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.
