What is simulation software?

Simulation software is a type of computer program that models real-world systems, processes, or environments to study their behavior under various conditions. It allows users to test scenarios, predict outcomes, and optimize designs without the cost or risk of physical experiments. Simulation software is widely used in industries like engineering, healthcare, aviation, and manufacturing for purposes such as product development, training, and research. The software can range from simple models to highly complex, multi-physics simulations depending on the application.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a simulation software engineer?

To thrive as a Simulation Software Engineer, you need strong programming skills (often in C++, Python, or MATLAB), a background in mathematics or engineering, and experience with simulation modeling. Familiarity with simulation platforms like Simulink, Arena, or AnyLogic, as well as knowledge of version control and software development tools, is typically required. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication help you translate complex systems into accurate simulations and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams. These skills and qualifications ensure the creation of reliable, efficient simulation models that inform decision-making and innovation across industries.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in simulation software development, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in simulation software often encounter challenges such as ensuring model accuracy, managing computational resource demands, and integrating their solutions with other engineering tools. These challenges can be addressed by collaborating closely with subject matter experts, staying updated on advancements in computing hardware, and adhering to industry standards for interoperability. Regular communication with team members—including engineers, designers, and testers—also helps to streamline troubleshooting and foster innovative solutions.

Spire Motorsports

Mooresville, NC • On-site

Full-time

Re-posted 11 days ago

Job description

Are you ready to be part of a dynamic, passionate team in a rapidly growing company? We're seeking a Vehicle Dynamics Simulation Engineer to join our team and contribute to our success. Spire is a forward-thinking company experiencing rapid growth in motorsports. Our team is filled with passionate, dedicated individuals who are committed to excellence and innovation. 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.
