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), known as 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, 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 limits are just challenges to overcome, you can bring Vorsprung durch Technik to Formula 1 with us. Join this unique project and make motorsport history.

The position for the Audi F1 Project is at Audi Formula Racing GmbH in Neuburg, Germany.

In internal combustion engine development, you'll work on the combustion process and calibration of a high-performance powertrain. Your tasks include developing maximum performance and efficiency of the engine, focusing on combustion processes, turbocharging, and calibration, while ensuring reliability. You will perform development measures during the concept, design, commissioning, and testing phases.

Your Mission

• Develop combustion process and gas-exchange via 3D-CFD simulations
• Conduct thermodynamic development of the internal combustion engine, including gas-exchange, combustion phase, and flow simulation of intake & exhaust systems
• Plan, perform, and evaluate 3D CFD simulations with proper reports
• Correlate simulation results with measurement data from engine tests and testbenches
• Improve processes and workflows 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 and 3D CFD simulation
• Broad knowledge of engine technology and virtual development tool chains
• Experience handling data from testbenches
• Excellent teamwork, organizational skills, and responsibility
• Independent and precise working practices
• Proficiency in German or English, with willingness to learn the other language
