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. As a CFD Methodology Engineer, you’ll be at the forefront of translating cutting‑edge simulations into real‑world aerodynamic performance. You’ll push the boundaries of numerical methods, fine‑tune turbulence models, and elevate solver accuracy - ensuring virtual results mirror what happens in the wind tunnel and on track. Your work will shape the way the car is designed, how efficiently it slices through the air, and how race strategies are executed - playing a crucial part in keeping Red Bull Racing ahead of the competition.
We are looking for someone who can:
- Align CFD simulations with wind tunnel and on‑track data to improve accuracy.
- Refine turbulence models and solver techniques for more reliable aerodynamic predictions.
- Collaborate with aerodynamicists and race engineers to interpret and apply correlation insights.
- Enhance modelling fidelity and efficiency through vehicle analysis and HPC‑driven workflows.
The successful candidate will have:
- Advanced degree (MSc/PhD) in CFD, Aerodynamics, Mechanical Engineering, or Applied Mathematics, with strong solver experience.
- Deep knowledge of turbulence modelling, boundary layers, and numerical methods, with correlation to wind tunnel and track data.
- Proficiency in Python, C++, and Linux for automation, post‑processing, and efficient workflows.
- Experience with HPC environments, parallel CFD, and high‑performance simulation in fast‑paced settings.
Desirable: motorsport aero experience, model calibration, adjoint optimisation, and exposure to ML or aeroelastic simulations.
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. Ready to take on the challenge? Apply now and be part of the future of F1.
