Data Processing Software Engineer

We are currently looking to recruit a motivated and skilled Data Processing Software Engineer to join our world-class Vehicle Engineering team.

In this factory-based role, the successful candidate will contribute towards the development of bespoke software applications that are used during race events to analyse car telemetry data in real time, to reliably provide additional high quality data that is vital for the analysis of vehicle performance. The projects can be varied in application and languages, including MATLAB and C# apps, .NET libraries, ECU code, interfacing with hardware/databases, and automated sensor data sanitisation algorithms.

The successful candidate will be proficient in MATLAB, Simulink or C# with a strong background in programming/software engineering evident through their experience in related previous roles, projects or placements.

As a Data Processing Software Engineer you will:

• Run and monitor our data processing software using live telemetry. 
• Support our race team from Mission Control in Grove on a rotational basis and react quickly to sensor or data issues when the car is on track. 
• Continually search for opportunities for improvement or automation. 
• Develop your software engineering skills with support from the team. 

• Collaborate with other departments to capture data requirements, for example to aid design or performance analysis, and gather feedback for continuous development. 

Our ideal candidate is someone who is:

• Degree level qualified in a STEM field that involves software development such as Computer Science, Maths, Physics or Engineering.   

• Able to debug software under pressure.  
• Comfortable using Git source control and writing clear code documentation.

• A team player with an openminded, responsible, and constructive attitude.

• Well organised with the ability to clearly prioritise tasks and deliver to agreed deadlines.

They may also have experience in:

• Advanced programming techniques such as parallelisation, object-oriented programming, profiling, or GUI design.
• Other software and systems such as Python, SQL, or streaming services.
• McLaren Applied Technologies products such as ATLAS, vTAG, or ATLAS Data Server.  
• Signal processing such as frequency analysis, outlier detection, or predictive models.
• Electronic sensors, control systems, or ECUs/microcontrollers

For almost 50 years, Williams Racing 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.
