Job description

Join Our TeamWe are the Audi Revolut F1® Team.

Audi Revolut F1 Team is the official factory team of Audi, as the brand enters the FIA Formula 1 World Championship for the first time in 2026.

The team is based in three locations: the power unit is developed by Audi Formula Racing GmbH at the Audi Competence Center Motorsport in Neuburg, Germany; the chassis is engineered and race operations are managed from the state-of-the-art facilities of Audi Motorsport AG in Hinwil, Switzerland; while the Audi Motorsport Technology Centre UK in Bicester, United Kingdom, provides a foothold in the heart of 'Motorsport Valley', with direct access to top F1 talent and key strategic partners.

What you need? The mindset of an athlete. If you are someone for whom giving up isn’t an option and limits are just something to be overcome, you can bring Vorsprung durch Technik to Formula 1 with us. Become part of this unique project and make motorsport history.

Vorsprung durch Technik – Advancement through Technology. This is not a slogan, but our very ethos, deeply woven into our DNA and driving everything we do. Our team is seeking fellow engineers who embody this mindset: those for whom giving up isn't an option and limits exist only to be exceeded. If you're ready to challenge the competitive landscape of Formula 1 and willing to write the next chapter of motorsport history, join us on this unique journey to the top.

Our team spans three world-class locations: Sauber's legacy Formula 1 factory in Hinwil, Switzerland—known for innovative engineering and racing passion; Audi's cutting-edge Motorsport Competence Center in Neuburg, Germany—one of Europe's most advanced facilities; and our recently established Audi Motorsport Technology Centre in the UK. Together, we unite a power unit from Neuburg, a chassis from Hinwil, and expert support from the UK into one integrated team.

This position for the Audi Revolut F1® Team is based at Audi Motorsport AG in Hinwil (Switzerland).

Your mission

• Live monitoring and real-time assessment of aerodynamic behavior during track sessions (trackside or remote garage)
• Provide feedback and recommendations to track engineering during race events
• Conduct in-depth post-event aerodynamic performance and correlation analysis
• Report findings to key stakeholders (Performance Director, Aerodynamic Development, Track Engineering)
• Advance aerodynamic modeling techniques and associated software tools
• Collaborate with the Wind Tunnel Methodology group and Aero Analytics on testing strategy and aero map generation

Your profile

• BSc, MSc or PhD in Aerospace Engineering or Motorsport with aerodynamics focus
• Proven F1 experience in an aerodynamicist or aero performance engineering role (experience in other top-tier motorsport series also valued)
• Strong knowledge of aerodynamic measurement techniques
• Proficiency in MATLAB and/or Python programming
• Excellent teamwork, communication, and organizational skills
• Ability to perform effectively under pressure with strong attention to detail
• Solid understanding of current Formula 1 aerodynamic principles and car design
• Willingness to travel to race events and test sessions
• Fluent English; German language skills a plus
