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 Materials & Analysis, you’ll need a strong mathematical background and learn how to apply your theoretical knowledge to a range of power unit specialisms. Within ICE and Hybrid Design, you’ll collaborate with team-mates in manufacturing and work across multiple specialist design teams on the development of base combustion engines and high-speed electrical drives to achieve flawless reliability and class-leading performance. The Analysis & Design rotation schedule offers the chance for you to see the whole product development cycle from concept sketches to detailed computational simulations that ensure performance and reliability targets are met first time. In the Design for Assembly specialism, you will tackle the challenge of designing tools, processes, and test rigs to safely, confidently, and reliably assemble the most advanced automotive power units anywhere in the world. Finally, in Design for Manufacture, you’ll need to blend the impressive capabilities of our world-class manufacturing facility with the stringent design requirements and standards necessary to continually produce the most competitive power units on the grid.
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.
