# Performance Simulation Engineer (PU)

- **Company:** Red Bull
- **Location:** Milton Keynes, UK
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Monitoring of Systems, Python (Programming Language), MATLAB, Simulink, Test Data
- **Published:** May 30, 2026
- **Apply:** https://uk.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=e929c40c44260264

## About the Role

Do you have experience in Simulink?, * A Mechanical Engineering degree or equivalent qualification.

 * Experience in F1 hybrid power unit simulation is advantageous but high-performance racing engine experience or involvement in high-performance R&D projects is a pre-requisite.
 * MATLAB, Simulink and Python experience would be beneficial
 * Motion Applied's toolset experience (ATLAS, System Monitor, vTAG) experience would be beneficial along with GT Suite tools
 * Interpreting simulation data, summarising and reporting findings
 * A thorough understanding of performance thermodynamics and its contribution to on track performance.Practical knowledge of engine testing methodologies is advantageous

## Description

* To develop and improve correlation on our xRT models
 * To evaluate and identify performance opportunities in a laptime simulation environment
 * To support the definition of optimum design, development and setup targets for maximising PU performance
 * To maintain simulation run records in line with Simulation Group requirements
 * To prepare, run, post process and communicate simulation results and prepare technical summary reports with clear recommended performance direction with supporting evidence.
 * To improve correlation of simulated results to measured test data
 * To ensure all simulation output produced for the engineering function is consistent and coherent
 * To contribute towards the development and improvement of simulation tools and analysis methodology contributing towards car and PU performance
 * To maintain regular communication with relevant stakeholders on the current simulation activity
 * To develop in-house post processing tools with the in-house tools groups
 * Develop new methods, ideas and techniques in order to improve the quality, consistency, and efficiency of thermodynamic modelling, with the support of the Thermodynamic Simulation Team Leader
 * Develop and asses new performance ideas under the guidance of the Thermodynamic Simulation Team LeaderTo ensure that developments are in directions that are aligned to and support/enable future predicted engine requirements.
