  • 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.
