Formula One racing team engineering aerodynamics, electronics, and vehicle dynamics
Alpine F1 operates a 501–1,000-person racing organization competing in the FIA Formula One World Championship, headquartered in Enstone, Oxfordshire. The tech stack reveals a simulation-heavy engineering culture: MATLAB, Simulink, CATIA, and Dassault Systèmes dominate, paired with Linux compute infrastructure (Kubernetes, Slurm, GPU, InfiniBand) for high-performance vehicle modeling. Current hiring velocity is accelerating, with 16 active engineering roles spanning aerodynamics, electronics, and thermal-mechanical simulation—suggesting aggressive development cycles ahead of race seasons.

Alpine F1 is a Formula One constructor and competitor in the FIA World Championship, owned by the Benetton Family since 1986 and rebranded under the Alpine marque following Renault's acquisition in 2000. The team fields two drivers—Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto—and operates from its Enstone facility where it has been based since 1992. The organization has won the Drivers' World Championship four times (1994, 1995, 2005, 2006) and the Constructors' Championship three times (1995, 2005, 2006). Operations span vehicle design, aerodynamic development, electronics integration, manufacturing, and race engineering, with documented pain points around production deadlines, simulator robustness, and PLM process efficiency.
Core tools include MATLAB, Simulink, CATIA, and Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE for design and simulation. Compute infrastructure runs on Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, Linux (Ubuntu/Rocky), GPU, Slurm, and InfiniBand for high-performance modeling.
Current projects include aerodynamic development, next-generation electronics, on-car hardware design, tyre model development, suspension systems, and regression testing for upgrade deployments.
