Olivier Brunner | Simulation & Control Engineer
Having recently graduated with a bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, I am excited to embark on a new challenge as part of the Forze Hydrogen Racing Team 19. This opportunity allows me to combine my engineering expertise and enthusiasm for cutting-edge technology to contribute to the development of the Forze IX while continuing to grow as an engineer.
In my role as Simulation and Control Engineer, I am responsible for enhancing the performance and reliability of our hydrogen-powered race car through the integration, testing, and design of advanced systems. I work on implementing new and complex systems into the vehicle, ensuring that every component and subsystem meets the highest technical standards. Additionally, I design and refine the car’s control systems to achieve optimal performance both on and off the track.
What I find most rewarding about this position is the opportunity to translate the theoretical knowledge I gained during my bachelor’s studies into practical engineering applications. Collaborating with a passionate and driven team of students from various engineering backgrounds is incredibly inspiring. Together, we share the goal of building a competitive race car while pushing the limits of sustainable and renewable transportation technologies. I believe that through our work, we are helping to redefine what is possible with hydrogen technology. Ultimately, we aim to inspire others to pursue innovation and contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
