Job Description:

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), the Sauber Group's Formula 1 factory in Hinwil (Switzerland), and the Sauber Motorsport Technical Center in the UK. Our Power Unit comes from Neuburg, while Hinwil is responsible for chassis development 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.

The position for the Audi F1 Project is to be filled 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 tasks include developing maximum engine performance and efficiency in combustion, turbocharging, and calibration, while ensuring reliability. You will perform development measures during concept, design, commissioning, and testing phases.

Your Mission

• Development of combustion process and gas-exchange via 3D-CFD simulations
• Thermodynamic development of the internal combustion engine's gas-exchange, combustion phase, and flow simulation of intake & exhaust systems
• Plan, perform, and evaluate 3D CFD simulations with proper reports
• Correlate measurement data from engine operation 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, diploma, or Dr.-Ing.)
• Several years of experience in internal combustion development (3D CFD simulation)
• Broad engine technology knowledge with expertise in virtual development tool chains
• Experience in data handling from testbenches
• Excellent teamwork, organizational skills, and responsibility
• Independent and precise working practices
• Proficiency in German or English; willingness to learn the other language is a plus
