Vehicle performance & race engineer
Modelling how the car behaves so the setup is right before it runs, and calling the race once it does.
Adverts for this work usually name: MATLAB / Simulink.
Who comes into this from somewhere else
Ranked by how much of the job carries over. Our judgement, not a measurement, and it is here to tell you where to start looking.
From Automotive (volume)
Suspension kinematics, tyre modelling and objective testing are the same discipline at a different pace.
What you would need to add
Modelling and simulation for vehicle dynamics, control systems and race strategy.
From Automotive (volume)
Instrumented testing, data analysis and turning a driver comment into a setup change is race engineering with a slower clock.
What you would need to add
Modelling and simulation for vehicle dynamics, control systems and race strategy.
From Aerospace & defence
Performance modelling, test planning and reading a data trace for what the vehicle is really doing all carry over.
What you would need to add
Modelling and simulation for vehicle dynamics, control systems and race strategy.
