Career

Sipos Beatrix has been part of the Audi Formula Racing GmbH team in Neuburg since 2023, where she works on the development of the Audi Revolut F1 Team’s powertrain. After her secondary school years in Veszprém, her path led her to Győr, to Széchenyi István University, and then to technical development at Audi Hungaria. As a finite element simulation engineer, she gained professional experience at our company that later became her entry ticket into the world’s most complex technical racing series. In the interview, she talks about how a factory visit became a goal, how that goal became a conscious professional journey, and how engineering experience gained in Győr turned into a Formula 1 career.

For some, a presentation sets the direction. For others, an internship starts everything. Péter Eigner’s journey has been shaped by curiosity, an engineering mindset, and a drive for continuous improvement. During his years at Audi Hungaria, lean has become not just a professional field for him, but a way of thinking. In this conversation, we travel from the very first steps to the world of complex value streams.

Through both his work and his lifestyle, Barnabás Palavics sets an example. He is driven by challenges and motivated by unexpected situations. While he could now feel at home in three different countries as a true global citizen, for some time he has defined “home” not by a place, but by a person. An interview from Wolfsburg – between demand and capacity, and between Toronto and Győr…

Exactly 23 years ago, László Hausel joined the Audi Hungaria team as an employee, although his story with the company had already begun a few years earlier as an intern. Over the course of his career, he progressed from quality assurance through the development of internal combustion engines to the world of electric drives. On the occasion of his anniversary, we spoke with him about the defining professional experiences, turning points, and successes of the past more than two decades.

Krisztián Horváth started his career as a transport engineer, later became a vehicle engineer, then moved from analysis engineering to IT controlling. During his university years in Győr, he became fascinated by the Audi brand – and everything it stands for. His journey to the parent company in Ingolstadt was driven by a desire for discovery: he wanted to get to know the company from which the four-ringed site in Győr had been developed more than three decades ago.

Máté Matuska is a vehicle engineering graduate from Győr who has followed an impressive and inspiring career path in just a few years. Starting out in the Formula Student team at Széchenyi István University, he made his way to the heart of Audi’s Formula 1 project. Today, he works as a performance simulation engineer at Audi Formula Racing GmbH in Neuburg. The company develops and manufactures the Audi F1 Power Unit. Máté supports the Audi Revolut F1 Team on race weekends by optimizing hybrid powertrain operation and energy management. In this interview, he talks about his professional journey, experiences, the technical world behind Formula 1, life abroad, and what it takes to become a successful F1 engineer.

26 years ago, on this day, Szilárd Varga joined Audi Hungaria. Since then, he has gained experience across numerous areas and positions in vehicle production and has witnessed many changes firsthand. Now he shares his personal perspective on the past decades and the moments that have shaped his career.

Analysis and determination go hand in hand. With a degree in electrical engineering and a diploma in mechanical engineering, Nándor Tombor became an analytical engineer at our company, and while he excelled in his profession, he also excelled in building analytical areas. In his work, e-motors play the main role, but in his free time, he is all about the thrill of speed and gasoline fumes on the racetrack.

11 years ago exactly on this day, Gábor Bene joined Audi Hungaria, where he has since been pursuing a career filled with continuous professional development and varied tasks. Over the past decade, he has worked with colleagues and partners in many fields, while proving himself in roles of increasing responsibility.

Curiosity led him to a career in physics, and today the same curiosity helps him look behind the latest technological solutions – whether they involve digital services or drones. Ervin Onozó, patent attorney at Audi Hungaria, encounters innovative ideas every day and ensures that the company’s technological expertise receives adequate protection. His position simultaneously requires technical understanding, legal precision, and strategic thinking – and it is precisely this complexity that makes his work truly exciting for him.

Not only a landscape, a view or a scene can be picturesque, but also a professional career. A great example for this is Ádám Horváth, a mechanical engineer graduate from the University of Győr, who committed himself to Audi Hungaria right at the start of his career and spent his internship there. In connection with his posting in Neckarsulm, we asked him about the “colours” of his almost two-decade-long Audi career.

Exactly nine years ago today, Benjámin Horváth joined Audi Hungaria. Since then, he has become one of the key figures behind development and digitalization within the body shop. Starting his journey as an intern, he later became an engineer who launched systems that are now used not only in Győr, but across the entire Group.
