Industrial Placement (2026-2027) - Motorsport Electrical Engineer

fmgl • Kidlington, England, United Kingdom • 1d ago

Opportunity

We create and showcase advanced decarbonisation technologies using the speed, innovation and efficiency of Motorsport – accelerating progress for our partners on and off the racetrack.

The team develops high-performance products for use across the world’s leading electrified racing series. This placement role sits within the Electrical Engineering team, focusing on the development of Battery Management Systems (BMS) and associated electrical systems.

The role will involve following established engineering design processes, developing electrical harnesses and, where required, creating schematics and harnesses using Capital Harness. You will also contribute to the selection and integration of electrical components, systems, and product designs.

As your designs are deployed into real-world applications, you will be expected to plan, execute, and report on system validation activities, supporting both testing and race operations. You will work alongside experienced engineers on live projects at the factory and trackside, with opportunities to support systems in field applications.

While electrification forms the core of our work, we are fundamentally a racing organisation and operate across complete vehicle systems. As such, a strong understanding of race car electrical design and vehicle integration would be highly advantageous.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with highly skilled experienced engineering professionals - the more questions you ask the more you will gain from your experience. Former industrial placements have been successful in obtaining graduate roles on completion of their degree, not only returning to our team but also working at the highest levels in motorsport.
