We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced Data Scientist to lead the Machine Learning and Data Science Team at Red Bull Technology and Red Bull Racing, tasked with contributing state-of-the-art Machine Learning techniques to improve overall car performance. You’ll be managing a small team of Data Scientists and have the opportunity to collaborate with software engineers and domain specialists in the various technical departments in the wider organisation.
Working within the Technology & Analysis Tools department from our Milton Keynes campus, our mission is to develop the technology that enables our engineers to design championship winning Formula 1 cars. This is a unique opportunity to make a significant contribution to technology that will define the way we exploit car performance in the future.
The impact you will have
* Lead the development of Machine Learning and Data Science tools that improve our understanding of vehicle performance and design
* Line-manage a team of Data Scientists, contributing to the growth and strategy of the team as well as overseeing recruitment
* Collaborate with senior members of Vehicle Performance, Aerodynamics, Vehicle Design and Power Unit departments to understand how Data Science can enhance existing practices and address challenging problems
* Work alongside a team of highly skilled software engineers to create the necessary infrastructure to productionise models
* Lead the introduction of state-of-art literature and research from the Machine Learning community into the team’s activities
* Present work with effective communication, writing and visualisation to a wide range of stakeholders
* Lead others in the wider Technology department by example with best practices in analysis, programming, and communication
What we look for
* You hold a postgraduate degree (e.g. MSc or PhD) in Mathematics, Statistics, or a similar quantitative field
* You have preferably 5 years industry experience as a data scientist (or the equivalent in a post-Doctoral/research position), and experience mentoring/managing other Data Scientists
* You are a technical expert and can successfully balance the demands of individually contributing to the team’s modelling assets whilst managing a team
* You have a track record of utilising a wide range of Machine Learning and Data Science techniques, as well as knowledge of the underlying mathematics of them, e.g. Bayesian Statistics, Deep Learning and Optimization
* Proficient in Python and experience with using popular Machine Learning frameworks/libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch
* Excellent communication skills and a track record of collaborating successfully with stakeholders from other disciplines
* A robust understanding of containerisation and orchestration frameworks like Docker and Kubernetes, as well as a track record of productionising models
Bonus points for
* Being interested in Formula 1 racing!
* Possessing an understanding of vehicle dynamics and aerodynamics
Not only is this a fantastic role, but it is also a fantastic team to work with here at Red Bull Technology.
