Join the Audi F1 Project - Shape the Future of Motorsport!
Welcome to the Audi F1 Project.
Audi will be competing in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship from 2026. The new team has two locations: Audi's Motorsport Competence Center in Neuburg (Germany) and the Sauber Group's Formula 1 factory in Hinwil (Switzerland). The Power Unit comes from Neuburg, while Hinwil is responsible for the development of the chassis and race operations. You can be part of this exciting project.
Do you have the Mindset of a Champion?
We are looking for an experienced Thermal Simulation Engineer to join our Systems group.
Where?
The position for the Audi F1 Project is at Sauber in Hinwil (Switzerland).
Your mission:
1. Responsibility for the development of innovative and effective thermal solutions for the power unit cooling systems.
2. Use 1D / 3D simulations to investigate concepts and complete design validation against programme targets.
3. Work closely with our Aerodynamic, Design and Vehicle Performance groups as well as our Power Unit colleagues in Neuburg to implement thermal solutions.
4. Contribute to the calibration and correlation of the computational and physical modelling toolsets used for thermal predictions.
5. Investigate and validate concepts with test benches and track testing, and analyse and support track operations with event-specific predictions.
6. Contribute to our continual development of toolsets and procedures to reduce development times, improve testing accuracy, and aid data analysis.
Your profile:
1. Degree qualification in a mechanical, aeronautical or science discipline.
2. Solid knowledge of heat transfer and fluid mechanics fundamentals, ideally with experience in F1 power unit thermal simulations.
3. Experience with simulation tools such as GT Suite, Kuli, Matlab / Simulink, and experience in data analysis (proficiency in programming is an advantage).
4. At least 5 years’ experience in a thermodynamics / aerodynamics environment, ideally in high-level motorsport.
5. Professional proficiency in English for effective report communication.
6. Excellent teamwork, communication & organisational skills.
7. Ability to work efficiently under pressure and with a keen sense of responsibility.
