Graduate – Motor Control

At Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains, we challenge and develop our graduates from day one. Through a structured rotation plan, you will gain hands-on experience across multiple engineering disciplines — working on cutting-edge projects that span Formula 1 and the revolutionary Mercedes-AMG ONE hypercar.

You will collaborate with world-leading engineers, tackling complex technical challenges and driving innovation in electric powertrains and control systems.

Your Role

As a Graduate Engineer, you will design and implement control algorithms and supporting functionality for electric machines, develop calibrations to maximise performance, and support both virtual and physical testing.

Depending on your skills and project needs, you may rotate through some of the following areas:

• Calibration & Controls
  Develop and deliver control system and calibration innovations that optimise energy flow, maximise performance, and enhance driveability for both qualifying and race conditions.
• Mechatronics & Chassis Engineering
  Design and integrate power unit and chassis systems, contributing to concept development and ERS pack (electronic and mechanical components) optimisation.
• Test Engineering
  Engineer test rigs and experiments that accurately replicate race conditions. Validate simulations by pushing power unit components and systems to their absolute limits.
• Advanced Technology
  Contribute to our mission of ensuring Mercedes leads in electric drive technology, driving advancements in performance, efficiency, and sustainability.

Why Join Us

You will work in our state-of-the-art Technology Centre, where innovation meets performance. Here, your ideas move from concept to racetrack — powering both F1 cars and high-performance road vehicles.

We also support your journey toward Chartered Engineer (CEng) status with the IET, assigning you a dedicated mentor to guide your technical and professional development.

Essential qualifications and attributes:

• A minimum 2:1 degree in Electrical / Electronic Engineering or a closely related discipline
• Strong academic background (including Maths and Science at A Level or equivalent)
• Solid understanding of engineering first principles
• Knowledge of control theory and electric machine algorithms
• Practical, hands-on experience to complement your academic learning
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills
• Self-motivation, adaptability, and creativity
• The courage to challenge, and the openness to be challenged
