F1 engineering and manufacturing operations across aerodynamics, simulation, and vehicle development
Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team operates a 1,000+ person engineering and manufacturing organization split between Brackley and Brixworth. The tech stack—SAP, CATIA, PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, MATLAB, Abaqus, Hyperworks, Dymola—reflects a vertically integrated simulation and CAD-heavy workflow typical of competitive motorsport. Active hiring skews toward mid-level engineering roles, with current focus on simulation acceleration, surrogate modeling, and performance prediction systems, suggesting investment in computational infrastructure to compress design iteration cycles.
Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS competes as the works team of Mercedes-AMG in the FIA Formula One World Championship, operating two technology centers in the United Kingdom (Brackley and Brixworth). The organization designs, manufactures, and races competitive vehicles across a 20+ race global season. The team has won eight consecutive Constructors' Championships and multiple Drivers' Championships. Operations span mechanical design, composite manufacturing, applied science, and performance engineering, supported by enterprise resource planning (SAP) and specialized simulation and CAD tooling. Current organizational priorities center on lead-time reduction, planning accuracy, and accelerating simulation workflows to support competitive development cycles.
Core tools include SAP (enterprise planning), CATIA (CAD), PyTorch and TensorFlow (ML), MATLAB and Abaqus (simulation), Hyperworks (analysis), Docker and Kubernetes (infrastructure), and specialized motorsport software (Beckhoff, ATLAS, Dymola).
Active projects include simulation acceleration, surrogate modeling, performance prediction, mechanical and composite design for motorsport programs, and hardware-software solutions for driver-in-loop simulators. Pain points center on lead-time reduction and improving simulation capability.
