Job Description:

For many fans of Formula One, the sport exists between lights and chequered flag on a Sunday afternoon. It begins and ends with the exploits of the drivers on the track. But this is merely the tip of the spear. The reality of modern F1 is that of a complex and intertwined operation, every part of which needs to perform near its limit if success is to be achieved. From the pit crew searching for the ultimate repeatable pit stop, to the inspiration of the designers, the application of engineers and the herculean efforts of an army of fabricators and machinists. Much of our success is thanks to the diversity of thought and spectrum of skill sets held within the team, our ability to recognise unique contributions from individual team members is just a part of why we love what we do.

• Continuously improve design and test processes

What We’re Looking For:

• An Electrical/Electronic Engineer degree or equivalent qualification
• Multi-year experience in state-of-art electronics systems and test engineering
• Skilled at starting a system design from a blank sheet of paper and finding innovative solutions, which enable performance advantages while maintaining the highest product quality
• Background of designing highly efficient and power-dense hybrid systems
• Proven track record of successful fault investigation, containment, and rectification
• Team spirit, creativity, and a proactive approach to work
• Familiarity with tools such as System Monitor, ATLAS and MATLAB would be advantageous

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.
