Heritage Electronics Technician

Atlassian Williams F1 Heritage is responsible for preserving and running the Formula One cars that form our rich history, ensuring they continue to be seen and heard by fans around the world. As the third member of our Heritage Electronics Group, you will take ownership of wiring, testing and calibration activities, helping to increase capacity and enabling the group to diagnose and resolve issues more efficiently.

What you’ll be doing

• Manufacturing, testing and fitting wiring looms, including terminations and pin-to-pin testing.
• Testing and calibrating the sensors and electronics fitted to Heritage cars, and specifying new parts where nothing suitable exists.
• Diagnosing and repairing legacy systems, including Williams-developed hardware and software that went out of production decades ago.
• Managing stock and equipment for the electronics group, and supporting cars at events, working directly with the customers who own them.
• Building software and algorithms over time, taking on more of that work as your skills develop.
• Working with mechanics, designers and external harness manufacturers — much of this is one-off problem solving on cars with no current documentation and no spare parts shelf.

What you’ll need

• Qualification or ongoing qualification in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related technical discipline (e.g. NVQ Level 3, BTEC, College Diploma, Apprenticeship, or equivalent experience).
• Practical experience in electrical assembly, wiring, or electronics gained through education, placement, apprenticeship, or industry role.
• Basic understanding of electrical principles, harness construction, and electronic components.
• A confident manner with customers — at Heritage events you are the face of Williams. Willingness to travel to motorsport events as required.
