"Don't limit your challenges, Challenge your limits"

Need a real challenge? The AMZ racing team is going all out in building an electric race car that can beat the best among the best! Come join our team to build AMZ's next generation formula student vehicle, and take a deep dive into the fascinating technology that makes our open-wheeler reach levels beyond your imagination.

How may I participate?

We mainly offer four different kinds of participations (all based in Zürich/Dübendorf, Switzerland):

Focus Student

Students from ETH Zurich who are enrolled in BSc Mechanical Engineering or BSc Electrical Engineering, and students from HSLU Lucerne enrolled in BSc Electrical Engineering, may choose to join our team as full-time members for one year, from September to August, during their third year of studies as part of the focus project. At the end of the academic year, successful participation will be rewarded with 20 ECTS.

Driverless Core Member

In our driverless team, students from fields such as Computer Science, Data Science, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering and Robotics, Systems, and Control work part-time for one semester, with the workload shifted towards the second (spring) semester where they work full-time until the events in August.

Freelancer

To enable more students to join us, we also offer Freelancer positions with enhanced flexibility. To become a Freelancer, you only need to be enrolled as a student at one of the Swiss universities, ETHZ/EPFL, or universities of applied sciences. All majors are emphatically welcome, as are both bachelor's and master's students. You can tell us how much you are willing to work per week, and we will try to find or create a suitable work package for you.

Thesis Student

Additionally, it is also possible to write a bachelor's, semester, or master's thesis with AMZ. You are welcome to approach us either with a specific idea or just your interest. Please note that you will need to independently arrange for a supervising professor.

How to apply?

General Info

Every member at AMZ works without financial compensation; we are driven by our passion for motorsport and the fascinating world of engineering. Here, you will learn what couldn't be taught in traditional settings and achieve what you once thought impossible.

AMZ offers a great deal of flexibility. For example, even if your primary focus is on software, you have the opportunity to work with carbon materials, as the chassis module always welcomes help during the manufacturing stage. This flexibility extends to your role, allowing you to take on crucial tasks right from your first year with us. Depending on your interests, you may also handle additional responsibilities. If you are concerned about lacking the skills to join us, rest assured that many of us started without much prior knowledge. At AMZ, it’s not just about building cars; it’s also about acquiring skills that extend far beyond the traditional lecture hall setting.

This is why motivation is a crucial criterion in our application process.
