Your mission
- Develop an innovative and highly efficient turbocharging system, from the concept stage to deployment on the racetrack
- Carry out thermodynamic development on the turbocharger and the charge-air and exhaust-managemenat systems, focusing on design, testing and 3D CFD analysis
- Work on the mechanical development of a high-pressure turbocharger for a high-performance race engine
- Independently plan, perform, and evaluate 3D CFD simulations and tests on engine dynamometers and hot gas test benches
- Analyze test results and damage patterns and devise optimization measures relating to the turbocharger assembly
Your profile
- Technical degree in mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, fluid mechanics (bachelor's, master's, graduate diploma (“Diplom”), or engineering doctorate (“Dr.-Ing.”))
- Several years of professional experience in turbocharger design (thermodynamic and mechanical testing or 3D CFD simulation) on high-performance internal combustion engines
- Broad knowledge of engine technology with excellent expertise in the fields of engine testing, measurement technology, and tribology
- Experience in operating hot gas test benches
- Full professional proficiency in German or English and a willingness to learn a basic level in the corresponding other language are prerequisites
- Excellent teamwork skills, organizational skills and a strong sense of responsibility
- Independent and precise working practices
Our Team
In the internal combustion engine development division, you will work on the thermodynamic and mechanical development of a high-performance powertrain. Your assignment will be to develop the maximum performance and efficiency of the turbocharging aspect of the engine while ensuring the required reliability at the same time, both during the concept and design phase and in the commissioning and testing phase.
Working closely with the design team, you will plan and execute 3D CFD simulations and carry out testing on a wide variety of engine and powertrain dynamometers as well as component test benches. You will analyze the products of the development process and then devise appropriate proposals for further development. With your efforts, you will support the overall development of the drive unit to achieve the required level of maturity in line with the schedule.
About us
Audi Formula Racing GmbH is a wholly owned subsidiary of Audi Sport and was founded in 2022 for the brand’s Formula 1 entry. From 2026, the brand with the four rings will compete in the widely popular FIA Formula 1 World Championship with an internally developed power unit and its own factory team. In the future, the program will spearhead Audi’s factory commitment in motorsport.
The power unit is developed at Audi Sport’s state-of-the-art Competence Center Motorsport in Neuburg an der Donau, close to AUDI AG’s corporate headquarters in Ingolstadt. The facility opened in 2014 and is considered as one of the most modern of its kind. It’s currently being expanded for the F1 program. For the first time since 2009, a Formula 1 power unit will be made in Germany.
The decision to enter Formula 1 was driven by new regulations announced by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). From 2026, sustainable synthetic fuels will be used while approximately 50% of the drivetrain’s power will be electric. Audi wants to actively support the transformation of what is by far the most important motorsport series.
Popular on a global stage, highly emotional and technologically advanced – Formula 1 is a spectacular platform for the world’s most sophisticated electrified racing cars. Audi wants to demonstrate “Vorsprung durch Technik” in this competitive environment and is putting together a highly specialized team to develop the power unit. Our basis is the extensive expertise gained from our successful motorsport involvement in Formula E, touring car racing, customer racing, the Dakar Rally and our Le Mans era.
Become a part of this unique project at the pinnacle of motorsport and get involved when Audi writes the next chapter of its motorsport history.
