from Mexico about his internship at the Neckarsulm High-Voltage Battery Center

“With new technologies, we are creating important prerequisites for a higher level of sustainability.”

 

More details

Why did you apply to Audi?

I have always been passionate about Audi. For that reason, I’d had Audi in the back of my mind as an employer for a long time. In my home country of Mexico, the company is considered one of the best employers, and getting a job there is regarded as a great success. Some of the most exclusive models are produced in Neckarsulm, so I am particularly proud to be able to work here.

What are you working on at the moment?

I’m updating the results of the battery runtime tests. In doing so, we test various factors that affect vehicle batteries. The aim is to further optimize their performance, thereby boosting customer satisfaction. The working environment in the high-voltage battery center is very modern, and we have state-of-the-art equipment here.

What is your professional goal?

I am studying Mechanical Engineering and aiming to become a vehicle designer. As most cars will be electric in the future, the battery will play a central role in vehicle architecture. That’s precisely why I’m currently learning the basics: How does a car battery work? How is it constructed? To answer these questions, we are constantly looking for answers and carrying out further research. Because with new technologies, we are creating important prerequisites for a higher level of sustainability.

MingMing Lyu

from China about her internship in the digitalization of Logistics in Neckarsulm

“Audi offers many opportunities for students.”

 

More details

What are you working on?

My department is working on digitalizing an increasing number of processes in Logistics. I am involved in sub-projects and take on tasks relating to the topics of Smart Factory and Industry 4.0. My work involves the technical implementation of system concepts, as well as determining information requirements for planned processes and creating decision papers.

Would you recommend an internship at Audi?

Definitely. Audi offers many opportunities for students. We benefit from an attractive program here. Before I had even started my internship, my supervisor got in touch with useful tips for the first few days. There are regular meetings to exchange ideas with other interns both in a professional and private context. The team is also very professional and helpful. I had so many questions at the beginning, and they always took the time to answer them for me.

Did you move to Germany from China for the internship?

I have been living in Germany for three years now. I studied in Berlin, then moved to Neckarsulm for the internship. It is important for me to use this opportunity to further improve my language skills. The work environment is international, and meetings are often held in English. In everyday life, however, I try to speak German as frequently as possible.

Thais Lerrigo

from France about her internship as a designer in internal communications in the Production department in Ingolstadt

“It’s important for me to be able to get a taste of an international company.”

 

More details

Your job is to design the graphics for employee communications. What does your day-to-day work entail?

I take care of design elements for internal communications in the Production division: This includes creating images and logos for presentations and events, producing our weekly newsletter, and designing and maintaining the global Audi intranet.

What do you find particularly appealing about your work?

I am studying Global Design, so it was important for me to be able to get a taste of an international company. I can pour my creativity into numerous projects here.

Would you recommend Audi as an employer?

Yes, absolutely. I received such a warm welcome and learn something new every day, both professionally and in terms of working together. I am very happy that I decided to do an internship at Audi.

How do you like Ingolstadt?

I find the town very pleasant. I often go jogging along the Danube and generally do a lot of outdoor activities. And I quickly made friends: I often meet up with other interns and also do things with them at the weekend. This network is very valuable.

Tushit Luchmun
from Mauritius about his internship in Tire Development in Ingolstadt

“I have a very valuable environment here for learning more and also applying what I have learned.”

 

More details

How did you come to work at Audi?

I always wanted to work for one of the big car companies – that was a major wish of mine. That’s also why I came to Germany. I’m originally from Mauritius, an island nation in the Indian Ocean. I lived in Koblenz for a year to learn German, then moved to Hamburg to study Automotive Engineering.

What do you find fascinating about your work?

Tires are the only thing between the car and the road surface. This means that they have a direct impact on comfort, dynamics, and safety. For everything to work, we have to work together like in an ecosystem, for example with the departments for brakes, steering, or wheels. That’s teamwork.

 

How do you feel in your team?

I feel very comfortable in my team. We have a great mix of many young people who bring their latest knowledge from university with them, but also specialists with a lot of experience. This makes it a very valuable environment for learning more and also applying what you have learned. Overall, I can recommend an internship at Audi, especially to car fans like me.

Leia Hoenerbach
from Cologne about her internship in Development Technology Strategy Driving/Energy

“The exchange with other departments and brands has been very exciting because it always provides new input.”

 

More details

Why did you decide on an internship at Audi?

I’m studying Geography in Innsbruck and am part of the Formula Student team at my university. We were in Austria last summer at the racetrack in Spielberg, where I got to know the Audi team. I had a chat with an expert from Technical Development. We talked about sustainability in motorsport and discovered that we have a shared passion.

What does your work at Audi involve?

I always work on a project-by-project basis. We created a raw material simulation for future bottlenecks, for example with lithium. We also investigated innovative topics such as white hydrogen as a drive option – this has a lot to do with plate tectonics, which is why I was able to contribute particularly well with my knowledge as a geography student. I carried out extensive research and also presented the topic in Group working groups.

 

How do you like the cooperation in the team?

We’re a small team that works a lot with other departments, especially Procurement. So far, I’ve particularly liked the fact that there have always been new challenges and that we’ve worked on many innovative topics. I’ve loved the cross-departmental approach and the openness to new solutions and other topics.

What do you like most about the internship?

What I enjoy most are the innovative topics and the presentations in larger groups. The dialog with other departments and brands is very exciting because I always get new input. It’s important for our work to get opinions from outside and to approach issues from different angles.


That’s why starting this fall, I'll be writing my final thesis in the same team, focusing on lifecycle assessment and sustainability.
