About the role
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 focuses on hands-on vehicle development and technical documentation. 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.
Key Responsibilities
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
Requirements
Education: Currently pursuing a degree in Automotive Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
The SAE Spirit: 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
Curiosity Over Expertise: You don’t need to be a coding wizard yet, but you must be eager to learn text-based physics configuration (Jbeam) and basic scripting.
Strong Communication: You enjoy explaining how things work. You can take a complex engineering problem you just solved and write it down clearly for others to learn from.
Software knowledge: Familiarity with BeamNG, VSCode, Blender, GIT/SVN is an advantage but not mandatory
Benefits
Flexible working hours
Language courses
Talent development program (training budget, participation in seminars/conferences, and etc)
Personal development program (feedback, leadership, conflict engagement, etc)
Parental leave
Employee assistance program
Relocation assistance (if applicable)
