The Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains
Graduate Scheme fulfilled my lifelong dream to work in
Formula One; it has helped me to grow and develop both
personally and as an engineer.

At Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains we are responsible for the design, manufacture and testing of the
highly successful Formula 1 racing hybrid power units used by the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 team. We are
also proud to supply power units to the Sahara Force India Formula 1, Williams Martini Racing and McLaren teams.

Our student programmes offer you the opportunity to start your career with our race winning engineering team. We are
looking for talented, intelligent and committed people to join us at our state of the art Technology Centre in Brixworth,
Northamptonshire. Whether youre with us for a placement year or on our two year graduate programme, we offer you
the training, guidance and support you need to build on your studies and accelerate your development.

Our next student intake will be in Autumn 2015. To apply for a place on the scheme, please visit

CASE
STUDIES

I was involved from 2005-2009 as part of the University

of Manchester Formula Student team. I worked on
various parts of the car during my time on the team
including designing the chassis and suspension
geometry, getting involved with bodywork, the engine
and design reports and presentation events. I was
promoted to Team Leader in my fourth and final year on
the team.
My fondest memory of Formula Student was when
our 2009 car completed the endurance race. I can
still remember how hard the team had worked (many
sleepless nights!) and it was fantastic to see the car
finish. It was a great feeling of achievement that I
will never forget. Just being around so many keen
Engineers made the event that much more exciting.
The biggest challenge was the vast amount of work
the team had to do in the short duration of time we had
with limited experience, especially because Formula
Student was completely extra-curricular at Manchester.
The rule changes meant we had to start from pretty
much a clean sheet in my final year on the team.
PUJA KAPOOR Keeping motivated and thinking of what we wanted
the car to look like in the end is what kept us all going
DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER and I loved every minute of it. The team were brilliant
and we really helped each other out.
AT ROLLS-ROYCE
I have an endless list of what I learnt from doing
Formula Student. It provided me with the opportunity
to design parts from scratch enhancing my engineering
judgement, it helped me develop leadership and
project management skills, it increased my confidence
in presenting to a big group of people and gave me
a fantastic insight of what it might be like to work
in industry. Most of all it gave me the chance to do
something I am truly passionate about - race cars and
engineering.
I am currently working for Rolls-Royce as a
Development Engineer on the Trent 1000 project. Its
such an interesting job and its great to be around so
much innovation!

THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE WAS

THE VAST AMOUNT OF WORK
THE TEAM HAD TO DO IN THE
SHORT DURATION OF TIME WE
HAD.

10
 I actually took part in Formula Student four times
between 2005 and 2009, with my roles including team
manager, driver and technical director.
Even though Id competed in FS Class 1 in 2006 and
2007, I graduated and left the competition having
never completed the endurance event at FS. With the
opportunity of a postgraduate degree, I had a final
chance to enter in 2009.
My fondest memory was the relief and the
congratulations from the team as I pulled up in the
pits having completed the endurance test, which we
actually placed first in, and becoming the first ever UK
team to do so.
My biggest challenge was the management of so
many different people and characters, and trying to
get them all to work together to achieve the same goal
of a single car design. In one year it also required the
hard decision to radically restructure the team and
reduce the head count.
I learnt many things from FS, not least the broad
MIKE SEXTON technical knowledge that a practical engineering
project like this could provide. A significant lesson
MECHANICAL ANALYSIS ENGINEER was the importance of improvement and development
- each FS entry I worked on showed progression in
AT BAE SYSTEMS design and performance, and feedback received from
the static events was always fed into the subsequent
years work.
I also learned the value of testing and validation -
partly because I realised that I often should have done
more, and also because of the depth of understanding
that you could further gain about a part or system,
regardless of the fact that you may have spent the past
week designing it non-stop.
Even so, I left the competition knowing there was
more I would do if I had the opportunity. That to
me was one of the big attractions of FS. University
degrees are all about building knowledge and
understanding on a subject, and trying to develop you
as a person. I would recommend doing FS because,
as an engineer, I would never have had the chance to
work on such a practical project which encompasses
a huge variety of fields both in and away from
engineering, and couldnt have developed the skills I
have today. I also got to meet Damon Hill!
My current role is based around the testing and
analysis of products and systems, and I use many
of the simulation techniques that I applied to my
FS projects. I have also applied my experiences of
prototyping and systems design to produce test rigs
and product demonstrators. I have volunteered at
FS every year since my final entry in 2009. I have
I LEARNT MANY THINGS FROM also taken roles as a scrutineer and event captain
on various dynamic events, and I hope to use my

TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE THAT standards with which the event is run.

PROJECT LIKE THIS COULD
