Job description

Motorsport is the world's most competitive engineering sector. At the pinnacle of motorsport, Formula One teams get to test their engineering prowess race by race against ultra-competitive peers in front of an audience measured in the hundreds of millions.

Working for Red Bull Racing is fundamentally different to working for any of our competitors. It has the technological expertise and facilities that you would come to expect from a world championship-winning Formula One team but with an atmosphere that is uniquely Red Bull. Team spirit is the foundation of everything we do, with every job making a vital contribution to the development and racing of our Formula One cars.

The work is not only demanding but the pace of development is so fast that your feet will barely touch the ground – but job satisfaction really does not get any better than the winning feeling of making a real contribution to a grand prix-winning car.

Red Bull Technology is inviting candidates to apply for Industrial Placement positions within its Structures Department.

Structures Group

As part of the role, you will have the following opportunities:

• Contributing to the structural design, analysis, and performance of the car.
• Working with the different groups across the design office to provide feedback and sign-off for car components and assemblies.
• Learning to prepare, run, and post-process FEA models.
• Providing supporting hand calculations for initial concept development and final sign-off of components.
• Developing tools and processes to improve the efficiency of the group.
• Developing physical testing routines and appraising subsequent data from the R&D laboratory.
• Developing understanding of loading regimes and duty cycle through interrogation of track data.
• Developing problem-solving and communication skills through working closely with fellow engineers.
• Opportunities to provide Factory “Ops Room” Support during a Race Weekend.

Candidates wishing to apply for this role should possess an active interest in topics such as Structural Mechanics, Material Science, and Mathematical Modelling.

Exposure to those topics is beneficial, but not essential.

To be eligible for this placement applicants must be returning to higher education to study for at least 1 year after their placement year.

Confirmation of this should be in place at the time of application.

While we would like to open this opportunity up to all applicants, these positions are intended to be a work placement for students currently undertaking higher education and is therefore the eligibility requirement.

The placement will be for 1 year, starting in the summer of 2027.

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 free daily food allowance, free gym access and fitness classes, multiple discounts and offers with our partners, free barista-style coffee, unlimited Red Bull, and much more!

Application closing date: 16:00 (BST) Friday, 25th September 2026.
