Graduate - Heritage Systems Engineer

Williams Heritage is where the history of Atlassian Williams F1 Team is kept alive. The team restores and maintains legendary Formula 1 cars, some dating back nearly 50 years, using original parts and handwritten notes like those from 1977 and Mario Andretti’s green sheet from Las Vegas. With over 150 years of combined experience, the engineers and mechanics make sure these cars are race-ready for historic events and private ownership. It’s a place where engineering meets passion, and the past is brought back to life on and off the track.
