Engineering Trainee - Manufacturing Engineering

At Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains we offer an Engineering Trainee – Manufacturing Engineering 12-month programme which will tap into your passion to manufacture and determination to win, giving you a real opportunity to contribute to our success story.

In Manufacturing we face the challenge of turning engineering designs into precision components in a fast-paced environment.

Our varied responsibilities include design of fixtures & tooling, defining the manufacturing process, programming machine tools, investigating new equipment, and processes, and refining existing production methods to improve quality, capacity or to reduce cost.

As a Manufacturing Trainee you’ll have the opportunity to experience the manufacturing cycle from concept (design) to manufactured item and develop innovative manufacturing solutions to complex engineering concepts while working on real engine components within challenging deadlines.

To do this you will;

• Have the autonomy to actively contribute to your team, suggesting new methods of working, challenging existing methods if other options are available
• Have the opportunity to learn and utilise your CAD skills, working with our designs and drawings
• Have the opportunity to learn and utilise your CAM skills, working to program components that will go racing
• Have time working with our highly skilled engineers to create solutions in order to deliver our F1 powertrains
• Have access to the latest technology that will stretch your capability, knowledge and skills

We offer the opportunity to work in a state of the art Research and Development Centre, being involved in exciting technological challenges alongside some of Formula 1’s best engineers, with the autonomy to engineer solutions from a clean sheet. You will also have the opportunity to work towards chartered status with the IMechE via our MPDS registered scheme and will be assigned a personal mentor who will support you throughout.
