Mechanical Engineering Placement

As a team we pride ourselves on challenging and developing our placement with a rotation plan which will provide exposure to a breadth of engineering across a range of exciting and challenging projects including Formula 1, and Advanced Technology. Rotating within HPP’s Engineering Team you will have the potential

to experience engineering from many perspectives

Formula One

• Thermofluids Engineering: Define and deliver performance concepts that ensure

the PU has the highest crank power and maximum thermal efficiency in Qualifying & Race

• Calibration and Controls: Define and deliver calibration and control system

innovations that optimize energy flows to achieve the fastest Qualifying & Race laps and deliver outstanding driveability

• Laptime Simulation and Analysis: Model the PU to high resolution, whilst

simulating it in the race environment to assist in the definition, optimisation and delivery of performance across a race weekend

• Mechanical Engineering: every ICE component is owned through its full

lifecycle by a Mechanical Engineer. You can be responsible for the design of components and/or systems from concept, through prove-out and into the Silver Arrows race car

• Mechatronics and Chassis Engineering: designing new concepts, managing the

integration of the Powerunit with the chassis, developing the ERS pack (electronic and mechanical components)

• Product Validation: determine the health and performance of every Power Unit.

Work to prove-out the maximum operating envelope of the Power Unit to set out limits for racing. Data analysis to characterise the Power Unit and track it’s duty real-time

• Test Engineering: strive to recreate the racetrack and race-car environment

to make each experiment as representative as possible. Engineer test rigs to push the components and systems of the Power Unit to their absolute limit and validate the underpinning simulations
