The Senior Simulator Engineer is responsible for leading the development, operation, and optimization of Hyundai Motor Group Racing's driver-in-the-loop (DIL) simulation environment. The role plays a key part in vehicle development, performance optimization, driver evaluation, and simulation correlation activities across racing programs.
Key responsibilities include leading the operation, development, and continuous improvement of simulation systems, including AVL VSM Race. The engineer will also manage and optimize Dynisma driving simulator performance and reliability, develop advanced vehicle dynamics models and simulation workflow using Matlab/Simulink, and configure and maintain simulation environments using PTWinSim, RaceCon, and SimHub.
The Senior Simulator Engineer will lead simulation correlation activities between virtual and track/test data, support race engineering and vehicle dynamics teams through high-quality simulator preparation and analysis, and develop and validate simulation methodologies, tools, and KPIs. They will also oversee simulator session preparation, execution, and post-session reporting, troubleshoot complex simulator, software, integration issues, and collaborate with software, controls, and systems engineering teams to improve simulation fidelity and real-time performance.
Preferred qualifications include a bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, motorsport engineering, or a related discipline, significant experience in vehicle simulation, motorsport engineering, or DIL simulation environment (minimum 5 years), and advanced experience with AVL VSM Race, Matlab/Simulink, PTWinSim, RaceCon, and SimHub.
The ideal candidate will have strong leadership and mentoring skills, excellent problem-solving and diagnostic skills, and experience with scripting/programming (MATLAB, Python, or similar). They will also have a strong understanding of vehicle dynamics, tire modeling, real-time simulation systems, and driver-in-the-loop simulation technologies.
