Software and Controls Placement

As a team, we pride ourselves on challenging and developing our Placement with a rotation plan that will provide exposure to a breadth of engineering across a range of exciting and challenging projects spanning Formula 1 and Advanced Technology. During your time on the Placement scheme, dependent on your skills, you may have time in some of the following departments;

Formula One

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

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

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

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

• 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

Advanced Technology

In Advanced Technology, our mission is to help Mercedes be the technology leader in electric drives, in terms of performance, efficiency and sustainability.

• Advanced Technology Software; Define and deliver calibration and control

system innovations that deliver best performance, optimal energy deployment and deliver outstanding drivability.

What can we offer you?

We offer the opportunity to work in a state of the art Technology centre, being involved in exciting technological challenges alongside some of the world’s best engineers. You will get the opportunity to engineer solutions in world class facilities and, having been thoroughly proven at our Technology Centre. You will be able to see your ideas raced in F1, or powering pioneering road going Mercedes EV prototypes such as the EQXX. You will also have the opportunity to work towards chartered status with the IET and will be
