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 Powertrains have an exciting opportunity to join our technical office as we build on the team’s first Power Units, develop them into a race-ready package, and help deliver the most competitive car for the 2026 Formula One grid and beyond. Our open, dynamic, and inclusive environment ensures that everyone can make a valuable contribution. We are looking for a Reliability Engineer to identify root causes of failures, contain and resolve faults, and continually improve the design of the Power Unit to help deliver World Championship winning cars year on year.

If successful you will lead design failure mode and effect analysis, manage critical fault investigations, and enable rigorous data-led root cause analysis by employing industry-leading engineering practices. Red Bull Powertrains are committed to supporting the development of all successful applicants and your aptitude and willingness to learn is as important as specific skills or experience.

Based on our Milton Keynes campus, you will be responsible for managing, containing, and resolving faults while working closely with other teams across Red Bull Powertrains to deliver maximum performance and flawless reliability. To be successful you must be capable of reacting to changing priorities and working on multiple projects simultaneously.

Essential Knowledge and Experience for this Role

Mechanical Engineering degree or equivalent qualification

Knowledge and understanding of failure mode and effect analysis, root cause analysis, and their contribution to reliability of mechanical or electrical components or systems

Key Attributes of the Successful Candidate:

Passion for innovation, can-do attitude, and willingness to learn new skills

Ability to work on multiple tasks simultaneously, react to changing priorities, and meet tight deadlines

Excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong professional relationships across the Red Bull Technology Campus

We Love What We Do

At Red Bull, we believe that success isn’t just about the speed of our racing cars, it’s about the team behind every hard-earned victory. We take our work seriously – but not ourselves – knowing that the best results come when we trust, support, and challenge each other to continually push for better performance as one team. Each Grand Prix weekend is the culmination of the efforts of a multi-disciplinary team based at our Technology Campus in Milton Keynes, and Formula One is a true team sport where everyone can make a difference.

Our Benefits Package

Not only is this a fantastic Reliability Engineer position, but it is also a fantastic team to work with here at Red Bull Powertrains. A good salary is just the start, there are many other benefits too such as our bonus scheme, private health care cover, life assurance scheme, workplace nursery scheme, company contributed pension scheme, on site gym & fitness classes, free daily food allowance, and a cycle to work scheme; but above all, the job satisfaction doesn’t get any better than the feeling of making a real contribution to our championship winning grand prix cars.
