Our TeamWelcome to the Audi F1 Project.

Audi will be competing in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship from 2026.

The new team has three locations: the Motorsport Competence Center of Audi in Neuburg (Germany), one of the most modern in Europe; the Sauber Group's Formula 1 factory in Hinwil (Switzerland), known for innovative technologies; and the Sauber Motorsport Technical Center, UK, operational this year. Our Power Unit is developed in Neuburg, while Hinwil focuses on chassis and race operations.

What you need? The mindset of an athlete. If giving up isn’t an option for you and you see limits as challenges, you can bring Vorsprung durch Technik to Formula 1 with us. Join this unique project and make motorsport history.

The position is based at Audi Formula Racing GmbH in Neuburg, Germany.

In internal combustion engine development, you will work on the combustion process and calibration of a high-performance powertrain. Your task is to optimize engine performance and efficiency, focusing on combustion processes, turbocharging, and calibration, while ensuring reliability. You will be involved in development during concept, design, commissioning, and testing phases.

Your Mission

• Develop combustion process and gas-exchange via 3D-CFD simulations
• Perform thermodynamic development of engine gas-exchange, combustion, and flow simulations of intake & exhaust systems
• Plan, perform, and evaluate 3D CFD simulations with reports
• Correlate simulation data with engine and testbench measurements
• Enhance workflows and tools for simulation and data correlation

Your Profile

• Technical degree in mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, fluid mechanics (bachelor's, master's, Diplom, or Dr.-Ing.)
• Several years of experience in internal combustion development and 3D CFD simulation
• Knowledge of engine technology and virtual development tool chains
• Experience with testbench data handling
• Strong teamwork, organizational skills, and responsibility
• Independent and precise working style
• Proficiency in German or English, with willingness to learn the other language
