As a team we pride ourselves on challenging and developing our graduates 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
Advanced Technology In Advanced Technology, our mission is to help Mercedes & AMG be the technology leader in electric drives, in terms of performance, efficiency and sustainability.
Mechanical Engineering: You can be responsible for the design of components and/or systems from concept, through prove-out that enhance the future performance, efficiency and sustainability of fully electric prototype powertrains. Performance Calibration and Controls: Define and deliver calibration and control system innovations that deliver best performance, optimal energy deployment and deliver outstanding drivability. Systems Engineering: Model the powertrain to assist in its definition and optimization in areas that will yield an improvement in efficiency, performance or customer satisfaction. Facilitate the validation of the product on our test facilities.
