About Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains

Mercedes-Benz has been setting the standard in racing for over 100 years. At Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains we work tirelessly to continue the proud history of the legendary Silver Arrows by delivering pioneering innovations to the race track with every development of our Triple World Championship winning Hybrid Power Unit. In addition to Formula 1, we are also leading the transfer of state-of-the-art Formula 1 technology into the revolutionary Mercedes AMG Road Car “Project One”.

We have a number of exciting opportunities for enthusiastic, innovative and tenacious undergraduates to join our World Championship winning team at our state of the art Technology Centre in Brixworth, Northamptonshire.

You will have the opportunity to experience a rotation within our highly dedicated quality inspection team, to develop a broader knowledge of quality principles, all whilst working on real engines components within tight deadlines.

Finally, you will gain Quality Systems and ISO 9001 knowledge, working in a high performance environment, and you will have the autonomy to actively contribute to your team, suggesting new methods of working or challenging existing methods if other options are available.
