Junior Engineering Tools Engineer

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

We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and talented Junior Engineering Tools Engineer to join us in developing the next generation of Formula 1 hybrid power units.

Your role:

• Continually interrogate departmental working practices to provide the best workflows, identify bottle necks, documenting problems and prioritising work
• Define, document and communicate the engineering practices we should adhere to, ultimately: how we design, build, test and optimise a PU
• Design and develop software to optimise these processes, gather requirements and feedback from all users, ensuring all relevant stakeholders are involved
• Collaborate with other internal software development teams to deliver the right systems using the most appropriate technologies available
• Deliver software and process solutions to enable the PU build and assembly teams ensuing a robust and accurate process
• Develop simulation tools to provide fast accurate simulations

Essential skills:

• Proficient with Python or similar languages
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong professional relationships across the Red Bull Technology Campus

Additional skills:

• Understanding of what makes up a hybrid power unit
• Knowledge and understanding of the design of mechanical or electrical components and systems for manufacture and assembly
• Experience managing SharePoint sites, and developing forms and workflows with Power Automate
• Understanding of version control software, such as Git or SVN
• Experience using task management software, such as DevOps or Jira
• Understanding of Linux operating systems and batch queuing systems

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. Alongside a competitive salary, you’ll enjoy

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

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.
