Here’s one for the budding engineer in you: Infiniti has opened applications for the Infiniti Performance Engineering Academy announced last year, a competition that gives students a chance to become Formula 1 engineers at Infiniti Red Bull Racing in the UK.
The programme will see the top three applicants working on a 12-month engineering assignment with the four-time world champions at their base in Milton Keynes. Apart from working with both the team as well as Infiniti’s road car engineers in nearby Cranfield, they will also receive free accommodation, a full salary, an Infiniti company car as well as a behind-the-scenes access to the British Grand Prix.
According to Andreas Sigl, Infiniti global director of Formula 1, the company will be looking for candidates that “really demonstrate they understand the potential of crossover between Formula 1 and road car technologies”, adding that the company is pushing for further success on road and track.
“What Infiniti is offering engineering students around the world is something quite unique,” said team principal Christian Horner. “We’re fully supportive of this fantastic global initiative and we look forward to working with the budding new talent that comes from it.”
Excited? Better hurry – candidates must upload their resume and submit a 500-word entry to the website before April 11. The programme is open to final year undergraduate engineering students in Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Mexico, Russia, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and the United States.

aiyah only students,
I guess that they need are looking for people who are really good in maths/physics/engineering.
Typical profile would be engineering students who can think and develop their own formulas based on what they learned . In other words, not to vomit out university formulas but apply certain formulas based on what they see in practical field test.
Passion in motorsports is a must !
I am in this field before changing to accountant for the rest of my life. What I can tell is…. this is good opportunity yet the winner is already exist. Yeah… you think main kabel only in Malaysia?
However, being engineer through my experience is…. the boss set the result. You will find trouble when the insufficient budget/cut cost hence unable to buy things for research. Dont ever simple judge… “ini kampeni banyak duit.” Use an obsolete/recycle things is must. At end end of the day, you probably heard this term when the F1 car is not perform. KEROSAKAN MEKANIKAL. This excuse always be a reason and the blame will run next to engineer. Later…. Fired!
Candidate from China? HK?
to work as engineer??
at Infiniti??
Please don’t make me laugh! hahahaha
Great opportunity. Nothing to lose and everything to gain. F1 engineer; man that sounds cool!!
It seems almost impossible for an Asian to be an F1 engineer, not to say a Malaysian.
