Job description

We're seeking a Graduate Systems Simulations Engineer to complement the skill set within the department with multi‑body modelling and optimisation skills.

As a Systems Simulations graduate, you will support the development of multi‑physics system models, covering areas such as mechanical, thermal, and fluid dynamics. Using tools like Python, MATLAB, Simulink, SimScape and Dymola you will help build and run simulations to solve engineering problems. This role offers the chance to learn from experienced engineers, gain hands‑on experience with co‑simulation techniques, and grow into a specialist in system‑level modelling and optimisation.

Reporting to a principal systems simulation engineer you will be responsible for tasks which could include:

• Simulation and lap‑time optimisation of a variety of car components to boost performance and efficiency. These systems could be:
• Suspension systems
• Cooling system
• Brake system
• Multibody mechanical components
• Fuel System
• Analysis of existing components to aid understanding or improve design.
• Analysis of certain aspects of car performance to help improve.
• Liaise with other departments to assist in the design process

Company Description

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 Williams Racing.

Atlassian Williams Racing – Shape our team’s next chapter:

For nearly 50 years, Williams Racing 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.

We want people who live our values - innovation, teamwork, resilience, excellence, and accountability to create the winning formula that drives Williams Racing back to the top.

Early Careers:

At Atlassian Williams Racing, our two-year Graduate Programme throws you into real motorsport from day one. Our rotational routes offer broad, cross‑team exposure, or you can go deep as a subject‑matter expert, specialising in one area. Expect live projects, a leadership speaker series, and wrap‑around support from our Early Careers team and your manager. Join a tight‑knitted cohort, build a network across the business, and fast‑track your skills into impact. This could be your launchpad to become one of our future leaders.

Qualifications

• Completed a degree in a relevant subject (e.g. Mechanical, Aerospace, Computational Engineering)
• Strong aptitude for coding and simulation tools (essential)
• Thrive in a collaborative, team-oriented environment
• Previous experience in the simulation and optimisation of mechanical/multibody systems.
• Good knowledge/understanding of vehicle/race car systems.
• Extensive knowledge of MathWorks MATLAB and Python tools is required.
• Knowledge of Dymola or an alternative physical modelling environment would be desirable.
