Shape the Future of Motorsport
Audi will be competing in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship from 2026, with 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.
We are looking for an experienced Systems Simulation Engineer to join our Systems group at Sauber in Hinwil, Switzerland.
Your key responsibilities:
* Design and develop simulation models to support mechanical and hydraulic systems design of the Power Unit integration, steering, braking, fuel & cooling layouts.
* Perform detailed simulations of the hydraulic systems to ensure performance and reliability of the relevant layouts and provide recommendations for integration.
* Collaborate with Design, Vehicle Performance, Simulator groups, and Power Unit colleagues to implement and refine simulations and create a digital twin of the system.
* Analyze test data to correlate models and identify potential for system improvements.
* Support R&D testing for sub-assembly systems evaluation with test plans and operational predictions.
* Contribute to toolset and procedure development to reduce development times, improve testing accuracy, and aid data analysis.
Requirements:
* Degree qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related discipline.
* At least 5 years' experience in systems simulation, ideally within an F1 or high-performance environment using tools like Matlab / Simulink, Amesim, Dymola, and programming (e.g. Python).
* Solid knowledge of mechanical and hydraulic systems integration with car control systems, proficiency in CAD design is an advantage.
* Professional proficiency in English for effective report communication.
* Excellent teamwork, communication & organizational skills.
