Motorsports XiL Development Engineer

Job Description

Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Concord NC three (3) times per week at minimum.

The Role

The Development Engineer in the Motorsports XiL Engineering team will design develop and maintain tools for X-in-the-Loop (XiL) systems with a strong focus on motorsports applications. This role requires expertise in integrating hardware and new technologies into simulation loops working independently and collaborating across multiple engineering disciplines to deliver high-performance solutions for motorsports simulation and vehicle dynamics.

What Youll Do

• Design develop and maintain tools for XiL systems (Driver-in-the-Loop Hardware-in-the-Loop Software-in-the-Loop).

• Integrate new hardware and emerging technologies into XiL environments to improve simulation fidelity.

• Collaborate across disciplines including vehicle dynamics controls electronics software and simulation.

• Work independently to scope plan and execute development tasks aligned with project goals.

• Support testing validation and deployment of XiL systems in motorsports contexts.

• Document processes tools and integration methods for reproducibility and knowledge transfer.

What Youll Need (Required Qualifications)

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or related field.

• 5 or more years of post-graduate industry experience

• 3-5 years of experience developing tools for XiL systems (Driver-in-the-Loop Hardware-in-the-Loop Software-in-the-Loop).

• Strong understanding of hardware integration (sensors actuators control units) into simulation loops.

• Experience with real-time simulation platforms.

• Proficiency in programming and scripting languages commonly used in simulation and tool development (e.g. MATLAB/Simulink Python C#).

• Ability to work independently manage priorities and deliver results under tight timelines.

• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or related field.

• Proven experience in motorsports or high-performance automotive engineering environments.

• Experience with driver behavior modeling and integration into vehicle dynamics simulations.

• Familiarity with motorsports-specific systems (telemetry race car electronics simulation rigs).

• Knowledge of haptics and/or advanced feedback systems in XiL environments.
