Welcome to the Audi F1 Project.
From 2026, Audi will compete in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship.
The new team has two locations. Audi's Motorsport Competence Center in Neuburg (Germany) is considered one of the most modern of its kind in Europe. The Sauber Group's Formula 1 factory in Hinwil (Switzerland) is known for innovative technologies and passion for racing. The power unit comes from Neuburg, while Hinwil is responsible for chassis development and race operations. The planned takeover by AUDI AG will turn two teams into one factory team - and you can be part of it.
What should you bring with you? The mindset of an athlete. So if you are someone who never gives up and for whom limits are only something to be overcome, then bring technology with us to Formula 1. Become a part of the unique project and make motorsport history.
The position for the Audi F1 Project is to be filled at Audi Formula Racing GmbH at the Neuburg (Germany) site.
In the area of electric machine development (MGU-K), you will work on the key component of high-performance electric drives and contribute your part to competitiveness in the highly competitive F1 environment. The thermal design of the MGU-K extends from the early concept phase through the detailed design to the validation of the simulation models using test bench tests.
YOUR TASKS
• Design of high-performance cooling concepts for electric machines in motorsport
• Evaluation and optimization of different cooling concepts using CFD calculations and thermal replacement networks
• Coordination of the feasibility of cooling concepts with experts from design
• Documentation and presentation of thermal simulation results
• Definition of suitable test bench tests for validating thermal simulations
• Selection of materials and cooling fluids based on thermal material properties
• Further development of simulation methods
• Support and coordination of external service providers
YOUR PROFILE
• Technical degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics or a comparable course of study
• In-depth knowledge in the area of cooling concepts for electrical machines
• Several years of professional experience in using tools for the thermal calculation of electrical machines, especially in the area of CFD simulations (preferably Star-CCM+)
• Basic knowledge of the mechanisms of action between thermals and electromagnetics in electrical machines
• Basic knowledge of common programming languages (e.g. Python, Java)
• Basic knowledge of CAD tools (Catia V5) and the Linux operating system
• Implementation strength, as well as a high degree of motivation and initiative
• Strong ability to work in a team
