Test & Validation Engineering Technician

Every component on a Williams car earns its place on the grid through hours on the rig before it ever sees a track. Our Test and Validation team is behind that process, and we’re looking for an Engineering Technician ready to get hands-on with the equipment that makes it happen — from HiL transmission and VTT dyno to brake dyno, eight-post rig, and fuel, cooling and structural test facilities.

What you’ll be doing

• Providing skilled, practical support to Test Engineers across component and sub-assembly test activities on a wide range of rigs.
• Configuring and calibrating control software, data acquisition systems, instruments and actuators before every test.
• Carrying out routine maintenance of test rigs, spotting issues early and supporting pre-emptive maintenance.
• Upholding data analysis and reporting standards, and signing off work before release.
• Following predefined test procedures and ensuring every test is carried out safely.
• Writing and maintaining standard operating procedures, and supporting the development of Technicians and Apprentices.

What you’ll bring

• Extensive practical knowledge of vehicle and/or powertrain systems — assembly, operation, maintenance and repair.
• Hands-on experience preparing vehicle components and sub-systems for testing.
• A solid understanding of instrumentation and actuators, on-vehicle and in the test environment, including calibration best practice.
• Confidence operating test rigs, interpreting data and getting to root cause.
• Extensive experience in an R&D environment supporting vehicle or powertrain testing, ideally in Formula 1.
• Relevant technical qualifications to Level 5 (or Level 3 with strong vocational development to that level).
• Familiarity with tools such as Instron, Servotest, Cats3, MATLAB, HBM, Catman, Atlas, Mistras AE, GOM Aramis, NX, Team Centre or VBA is highly desirable.
