At Red Bull Racing & Technology, we don’t just compete – we innovate, disrupt, and push beyond the limits of performance. We are driven by relentless ambition, cutting-edge technology, and the determination to win at every level.
You will:
- Play a leading role in the design and development of complex mechanical assemblies, mechanisms, and precision engineering systems, including hydraulic systems, electro-mechanical systems, and motion/actuation systems, for the Wind Tunnel and Wind Tunnel Model.
- Own design solutions through the full lifecycle: concept schemes, preliminary design, detailed design, FEA validation, manufacturing liaison, and test/verification support.
- Translate aerodynamic development requirements into robust and manufacturable engineering solutions, collaborating directly with aerodynamicists, model shop, manufacturing teams, and suppliers, within tight deadlines.
- Take ownership of all relevant manufacturing and assembly drawings, ensuring GD&T compliance throughout to a high standard.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of engineering standards and methodologies within the group and the wider department.
Technical requirements:
- Experience designing complex mechanical systems within motorsport, aerospace, defence, robotics, automation, or other high-performance engineering environments. Proficiency in 3D CAD (Siemens NX preferred), including large assemblies, drafting, motion simulation, and electrical/hydraulic routing, sheet metal and FEA.
- Expert application of GD&T and tolerance stack analysis, to BS 8888 and ISO 1101 standards.
- Proven FEA modelling and interpretation experience, including static structural analysis, modal and frequency response analysis, and fatigue/durability assessments – not just static checks.
- Strong machine design knowledge, including mechanisms, bearings, transmissions, structural joints, and precision assemblies.
- Excellent understanding of manufacturing processes (CNC machining, EDM, fabrication) and materials (specifications, mechanical properties, heat treatments, surface engineering).
Highly desirable:
- Hydraulic systems design, including hydraulic schematics, HPUs, actuators, valves, servo-hydraulic systems, and system integration.
- Mechatronic or robotic system design, including motors, encoders, brakes, sensors, motion control, and electro-mechanical actuation.
What sets a strong candidate apart:
- 2+ years’ track record of owning complex design packages independently, not just executing detailed design under close direction.
- Experience working to tight deadlines in a high-performance environment, where design iteration speed and weight optimisation are critical.
- A genuinely creative, first-time-right approach to problem-solving, balanced with rigorous engineering discipline (FMEA, design reviews, risk logs).
- Excellent cross-functional communication – comfortable presenting design rationale to aerodynamicists and challenging requirements where needed.
At Red Bull Technology, we’re more than a Formula 1 team – we’re a high-performance innovation hub, pushing the limits of what’s possible. We thrive on big ambitions, bold engineering, and a relentless drive to win.
Our success is built on trust, collaboration, and the belief that the best ideas come from those who dare to challenge the norm.
Alongside a competitive salary, you’ll enjoy:
- Bonus scheme.
- Private healthcare.
- A pension scheme.
- On-site gym.
- Free daily food allowance.
- And many more!
But above all, you’ll be part of a world-class team, powering cutting-edge technology and driving championship-winning cars.
