For almost 50 years, Williams F1 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.
About the Role:
We are looking for an Aero Concept Designer who thrives on challenge, thinks beyond the obvious, and wants to shape the future direction of a Formula 1 car
In the Aero Concept team, our mission is clear: reduce the time to aero intent As an Aero Concept Designer, you’ll help turn early aerodynamic ideas into high quality, FIA legal 3D surfacing models for both wind tunnel testing and full-scale development. Your work will directly influence how quickly aerodynamic intent becomes physical reality.
This is more than just creating a CAD surface. This is about accelerating performance through precision aero design.
You’ll work closely with Aerodynamicists, Model Designers and Composite designers to deliver fast, robust geometry and support a culture that values high standards, open thinking and continuous improvement.
Responsibilities include:
This role is about reducing friction in the development cycle. Cleaner geometry. Smarter processes. Faster iteration. Every surface you create should move us closer to lap time.
About You:
Technical skills matter, but mindset matters more You’re not someone who stops at option A. You’re already thinking about options B, C, D and beyond and building concepts that can be iterated, refined and improved.
You’re curious by default. You seek information widely, ask questions early, and use engineering first principles as your anchor. You’re process oriented, detail driven and motivated by doing things the right way, not just the fast way.
We’re looking for someone who is comfortable challenging standards when needed but is also able to get stuck in a deliver the job when it matters. You communicate clearly, collaborate with ease, and build strong relationships across disciplines.
Above all, you’re excited by the idea of shaping concepts that will be tested, challenged, developed and ultimately help drive the performance of a Formula One car.

Atlassian Williams F1 Team is an equal opportunity employer that values diversity and inclusion. We are happy to discuss reasonable job adjustments.
Atlassian Williams Racing is one of the world’s leading Formula One teams. It exists purely to race in the top echelon of motor racing, where it’s been winning Grands Prix for more than three decades.
The Williams name has been synonymous with top-level motorsport since the 1960s. After running teams on the sport’s nursery slopes, team patron Frank Williams founded Frank Williams (Racing Cars) in 1966 and he entered F1 in 1969 with his friend Piers Courage behind the wheel.
Frank quickly earned a reputation as one of the industry’s more determined individuals and after selling his controlling interest in his original team, he established Williams Grand Prix Engineering with British engineer Patrick Head in 1977. They built their first car, the FW06, the following year and the team immediately went from strength-to-strength. Atlassian Williams Racing is currently the third most successful team on the grid.
