Red Bull Powertrains is offering a one-year placement opportunity within our Systems Engineering teams. In these hands-on roles, you will be immersed into the heart of our state-of-the-art Technical and Testing facilities where we drive engineering and innovation to the limit to develop cutting-edge Formula 1 power units. Pushing boundaries is in our DNA!
Responsibilities
- Contribute to all stages of the embedded control, calibration, and application process of optimizing single-cylinder and multi-cylinder engines, as well as hybrid power units - from controls strategy, embedded software validation, engine calibration and testing, to on-track deployment of the 2027 Power Unit.
- Work within a team of engineers to define, develop, and test embedded software strategies for PU control and performance optimization.
- Apply engineering principles to understand the systems level interactions of the Power Unit to deliver on-track reliability and performance.
- Build and validate numerical methods for calibration and application analysis to maximize performance and reliability.
- Interpret and report data through technical documentation and present insights to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Collaborate closely with all the technical teams to deliver world-class engineering solutions.
- Gain direct exposure to the 2027 Formula 1 season and contribute to the future of Red Bull Powertrains.
Expected Knowledge, Experience & Attributes
- Knowledge and experience from at least one year of undergraduate study on either an engineering, mathematics, or physics degree course.
- A solid understanding of engineering principles and the ability to apply mathematical methods to solve real-world problems.
- Knowledge of Python, R, MATLAB, Simulink for system development and modelling.
- Experience in programming in C or C++ (preferred).
- Experience with handling and analyzing data from simulations or physical tests, and confidence in preparing high-quality technical documentation.
- Ability to break complex technical problems down to fundamental principles and understand the contributing physics.
- Ability to demonstrate a genuine passion for engineering through involvement in extra-curricular projects, previous placements, or work experience.
- Positive, can-do attitude and willingness to learn new skills.
- Ability to follow best practice and work on multiple tasks simultaneously.
- Excellent communication skills and experience working in a team environment.
The placement will be for 1 year, starting July 2027. To be considered for this Student Placement, please submit both your CV and a one-page Cover Letter as two separate documents.
