Engineering Student Placements

Composite Design

Composite Design is one of the most central departments in the design of our F1 cars. Taking ideas and surfaces from Aerodynamics, then creating functional, structurally sound components that can endure the strain of race conditions. This department covers components across the whole car and provides opportunities to work on everything from Wings and Bodywork to Chassis and Internals. We work alongside our Structures and Manufacturing departments to continuously improve performance while implementing weight reduction strategies to get the best out of our work. With a hands-on approach to design and manufacturing, we are responsible for Composite components from cradle to grave giving a rounded experience of the F1 design cycle.

Garage Equipment Design

Work on the design of bespoke garage and pit equipment to support car build and race operations. You’ll turn requests from the race team into working solutions, from concepts through to testing and delivery. This is a creative, hands-on role where you’ll see your work used directly in race and test events.

Mechanical Design

Join the mechanical design team to create components and systems for the race car, from early concepts through to detailed CAD and manufacture. The department is responsible for a large range of subsystems including suspension, uprights, steering, brakes and driver controls. You’ll support the build, testing, and development of your designs, applying practical solutions to real engineering challenges. This role gives you insight into the full design cycle in Formula One®.

AMPT Mechanical Design (Aston Martin Performance Technologies)

Apply F1 design principles to projects beyond motorsport, working on advanced mechanical and composite components. You’ll design and develop parts, tooling and fixtures while exploring new materials and processes. This role is perfect if you want to broaden your experience and see how F1 innovation translates into other industries.

Power Unit Installation

Power Unit Installation is responsible for integrating the Honda power unit into the car including design and packaging of the cooling system, fuel system, exhausts, and other associated hardware. The group collaborates closely with Honda, Aero, and other design departments to optimise the systems for both performance and reliability. You’ll support the design process from concept to manufacture, working on practical solutions for integration challenges in a fast-paced and driven environment. You will be well-suited to this role if you are a motivated, passionate, and curious individual who enjoys working in a team-environment.

Test & Development

Be part of the team that validates components and systems through testing. You’ll help design test rigs, support assembly and execution, and analyse results to improve reliability and performance. This role is highly hands-on and ideal for students who enjoy seeing theory put into practice.

Electronics

Electronics are responsible across the full product lifecycle, from requirements capture and circuit design through to prototyping, PCB layout, calibration and testing, while working on sensor interfaces, embedded systems, data acquisition solutions, power supplies. You’ll support the development of HIL testers, driver simulators and calibration rigs as well as assist with harness design, sensor selection and production support, using a range of specialist test equipment including oscilloscopes, signal generators and logic analysers. Alongside this, you'll help drive continuous improvement in design processes, engineering tools and quality standards.
