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 three 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 its innovative technologies and passion for racing. The Sauber Motorsport Technical Center, UK will be operational this year. Our Power Unit comes from Neuburg, while Hinwil is responsible for the development of the chassis and race operations. 
 
What you need? The mindset of an athlete. If you are someone for whom giving up isn’t an option and limits are just something to be overcome, you can bring Vorsprung durch Technik to Formula 1 with us. Become part of this unique project and make motorsport history. 

If you would like to develop state-of-the-art numerical simulation and optimization tools and build software used to enhance car performance at every race, this internship might be the one for you.

This is a 6- or 12-month internship starting in January or Februrary 2026.
  
 This position for the Audi F1 Project is at Sauber in Hinwil (Switzerland).
