History doesn’t repeat itself. It’s rebuilt - one breakthrough at a time. Be part of the team redefining performance and writing the next winning chapter for Atlassian Williams F1 Team.

Atlassian Williams F1 Team – Shape our team's next chapter:

For nearly 50 years, Williams F1 Team has pushed the limits of speed and innovation. As one of the most successful teams in F1 history, with 16 World Championships and a legacy shaped by legends like Sir Frank Williams and Nigel Mansell, we’re now on a bold mission to reclaim our place at the front and win multiple championships again.

Our People Promise:

Join a high-performance team where ambition and our people promise guide everything we do. In a fast-paced, challenging environment, your work directly shapes our winning formula. Collaborate with the brightest minds in motorsport, building on our rich heritage and pushing the boundaries of speed and innovation. We want people who live our values - innovation, teamwork, resilience, excellence, and accountability to create the winning formula that drives Williams F1 Team back to the top.

At Atlassian Williams F1 Team, our Industrial Placement gives ambitious students 12 months inside Formula 1. You’ll take on real responsibility with projects that shape the future car and our business. Grow with a cohort from day one, then head back to university with experience you can apply immediately. Join a high-performance team, push boundaries, make an impact.

The Systems Simulation team centralises how we model and optimise our systems - from cooling, hydraulics and gearboxes to suspension kinematics and multi-body dynamics. By embedding first-principles engineering at the core of our work, Systems Simulations deliver accurate, consistent, and innovative simulations that drive performance and reliability. This unified approach accelerates development, validates bold ideas, and helps push the limits of innovation before a single component is built.

In this placement, you’ll help simulate car systems such as hydraulics, cooling, brakes and multi-body mechanical components, then use those simulations to understand and improve real designs. You’ll work alongside other engineering teams throughout, seeing your models feed directly into decisions on the car.

• Support simulation of car systems including hydraulics, cooling, brakes and multi-body mechanical components
• Support testing of car systems including hydraulics, cooling, brakes and multi-body mechanical components
• Analyse existing components to build understanding and inform design improvements
• Run functional and performance calculations that support your simulations
• Work with design, vehicle science, electronics and production teams, drawing on teamwork to keep the design process moving

What we are looking for:

• Studying towards a degree in Mechanical, Automotive, Aerospace, Marine or a related engineering discipline
• Some knowledge of MATLAB or Python and Simulink, Dymola, or other 1D simulation software is useful, but full training is provided
• Strong problem solving skills and an innovative engineering mindset
