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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
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.
