Senior Quality Engineer

For almost 50 years, Williams F1 Team 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. 

At Williams, pride in our history is the foundation of everything we do. Our legacy of engineering excellence isn’t just something we look back on, it’s what drives us forward, shaping every decision, every innovation, every challenge we take on.  

Today, our focus is firmly on the future. We are evolving, pushing boundaries, and building the capabilities that will define our next chapter. To support this journey, we’re looking for a Senior Quality Engineer to join our team, someone who understands that success isn’t ordinary, and neither is the path we’re on.

• Hosting Supervisor‑to‑Manager meetings, shaping quality strategy and guiding teams on initiatives that elevate their performance.
• Reducing non‑conforming parts and assemblies released from production and assembly.

• Coaching and advising Engineering, Production, and Assembly teams on best practice for fault resolution and NCR management.
• Acting as a technical mentor within the Quality function, supporting Quality Engineers through complex investigations.
• Promoting Williams Values & Behaviours and championing continuous improvement across all areas.

What You’ll Bring

• A broad understanding of quality, inspection and manufacturing operations.
• Hands-on experience with root cause analysis, problem solving and failure mode analysis.
• A degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent (BEng).
• Strong communication skills with the ability to inspire buy‑in at every level.
• A structured, organised approach and the resilience to perform under pressure.
• A positive, change-driven mindset aligned with our mission and values.

Why Williams?

Our ambition is fuelled by a hunger to return to the top. The work is tough, demanding and fast-paced but that’s exactly what defines us. We operate in one of the world’s most captivating and energetic sports, where no two days are the same and every moment matters.

If you want to be part of a team writing its next chapter one built on heritage, strengthened by challenge, and driven by a shared ambition to rise again then this is your place.
