dymola, ChassisSim, VI-Grade, rFactor Pro, or similar platforms.
  • Strong background in data acquisition and analysis (ATLAS, MoTeC, Pi Toolbox, MATLAB, or Python).

Physical Requirements:
  • Ability to stand, walk, and move in diverse operational environments, including race shops, race tracks, SIM cells, and office environments.
  • Comfortable working in variable environmental conditions, including loud, high-traffic, or high-pressure environments.
  • Prolonged periods working at a computer and in a shop environment.
  • Ability to lift up to 25 pounds regularly and occasionally up to 50 pounds.
  • Frequent bending, kneeling, and accessing low or awkward spaces.
  • Ability to safely work around machinery, shop equipment, and vehicles.
