The Role

A new position has become available for a highly motivated and ambitious individual to join the Structural Analysis group within the Applied Science department of the Mercedes AMG F1 team.

This role will require an inherent fast learning aptitude and a high interest in exploring capabilities beyond the current boundaries of the Structural Analysis fields. With a strong academic background in mechanical engineering, the candidate will need to demonstrate their ability to work pro-actively and in a respectful manner within a group of highly skilled engineers.

Key Responsibilities

Reporting to the Head of Structural Analysis, your responsibilities will include:

  • Structural analysis of mechanical components and assemblies
  • Close collaboration with the rest of the Applied Science engineering team to ensure fully optimised designs achieving optimal performance and reliability
  • Capability prospection in simulation and analysis fields
  • Specification and documentation of test requests and stress reports

About You

As well as being a passionate, hardworking team player, the ideal candidate will possess:

  • Mechanical engineering degree (2:1 minimum grade) or similar qualification
  • Thorough understanding of FEA methods is essential
  • Core knowledge in fatigue and non-linear material behaviour is essential
  • Ability to perform hand calculation is required and proficiency in Excel/VB or Python would be an advantage
  • High interest in making the best from the fast development within the very dynamic digital world is desirable
  • Ambitious and talented engineer with a desire to advance their personal development
  • Excellent communicative and collaborative skills are essential

We are looking for engineers who have an open and curious mind, a creative approach to engineering problems and are keen to develop themselves further in a demanding team orientated role. Flexibility in hours and approach is required, along with a ‘can do’, ‘team-playing’ attitude and the ability to work to strict deadlines under minimal supervision.

We are interested in hearing from candidates who can join us immediately, as well as ambitious graduates who are set to complete their studies in 2027.

Benefits

When you put the effort in, we give it back. Start with a competitive salary, a generous joining bonus, add in a world-class wellbeing programme (including a free on-site gym), delicious, subsidised food, and private medical cover - all on our riverside campus powered by 100% renewable energy.

You’ll have everything you need to thrive both inside and outside of work.

Why Us

We believe that building a more inclusive and diverse culture helps us go faster and further. From recruitment and building our future talent pipeline to internal communications and leadership training, we’re building a team where everyone can thrive and contribute to our shared success.

Our aim is to attract, develop and retain exceptional people from all backgrounds, creating a workplace where all team members feel respected, supported and able to fulfil their potential.
