Jobbeschreibung

Unser Team

Since the 2026 season, Audi has been competing in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship.
The new team has three locations. The Motorsport Competence Center of Audi in Neuburg (Germany) is considered one of the most modern of its kind in Europe. The Formula 1 factory of Audi Motorsport AG in Hinwil (Switzerland) is known for its innovative technologies and passion for racing. The Audi Motorsport Technology Center in UK is in its launch phase and growing continuously. Our Power Unit comes from Neuburg, while Hinwil is responsible for the development of the chassis and race operations.
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.
This position is to be filled at Audi Formula Racing GmbH in Neuburg (Germany).
As a HiL Development Engineer , you will be responsible for the development of complex dynamic Hardware-in-the-loop environments, taking into account the overall progress of the project and its requirements.
In your role, you will oversee the development of real-time Hardware-in-the-Loop systems, with a particular focus on the power electronic domain.
Here, you can develop digital twin models of the Audi F1 power unit, including the high-voltage battery and power electronics, and test the ECU software before it hits the track.
The combination of high performance and competition is what drives innovation and technology transfer.
Take the leap into the pinnacle of motorsport and be a part of an ambitious team.
