Sidewinder asked:


I’m currently starting my master’s degree in mechanical engineering. My career aspiration is to be an automotive powertrain (engine) development engineer for a constructor (any one of them) in formula 1? How good an engineer will one have to be and what requisite qualifications/experience/credentials should one have to be able to make it to this job.

    I’m guessing you wont be able to start in F1. It is after all the Highest class of racing/research&development that exists in the automotive world. I’d be forced to think that you would need a decade or more in the racing world before even being considered for such a position. Maybe try Nascar, I know it sucks, but it is alot more plausible as a first step than F1.
