Our Student Placement Programme is designed to give you more than just work experience – it’s your first step into the fast-paced world of Formula One®.
During your time with us, you will:
This is an opportunity to develop, challenge yourself, and contribute to something extraordinary. If you share our racer’s spirit and want to write the next chapter in Aston Martin Aramco’s history, join us – where every team member plays a crucial role in our success, and your growth is as important as our achievements.
We’re offering placements across several engineering areas. Whichever team you join, you’ll contribute to real projects that shape the performance of our Formula One® cars. Within your application, you’ll be asked to select your top three preferred roles from this advert, and your top one favourite.
Work on the analysis of simulation data to understand and improve car behaviour. You’ll support projects across multiple groups, helping to refine methodologies and develop insights that influence car development.
From developing new tools and methodologies to running simulation studies and physical rig tests, we tackle a broad range of engineering challenges in the development of our Formula 1 car. Working closely with engineers across the team, we use simulation, data analysis and testing to understand how the car behaves, explore new ideas, validate our models and guide the development of current and future car concepts. For a placement student, this is an opportunity to work on real F1 performance challenges across a diverse range of activities. You will develop practical engineering, simulation and analytical skills, while seeing first-hand how ideas are taken from concept through simulation and physical testing to influence the design and performance of a Formula 1 car.
Support the optimisation of car setup by collating inputs from across performance engineering groups. You’ll help Mission Control and Trackside Performance make data-driven decisions during test and race events, while also contributing to tool and method development.
Apply F1 simulation and modelling methodologies to projects beyond Formula One®, from other motorsport categories to automotive industries. You’ll help develop advanced tools and methods to guide car performance, translate ideas into working concepts using simulation and rig testing, and contribute to growing AMPT’s vehicle dynamics capability. This role is ideal if you’re curious about how F1 performance optimisation can be applied to a wider engineering landscape.
Work at the intersection of aerodynamics and software by supporting the tools and processes that drive performance engineering. You’ll contribute to projects across the full development lifecycle, from requirements capture to delivery, and collaborate with engineers to develop high-quality, efficient solutions. This is a fast-paced, hands-on role where your coding and problem-solving skills will directly influence car performance.
Play an integral role in supporting race and test events, helping to inform decisions that directly influence car performance on track. Working closely with strategists and engineers, you'll support live operations from Mission Control, contribute to the development of analysis tools and processes, and produce pre-event and post-event reporting and insights for the wider team. You'll also undertake data-driven projects, either independently or collaboratively, using analysis to support clear, informed decision-making and identify opportunities to enhance team performance. This is a fast-paced and dynamic role where you'll contribute to the continuous improvement of the tools, processes and methodologies that help deliver competitive advantage.
We’re looking for passionate, curious and committed students who share our racer’s spirit. You should be:
You’ll have the chance to develop professionally and personally in a unique environment, with:
At Aston Martin Aramco we’re not just looking for placements – we’re looking for future innovators. If you’re ready to challenge yourself, learn from the best, and be part of a team driven by passion and performance, we’d love to hear from you.
We welcome applications from candidates within the UK and overseas, and visa sponsorship can be provided where required.
We are committed to making sure our selection methods are fair and inclusive. If you would like to request reasonable adjustments as part of your application, you’ll have the opportunity to let us know during the process.
Investing in your career is paramount. We promote professional and personal development through a provision of learning opportunities and work with you to shape your career and realise your full potential.
