Red Bull Advanced Technologies Limited
Milton Keynes, England, United Kingdom

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

Red Bull Advanced Technologies (RBAT) is a dynamic hub of innovation, consistently pushing the boundaries across land, sea, and air by drawing on Formula One expertise and precision. Our project portfolio is unparalleled. Beyond the groundbreaking RB17 Hypercar and the Red Bull-commissioned submarine, we actively partner with the KTM Moto GP Team and much more.

 

Red Bull Advanced Technologies are constantly elevating performance to new heights, and the recently announced RB17 two-seat Hypercar is set to be the ultimate on-track driving experience pushing design and technical boundaries far beyond what has previously been imagined.

 

We are looking for a Lead Engineer to join our Test Team.

 

Key Responsibilities of the Lead Engineer:  

  • Managing and completion of the testing and maintenance of a RB17 test car through the test and validation phase.
  • Single point of contact for the operation of the car to both internal and external requests.
  • Responsible for regular reporting of car performance, schedule and issues.
  • Working with the No.1 Mechanic to ensure the safe operation of the test team and test car.
  • Scheduling and completion of car maintenance according to the maintenance schedule and the upcoming test schedule.
  • Defining test venues, facilities, resource, parts and team travel required to achieve the test and validation schedule.
  • Scheduling of car updates according to latest engineering releases, parts availability and upcoming test plans.
  • Ensuring data and results from car testing are recorded and shared to meet engineering and performance deadlines.
  • Ensuring car issues are recorded and shared robustly to ensure car safety and test time are protected.
  • Responsible for the Health and Safety of the test team, both planning pre-event and compliance during event.
  • Lead the test team to meet deadlines, including overtime if needed.

 

Vehicle Locations:

  • Conduct overseas testing in southern Europe (Spain, France, Italy) due to climate and venue-specific needs.
  • Perform UK testing and maintenance near Milton Keynes.
  • Typical test schedule: Mon-Fri, with occasional weekend work and multi-week travel abroad.
  • Willingness to work overtime and weekends.
  • Passport and ability to travel freely in Europe.

At Red Bull Advanced Technologies we offer more than just a job. Beyond competitive salaries, our comprehensive benefits package includes private health care, life assurance, and a company-contributed pension scheme. You’ll also enjoy perks like an on-site gym, fitness classes, daily food allowance, free barista style hot drinks, and of course, lots of Red Bull to keep you firing on all cylinders!
