Red Bull Engineering Academy

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.

Job Description

Ready to engineer the future of Formula 1 performance? Welcome to the Red Bull Engineering Academy (RBEA); a two-year, high-octane, rotational graduate programme within Red Bull Powertrains, designed to shape the world's most ambitious engineering talent into future technical leaders.

In a world of fierce technical competition, the Red Bull Engineering Academy is Red Bull Powertrains' elite pathway to shape world-class engineering talent from within. We believe in structured, global and high-impact development, transforming engineers who will not only keep up with the pace of F1 but set it

Why Join RBEA?

The Red Bull Powertrains Engineering Academy gives elite graduates the chance to work at the forefront of performance engineering, collaborating with some of the most innovative minds in motorsport. Expect to be thrown into real-world challenges that will test your intellect, creativity and resilience, all while rotating through critical departments within Red Bull Powertrains.

As part of this scheme, each graduate will follow a series of rotations designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of power unit development. In Test Engineering, you'll be challenged to combine hands-on testing with the practical and pragmatic design and development of fixtures and rigs across ICE and ERS specialisms. Within Durability & Performance, you'll help strike a balance between durability, performance, and trackside operational requirements to ensure the power unit keeps the Red Bull teams battling at the front of the grid. The Performance & Control rotation will immerse you in full-cycle performance deployment and development, working alongside experts focused on maximising power unit performance from concept to track. Finally, in Data Insights, you'll need an analytical mindset to successfully rotate between data science, engineering software, and cutting-edge advanced measurement specialisms to drive innovation and precision in the power units.

These rotations will equip you with a multidisciplinary foundation as you carve out a career within Red Bull Powertrains and contribute to Red Bull's relentless pursuit of innovation and competitive advantage in Formula One.

What You'll Experience:

• Fast-Track Development: Tackle complex projects, innovate at speed and own your engineering impact
• World-Class Mentoring: Learn from pioneers of F1 power unit engineering
• Professional Growth: Build leadership, project management and technical excellence, on and off the track
• A Career with Traction: Graduate into a full-time, high-impact engineering role within the Red Bull Technology Group

To be considered for the RBEA:

• Bachelor's Honours Degree in Engineering, Mathematics or Physics (minimum 2:1)
• A demonstrable passion for engineering through personal projects, competitions, or practical experience
• A solid understanding of engineering principles and the ability to apply mathematical methods to solve real-world problems
• Familiarity with specialist modelling and analysis tools such as CAD, FEA, CFD, or system modelling
• Experience with handling and analysing data from simulations or physical tests, and the ability to confidently prepare and present high-quality technical documentation
• Positive, can-do, attitude and willingness to continually expand your professional knowledge and develop technical skills
• Excellent communication skills and experience working in a team environment
• Curiosity, creativity and the courage to challenge convention allied to a relentless desire to push performance boundaries

Skills You'll Master:

• Using theoretical engineering knowledge to drive real-world innovation
• Leading complicated design and development projects with ownership and accountability
• Managing tightly controlled resources in high-pressure environments
• Effectively communicating advanced technical work to team-mates with clarity and confidence
• Embedding safety, ethics and sustainability into every engineering solution

This isn't just a graduate programme. It's a launchpad. A proving ground. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
