Our Team

Welcome 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), considered 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 in the UK, which will be operational this year. Our Power Unit is developed in Neuburg, while Hinwil focuses on chassis and race operations.

We seek individuals with an athlete's mindset—those who see limits as challenges to overcome. Join us and bring Vorsprung durch Technik to Formula 1. Be part of history.

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

Your role involves working on the combustion process and calibration of a high-performance powertrain in internal combustion engine development. Your goal is to optimize engine performance and efficiency, focusing on combustion processes, turbocharging, and calibration, while ensuring reliability. You will engage in development activities during the concept, design, commissioning, and testing phases.

Your Mission

• Develop combustion processes and gas-exchange via 3D-CFD simulations
• Conduct thermodynamic development of engine gas-exchange, combustion phases, and flow simulations of intake & exhaust systems
• Plan, perform, and evaluate 3D CFD simulations with detailed reports
• Create correlations with measurement data from engine tests and testbenches
• Improve workflows and toolchains for simulation and test 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, especially 3D CFD simulation
• Broad knowledge of engine technology and virtual development tool chains
• Experience with data handling from testbenches
• Strong teamwork, organizational skills, and responsibility
• Independent and precise working style
• Proficiency in German or English, with willingness to learn the other language
