About the position
SIMULATION AND MODELLING ENGINEER FORMULA 1
Your mission
- Developing a state-of-the-art whole-vehicle simulation to optimise lap times and vehicle setup
- Deriving model equations, focusing on vehicle dynamics
- Analysing existing models and implementing solutions to enhance model quality, processing time and robustness
- Managing and checking the plausibility of simulation parameters and K&C data
- Validating models using measurement data to ensure model quality
- Integrating models in offline simulation/optimisation tools, as well as in HIL/DIL system environments and on various powertrain test rigs
- Analysing the performance of current F1 vehicles and projecting the results onto the next generation of vehicles, some aspects of which have yet to be defined
- Carrying out whole-vehicle simulation in accordance with the 2026 power unit and chassis regulations, focusing on the influence of the powertrain on vehicle dynamics

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.
