Automotive Engineering Intern - Formula Student Simulation & Dynamics
BeamNG GmbH
Role Description Are you a participant of Formula Student (Formula SAE) who wants to understand exactly how real-world vehicle physics translates into a cutting-edge virtual simulator? This one-semester internship is designed as a hybrid of hands-on vehicle development and technical storytelling. You will learn the full BeamNG vehicle creation pipeline by helping build a Formula Student race car model and tuning it for core dynamic disciplines such as skidpad, acceleration, autocross, and endurance. Just as importantly, you will document the process. Your notes, guides, and tutorials will help create a reference project for Formula Student teams who want to use BeamNG for virtual testing, setup evaluation, and early-stage vehicle development. - Develop the physics model of a Formula Student race car in BeamNG using JBeam - Create or adapt the vehicle’s 3D mesh for visual representation - Select and integrate chassis, suspension, wheel, and powertrain configurations - Implement simulation scenarios for core Formula Student dynamic events - Develop documentation and tutorials to support future Formula Student teams in using BeamNG for virtual vehicle testing Qualifications - Currently pursuing a degree in Automotive Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field - Active or past involvement in a Formula Student team ideally in chassis and suspension design or vehicle dynamics simulation - Familiar with Formula Student rulebook and design constraints - Eager to learn text-based physics configuration (Jbeam) and basic scripting - Enjoy explaining complex engineering problems clearly for others to learn from - Familiarity with BeamNG, VSCode, Blender, GIT/SVN is an advantage but not mandatory Requirements - Strong communication skills - Curiosity over expertise Benefits - Flexible working hours - Language courses - Talent development program (training budget, participation in seminars/conferences, etc.) - Personal development program (feedback, leadership, conflict engagement, etc.) - Parental leave - Employee assistance program - Relocation assistance (if applicable) Company Description Our journey began in 2013 and we've continued to expand as an independent studio since then. We are a team of over 90 employees of 29 nationalities with a headquarters in Bremen, Germany, and we are always on the lookout for expert talent to join us! We consider our employees to be our most valuable assets, and all of them play a vital role in helping us establish and nurture the company's culture and values. We are a guild of innovators, artists, engineers, and designers, who appreciate and embrace the diversity of our perspectives and know-how to apply them to grow together as a community and foster a healthy work environment. Together, we are building a safe and inclusive atmosphere, with transparent processes to amplify individuality, empathy, respect, creativity, and continuous learning for all employees. Regardless of your identity or background, we would be happy to welcome your application if you feel inspired and want to become a part of our team! To minimize bias throughout the hiring process, please submit your application in English.
