F1 Propulsion 1D Simulation Engineer

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Automotive, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field (e.g., Engineering Physics).
• 4+ years of experience in propulsion simulation, virtual engineering, or engine performance analysis, with a primary focus on GT‑SUITE / GT‑Power or similar 1D CFD tools (e.g., WAVE).
• Strong fundamental understanding of combustion engines, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer, including how these are represented in 1D models.
• Demonstrated experience building, correlating, and evaluating 1D models used for hardware development, calibration, or vehicle performance prediction.
• Experience with engine dynamometer testing and data analysis
• Proficiency with data analysis and scripting tools (e.g. Python) for post‑processing, automation, and reporting.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills, with the ability to present complex modeling results to diverse technical and leadership audiences.
• High level of analytical ability, attention to detail, and comfort with ambiguity, especially when defining assumptions and interpreting results for new architectures.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree or PhD in Mechanical, Automotive, or Aerospace Engineering, or closely related field with emphasis on IC engines, thermodynamics, or fluid mechanics.
• 7+ years of experience with GT‑Power or similar 1D engine simulation tools, including advanced features (FRM, optimization, coupled models).
• Experience with engine calibration, controls, and model‑based calibration techniques
• Background in engine testing and development, including correlation of simulation to dyno and/or vehicle data for performance and drivability metrics.
• Familiarity with coupled 1D–3D CFD analyses (e.g., GT‑Power with STAR‑CCM+ or CONVERGE) for manifolds / ports.
• Experience establishing and maintaining standard work, templates, and training material for 1D simulation methods within a broader engineering community.
• High level of interpersonal skills and demonstrated ability to work effectively in cross‑functional, global teams (hardware, mechanical simulation, testing, calibration, thermal, vehicle integration).
