Company Description
For almost 50 years, Williams has been at the forefront of one of the fastest sports on the planet, being one of the top three most successful teams in history competing in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. With an almost unrivalled heritage of engineering and racing F1 cars and unforgettable eras that demonstrate it is a force to be reckoned with, the British squad boasts 16 F1 World Championship titles to its name.
Since its foundation in 1977 by the eminent, late Sir Frank Williams and engineering pioneer Sir Patrick Head, the team has won nine Constructors’ Championships, in association with Cosworth, Honda and Renault. Its roll call of drivers is legendary, with its seven Drivers’ Championship trophies being lifted by true icons of the sport: Alan Jones, Keke Rosberg, Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve. The team has made history before and is out to make it again with a long-term mission to evolve and return to the front of the grid.
Job Description
THE ROLE
The Aerodynamic AI Engineer is part of a dedicated team leveraging data and artificial intelligence to enhance aerodynamic development, performance analysis, and operational efficiency within the Aerodynamics department. Reporting to the Lead AI Engineer, you will work on specialist projects that bridge aerodynamic engineering and AI developing advanced machine learning models, surrogate models, and automated geometry tools that give Williams Racing a competitive edge in vehicle development.
