Job description

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), one of the most modern of its kind 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—resilience and determination. If giving up isn’t an option for you and limits are meant to be overcome, join us to bring Vorsprung durch Technik to Formula 1. Be part of this unique project and make motorsport history.

Position:

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

Responsibilities:

• Develop combustion process and gas-exchange via 3D-CFD simulations.
• Conduct thermodynamic development of the internal combustion engine, including gas-exchange, combustion phases, and flow simulations of intake and exhaust systems.
• Plan, perform, and evaluate 3D CFD simulations with proper reporting.
• Create correlations with measurement data from engine testing and testbenches.
• Develop processes and improve workflows and toolchains for simulation and data correlation.

Your Profile:

• Technical degree in mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, fluid mechanics, or related fields (bachelor's, master's, Diplom, or Dr.-Ing.).
• Several years of professional experience in internal combustion engine development and 3D CFD simulation.
• Broad knowledge of engine technology and virtual development toolchains.
• Experience handling data from testbenches.
• Excellent teamwork, organizational skills, and a strong sense of responsibility.
• Ability to work independently and precisely.
• Proficiency in German or English; willingness to learn the other language is a plus.

About us:

We are an equal opportunity employer celebrating diversity and committed to creating an inclusive environment. We welcome applications from people with disabilities and look forward to your application to join our pursuit of excellence in Formula 1.
