Job description

Red Bull Powertrains is offering an incredible opportunity for an Analysis CAD Engineer to join our team as we head into our first-ever racing season with a Red Bull designed power unit. You'll be at the heart of our operation, developing and perfecting race-ready performance, playing a crucial role in delivering a power unit capable of competing at the sharp end of the 2026 Formula One grid.

Working within our Engineering Capabilities department you will be developing and maintaining robust NX-based models to improve and streamline the generation of simulation CAD geometry for CFD and FEA analysis. You will work with the Simulation and Design engineers to generate high-quality datasets, prepare CAD data, and identify and resolve reoccurring issues to reduce computational costs and enhance model accuracy.

Responsibilities

• Create simulation‑specific geometry in NX, including defeatured solids and simplified representations for FE models; ensure geometry is simulation‑ready, with watertight solids, consistent face/feature naming, clean topology suitable for meshing, and fluid volumes for CFD; build and manage reference sets and arrangements to quickly deliver CFD‑ and FEA‑ready CAD without duplicating models.
• Build robust parametric NX CAD models coupled with simulation pipeline automation through scripting, enabling advanced design optimization and DoE studies and fast regeneration of consistent geometry from expression‑driven inputs.
• Collaborate with Designers, CFD and FEA engineers to align NX modelling practices with solver and meshing requirements.
• Define, apply, and maintain NX CAD standards for simulation workflows (layer usage, naming conventions, expression structure).
• Create geometry cleanup utilities that deliver solutions enabling rapid import of clean CAD data into simulation environments.
• Develop clash and clearance validation tools that support virtual build and assembly feasibility checks to de‑risk processes.
• Provide training and support, acting as a change champion by onboarding engineers to new tools and promoting best practice adoption.

Qualifications

• Degree (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.
• Strong understanding of CFD principles and workflows.
• Experience in scripting or automation for engineering applications (e.g., Python, VB.NET, C#).
• Advanced proficiency in Siemens NX CAD and Teamcenter PLM system, including Modelling, Assemblies & Drafting fundamentals.
• Strong expertise in NX parametric modelling with a keen attention to detail to ensure robust, failure‑resistant parametric models.
• Deep understanding of geometry defeaturing, abstraction, and simplification for analysis.
• Experience with NX journals and automation (e.g., Python, VB.NET, C#).
• Systems‑level thinking with a focus on reuse and scalability.

Benefits

• Bonuses
• Private healthcare
• A pension scheme
• On‑site gym
• Free daily food allowance
• And many more!

At Red Bull Powertrains, we push the limits, fight for every victory, and get things done with relentless focus. Joining us means being part of a high‑performance team that thrives on collaboration, trust, and ambition. We celebrate wins, learn from challenges, and take our work seriously—but not ourselves.

Most importantly, you'll play a key role in powering championship‑winning cars.

If you're ready to be part of something extraordinary, apply now and help shape the future of F1.
