Job summary

Atlassian Williams F1 Team is seeking a Control Systems Engineer to join the Grove-based Controls group, working on gearbox and clutch systems. The role centers on the dyno, developing and calibrating control systems to reproduce track conditions and improve reliability.

You'll work with MATLAB/Simulink and Python to build simulations, calibrate the ECU code, and diagnose shift issues, collaborating with Vehicle Dynamics, Powertrain, Electronics, and Systems Simulation teams.

Qualifications

• Degree in electrical, control systems, automotive, mechanical or related engineering.
• At least 5 years in controls engineering, ideally in motorsport or high-performance automotive.
• Strong MATLAB/Simulink experience with confident programming and controls ability.
• Good understanding of embedded, real-time code that targets an ECU.
• Experience with transmission controls and dyno is preferred.

Responsibilities

• Calibrate and develop the gearbox and clutch control system, with a focus on reliable, repeatable gear shifts and clutch response.
• Analyse data from dyno and car running to find the root cause of shift performance and reliability issues, then apply what you learn in calibrations and control tuning.
• Learn, use and help develop the dyno control system, including integrating our vehicle models so the dyno reflects what happens on track.
• Build control simulations and the supporting tooling, mainly in MATLAB, Simulink and Python.
• Work within the standard ECU code and toolchain to get the best shift for each situation.
• Support troubleshooting on the dyno and the car, diagnosing issues quickly and working with colleagues across the business to fix them.
• Document designs, test protocols and results so that everything is accurate and traceable.
