Another Zimbabwean engineer Samantha Nyikadzino has joined the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 team as an Electronics Design engineer.
Nyikadzino follows Stephanie Travers who has worked as a trackside fluid engineer at Mercedes.
In a Twitter message Nyikadzino, now working with some of the world’s best engineers, designers, technicians, mechanics and executives, said: “Today was an awesome day. Started as a Design Engineer for @MercedesAMGF1 and I’m pretty geeked!(computer-related language for excited)
“Supporting a team from home and then ending up as one of their design engineers is something I haven’t found the words to correctly articulate yet but I’m so excited for this new adventure.”
Nyikadzino’s background in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics and Computer Science as well as acquired technical skills through experience working on schematic capture, PCB layout, BOM creation, geber and assembly file generation helped her to get the job.
