Description

The Motorsports Simulation Engineer will create and maintain advanced vehicle simulation and analysis tools, focusing on Dymola‑based multi‑body models, subsystem models for desktop and XiL applications, and integration with Pratt Miller’s broader tool chain, with special emphasis on NASCAR programs.

Core duties include developing and refining vehicle and subsystem models, leading simulation workflow integration, providing expertise to internal engineers and customers, performing structured correlation of simulation results with on‑track and rig data, adapting models for real‑time Driver‑in‑the‑Loop sessions, and supporting testing and reporting activities.

The role also involves attending internal meetings, offering feedback on product needs, supporting marketing events, and contributing to broader Pratt Miller initiatives; candidates should hold a BS, MS, or PhD in Mechanical or Automotive Engineering with at least three years of automotive engineering and simulation experience, preferably in motorsports.

• Develop and maintain Dymola/Modelica vehicle and subsystem models for simulation and analysis.
• Integrate simulation models into Pratt Miller’s tool chain and support desktop, XiL, and real‑time DiL environments.
• Perform structured correlation of simulation outputs with on‑track and rig test data to improve model fidelity.
• Lead or assist in creating simulation tools, utilities, and workflows for internal and customer use.
• Provide vehicle dynamics expertise to engineers and customers, including NASCAR program support.
• Execute desktop simulations for NASCAR vehicle development, analyze results, and produce clear reports.
• Support Driver‑in‑the‑Loop sessions with test planning, execution, and documentation.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to align model capabilities with program requirements.
• Attend Pratt & Miller meetings, give product feedback, and support marketing and development initiatives.

Requirements

Required technical skills encompass vehicle dynamics, suspension and tire modeling, Dymola/Modelica, MATLAB, Python, C/C++, FMI/FMUs, and familiarity with race‑engineering software such as Pi Toolbox or MoTeC i2; strong analytical, problem‑solving, communication, and teamwork abilities are essential.

• Hold a BS, MS, or PhD in Mechanical or Automotive Engineering with ≥3 years of automotive simulation experience.
• Demonstrate strong background in vehicle dynamics, suspension, tire modeling, and multi‑body simulation.
• Proficient in MATLAB, Python, C/C++, and familiar with FMI/FMUs and race engineering software (e.g., Pi Toolbox, MoTeC i2).
• Experience with real‑time simulation deployment and structured software development practices.
• Excellent analytical, problem‑solving, written and verbal communication, and teamwork skills.
• Ability to work independently, manage projects with minimal direction, and maintain high attention to detail.
• Limited travel required; work may involve long hours and occasional stress.

Benefits

The position offers a salary range of $79,300‑$126,900, a competitive total‑rewards package, a people‑first culture, limited travel, and a work environment that may include long hours and occasional stress; Oshkosh is an equal‑opportunity employer providing reasonable accommodations for applicants with disabilities.

• Salary range $79,300 to $126,900 with competitive total‑rewards package.
