Work Environment

Do you want to experience high performance and help design the future of motorsports? Then Audi is the right place for you. Sportiness is one of the core features of the Audi trademark – it’s in our genes, which have evolved over more than 25 years of successful participation in motorsports. It is the goal of Audi Formula Racing GmbH to engage in sustainable racing at the highest level worldwide and to give customers and fans a spectacular impression of the brand’s performance. Grab this chance and make your mark on our future sporting successes.

With the aim of making the new commitment to motorsports and to participating in an international race series, Audi Formula Racing GmbH is setting up a team to develop a high-performance drive system. As part of the internal combustion engine development division, you will apply your key skills working in an international team in Neuburg a. d. Donau with framework conditions that enable you to actively shape your day-to-day work.

In return, we offer you an attractive package of benefits for maximum flexibility, personal development, attention to your heath, and, above all, pleasure in what you do.

As a team coordinator, you will work in the internal combustion engine development division on the conceptual design, creation and ongoing development of a high-performance powertrain. Together with the team, you will help design the process here, continue to develop the applied methods and make sure your results are satisfactorily validated. It will be your task here to assess and optimize, independently and on your own initiative the function of components and assemblies on the basis of CFD flow analyses and FE calculations. In the area of modeling and simulating multibody systems, you will describe the dynamic interaction between various components in a multibody system software program and derive from that the load situation for the system as well as the components involved. You will help design the process here, continue to develop the applied methods and make sureyour results are satisfactorily validated. In collaboration with your colleagues from the areas of design, combustion process development, and engine testing, you will ensure that the components reach a maturity level that is required for the environment as quickly as possible.

Job Purpose/Role

• Planing and performance of CFD flow analyses as well as statistical, transient, and thermal simulations of fluid circuits and air and exhaust gas lines
• Creation of simulation models, including pre and post-processing, as well as result validation
• Planning and performance of finite element method strength analyses, statistical, dynamic and thermal simulations as well as fatigue analyses
• Creation of the FE models and evaluation and validation of the results
• Planning and setup of multibody simulation (MBS) models
• Model setup through finite element analyses to take component flexibility into consideration
• The system behavior has to be optimized, other load parameters have to be developed in the post-process
• Documentation and presentation of the results
• Support and coordination of external service providers
• Performance of methodical basic work for optimizing the simulation processes and their forecasting quality

Key Requirements/Skills/Experience

• Technical studies in mechanical engineering, automotive engineering or similar
• Several years of experience in the field of flow simulation, preferably in the area of motorsports
• In-depth knowledge in the field of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics
• Programming skills in Fortran, Perl, and Java are preferable
• Skills in handling the Ansa, CFX, StarCD, eslCE, StarCCM+ programs
• Skills in handling FE tools such as Abaqus and Femfat as well as Ansa and Meta-Post
• In-depth knowledge in the area of construction materials, operating stability, and machine elements
• Several years’ experience in the field of computational structural analysis with a focus on MBS and FEM
• Skills in handling tools such as Adams, Simdrive, Excite, Simulation X or others
• Excellent teamwork skills, organizational skills, and keen sense of responsibility
• Team leadership experience
• Audi-style leadership characteristics (set of values)
• Flexible, independent, and precise working practices
• Ability to make decisions and handle conflicts
• Full professional proficiency in German or English and a willingness to learn a basic level in the corresponding other language are prerequisites
