Simucube is one of the fastest-growing technology companies in Finland. We design the most powerful, precise, and high-performance racing simulator control devices on the market, such as pedals and steering wheels. These are used not only by simulation enthusiasts and dedicated e-sports athletes but also by some of the world’s fastest motorsport drivers to train off the track. While our products combine the precision of e-sports with industrial expertise and raw performance, the atmosphere at our office in Hervanta, Tampere, is cozy and welcoming. Our relaxed and flat organizational culture is symbolized by woolen socks, worn by everyone—including the CEO. This unique blend of cutting-edge technology and a supportive work environment has earned us the title of Finland’s Most Human-Centric Workplace in 2024. Our team of over 50 includes software and hardware engineers; sales, marketing, and customer experience professionals; and administration. Interested in joining our Crew?
