Aerodynamics Concept Designer

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’llhelp turn early aerodynamic ideas into high quality, FIAlegal 3D surfacing models
for bothwind tunneltestingand full-scale development.

Your work will directly influence how quickly aerodynamic intent becomes physical reality.

This is more thanjust creating a CAD surface. This is about accelerating performance through precisionaero design.

You’llwork closely with Aerodynamicists,Model Designer sand Composite designers to deliver fast, robust geometry and support a culture that values high standards, openthinkingand continuous improvement.

• Supporting the creation and delivery of high-quality concept surface models within specific aero development groups using CAD software.
• Producing robust, FIA-legal geometry that is fit for purpose and ready for Wind Tunnel andFull-Scale release.
• Work closely with Aerodynamicists, Model Designersandother design teams to ensure efficient implementation of aero projects.
• Supporting the WSR process when required, ensuring accurate, regulation-compliant geometry.
• Play an active role in surfacing reviews and cross-functional discussions.
• Identify opportunities to improve design practices,processes and workflows.

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.

Technical skills matter,but mindset matters more
.You’renot someone who stops atoption

A.You’realready thinking about options B, C, D and beyondandbuilding 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’reprocess oriented, detail driven and motivated by doing things the right way, not just the fast way.

We’relooking for someone who is comfortable challenging standards when neededbut is also able to get stuck in a deliver the job when it matters.

You communicate clearly, collaborate with ease,andbuildstrong relationships across disciplines.

Above all, you’reexcited by the idea of shaping concepts that will be tested, challenged, developed and ultimately help drive the performance of a Formula One car.

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.
