Red Bull Technology are inviting candidates to apply for Industrial Student Placement positions within Vehicle Performance Group. There are two positions available in the Suspension and Simulation Performance teams.
The positions are ideal for students enrolled in Mechanical, Aeronautical or Automotive Engineering courses but we encourage applications from anyone enrolled on a STEM-based course, who can show a strong interest in vehicle performance and data analysis.
Candidates will be required to demonstrate:
- Excellent mathematical and analytical skills.
- In-depth knowledge of vehicle dynamics principles.
- Experience with programming/data-science (Python would be particularly advantageous).
- Good written and face-to-face communication.
The successful candidates will develop skills in problem solving, creativity, teamwork, planning, innovation, and communication. Regardless of specialisation, both positions will require working closely with the wider Vehicle
Dynamics group and business. Specific tasks likely to be undertaken include:
- Providing predictive performance analysis prior to each event, and for longer-term goals like future car concepts.
- Validating models against track data and developing them to improve accuracy.
- Supporting real-time and ad-hoc data analysis of race and test events, including through Race weekends in the Red Bull operations room.
- Developing automated routines and processes for data analysis and metrics generation to improve our efficiency.
- Utilising design-of-experiments methods and existing toolsets to explore the vehicle design space.
- Improving the visualisation of data so that the wider company can quickly and accurately understand our conclusions.
The Vehicle Performance Group's work is tightly coupled to the Race calendar so during the racing season there will be a strong bias towards preparing for the upcoming events and analysing recent performance. During the off-season, projects will switch towards longer-term work, and successful applicants should expect larger, more complicated projects which lay the foundation for future successes in years to come.
Not only is this a fantastic opportunity to complete your student placement at our championship winning team, but it is also a great opportunity to work with some of the greatest talents in F1. A good salary is just the start, there are many other benefits too, such as a daily food allowance, free gym access and fitness classes, multiple discounts and offers with our partners, free coffee, unlimited Red Bull and much more!
