Job DescriptionAre you ready to make your mark at the forefront of Formula 1 innovation? We are looking for a Senior Tyre Science Engineer to take the wheel and lead the charge in one of the most critical and exciting areas of motorsport and vehicle dynamics: Tyre Science.
The Tyre Science Group are responsible for analysing, understanding and quantifying tyre behaviour, capturing them in models, simulations and optimisation tools.
Why This Role Matters:
The connection between car and track is where races are won or lost. As our Senior Tyre Science Engineer, you'll delve into the multi-domain science of tyres, developing computationally efficient tyre models and tools that enable us to truly understand and optimise the tyres.
You’ll be critical to the identification of operational, design, and setup improvements to maximise tyre performance, and parameterising tyre models to ensure good correlation with reality.
The result? Unlocked performance secrets that make all the difference on the grid. From influencing setup and strategy to enhancing vehicle dynamics, your contributions will drive the team forward, lap by lap.
Your Mission:
- Master the margins: Lead the development and application of tyre models that give Williams Racing a competitive edge, helping us refine how our cars interact with the track.
- Collaborate across teams: Work with simulation, vehicle dynamics, and tyre performance engineers to create seamless integration between tyre behaviour and overall car performance.
- Influence strategy: As a Senior in the group, you’ll provide critical insights into tyre science that inform setup decisions, making your work a cornerstone of on-track success and future car development.
- Push the boundaries: Investigate tyre degradation, wear, and thermal dynamics to maximise performance under ever-changing race conditions.
- Inspire innovation: Drive technical projects and mentor team members, ensuring the Vehicle Dynamics department remains at the forefront of motorsport engineering.
What We’re Looking For:
Here’s what you’ll need to succeed:
- A strong academic background in Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline.
- Proven expertise in simulation and tyre model development, with significant hands-on experience.
- Ability to plan and deliver simulation capability development projects and strategies effectively.
- Advanced programming and analytical skills (MATLAB, Python, or C++).
- Exceptional ability to translate data into actionable performance insights.
Bonus points for:
- Prior experience in Formula 1 or high-performance motorsport.
- Understanding of car setup and its interplay with tyre behaviour.
- Passion for pushing the limits of what's possible in tyre science and vehicle dynamics.
Ready to Join the Team?
This isn’t just another engineering job—it’s a chance to lead, innovate, and shape the future of tyre science in Formula 1. If you’re ready to bring your expertise, creativity, and passion to Williams Racing, we want to hear from you.
