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
We are looking for a highly motivated entry-level software engineer to join us and build the next generation of data analysis tools and infrastructure for our aerodynamics engineering teams. Working within the Technology & Analysis Tools department from our Milton Keynes campus, our mission is to develop the tools and technology that enable our engineers to build the fastest and most extreme race cars on the planet. This is an opportunity to make a significant contribution to the technology that will define the way we interact with and exploit car data in the future of F1. We want to work with people who are excited by this challenge and have the talent to deliver performance to continue to win on the racetrack.
Your impact:
· Design, code and maintain the data infrastructure and user experience.
· Optimize code for performance, reliability and maintainability.
· Participate in architecture, design and code reviews, providing and accepting feedback.
· Work closely with a cross-functional team of software engineers and design engineers throughout the vehicle performance, aero performance, race engineering, reliability, car and power unit design departments.
You will:
· Be educated to degree level or equivalent within Computer Science, Software Engineering or a similar field.
· Possess a solid grasp of fundamental computer science concepts and have a track record of solving complex problems.
· Have some commercial experience in software development within C#, this could have been done during a student placement, internship or graduate programme.
· Be able to maintain our high standards for code quality, unit testing, maintainability and performance.
· Have excellent communication skills.
If you also have an interest in Formula 1, an understanding of WPF, experience with relational databases and a familiarity with containerisation orchestration frameworks like Kubernetes that would be a bonus!
Not only is this a fantastic role, but it is also a fantastic team to work with here at Red Bull Technology. 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, company contributed pension scheme, on site gym & fitness classes, free food, 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 the function of our grand prix cars.
