Formula One is a high-tech world of fast paced innovation and engineering excellence, and its industry leading standards are not just limited to the pit lane. Whilst Red Bull Technology designs, manufactures, assembles and develops a championship-winning Formula One car week on week, its sister business and high performance vehicle engineering division, Red Bull Advanced Technologies, is applying expert engineering, design, technology, simulation and production capabilities to other sectors.
From hot air balloons to bikes to boats, Red Bull Advanced Technologies takes the same tools, techniques and methods used in F1, the world’s fastest development cycle, to engineering challenges across land, sea and air, and at blistering pace.
Red Bull Advanced Technologies: We envision, conceptualise, create and deliver effective solutions.
Job Description
Red Bull Advanced Technologies (RBAT) is a dynamic hub of innovation, consistently pushing the boundaries across land, sea, and air. 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 collaborate with Alinghi Red Bull Racing in their America’s Cup campaign. Drawing on Formula One expertise and precision, we elevate the AC75 Racing Yacht and revolutionize Moto GP aerodynamics.
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 Group Leader to join our Structural Analysis group!
Key Accountabilities:

- Report checking, approval and process governance are key to the role.
- To personally undertake some analysis work, including finite element analysis of complex multi-material high-performance assemblies in minimal time frames.
Essential Competencies:
- Higher education in engineering, design or related discipline.
- Proficient and experienced in finite element analysis and optimisation of high-performance composite and metallic structures.
- Experience working in a competitive, fast-paced, engineering environment.
- Ability to have a flexible approach; defining suitable methodologies that comply with performance, safety, time and budget constraints.
