Overview
Join the Audi F1 Project. Audi will compete in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship from 2026. The new team has three locations: the Sauber Group's Formula 1 factory in Hinwil (Switzerland), Audi's Motorsport Competence Center in Neuburg (Germany), and Sauber Motorsport Technology Center in the UK. The Power Unit comes from Neuburg, while Hinwil develops the chassis and race operations with support from the UK. We are opening applications for our inaugural Graduate Programme. In your graduate role, you will contribute directly to live projects and gain hands-on experience from day one.
Continuous improvement is at the core of what we do. You will be encouraged to adapt and innovate, strengthen your skills, and develop a growth mindset. Clear and effective communication, as well as constructive feedback, are essential for collaboration across teams. You will share knowledge openly and learn from the experience of your teammates. We place great emphasis on ownership: you will take responsibility for your work, make informed decisions, and understand how your contributions shape the wider team’s success.
Your mission
As a graduate member of the Vehicle Dynamics team, you’ll focus on analysing, developing, and optimising the performance of our Formula 1 cars. You’ll work closely with Aerodynamics, Simulation, Design Office, and Race Engineering teams to maximise car performance, reliability, and driver feedback. Your responsibilities include data analysis, vehicle setup optimisation, trackside support, and developing dynamic simulation models. This role offers the opportunity to work at the cutting edge of motorsport technology, contribute to race-winning strategies, and grow your expertise in high-performance vehicle dynamics.
