The Williams body shop has already laid off half of its workforce

Ignoring Maldo's terrible driving, Williams is looking faster at Austin, and here's why.

All year they've been trying to get the Coanda exhaust working, giving them more rear downforce; but these are banned next year so Williams took the decision to change the rear bodywork to be more like their 2014 car, this reduces the rear grip on the car but it does seem to be working. At least this is a positive sign for 2014 for the Grove outfit.

Just thought that was an interesting little tid bit.

[What's Burning?]

Read the same thing a few days back, it doe get rid of some rear downforce but with other mechanical adjustments it has made the care more driveable overall therefore giving them a net gain.

[1Lemon]

Yeah it's more stable and consistent.

Williams expand with new technical personnel

The Williams F1 Team has expanded its engineering team as part of its on-going work to strengthen the technical leadership structure at Williams ahead of the 2014 Formula One World Championship season.

As part of this process, Jakob Andreasen has joined as Head of Engineering Operations and will work under Chief Technical Officer Pat Symonds. Previously at Force India, Jakob’s focus will be on better integrating trackside operations with the continued design and development of the Williams-Mercedes FW36 at the factory.

Jakob is supported by two further appointments in Craig Wilson, Head of Vehicle Dynamics, and Rod Nelson, Chief Test & Support Engineer. Craig returns to Williams from Mercedes to strengthen the engineering team in applying vehicle modelling and analysis to help bring further improvements to on-track performance. Rod joins from the Lotus F1 Team to head up the team’s testing programme including leading the group at the factory that provide support and analysis from Grove over all race events.

Reporting directly to Jakob, Max Nightingale is promoted to Head of Vehicle Science to ensure a focus on performance within the new structure which will improve the connection between race operations and on-going development work.

Pat Symonds, Williams F1 Team Chief Technical Officer, said; “Williams is determined to make strong improvements in our competitiveness over the coming seasons and these new appointments continue our aggressive approach in recruiting some of the sport’s best talent. We are also committed to allowing our existing talent to grow and showcase their skills in senior leadership roles. Our engineering team for the coming season is looking strong and I’m excited about what we can achieve moving forwards.”

I saw this earlier, Williams seem to be having a real recruitment drive with key positions over the close season, lets hope this bodes well for 2014 and beyond!!

[Jabberwocky]

Yes they have had a big drive on all levels.

Not I, said the Canuckistani! I don't cheer for any team, but if I did it would Williams. Well, after they get rid of Massa anyway. I guess he's an upgrade, but maybe not. Wewillsee.

More information about this job:
Overview:
Engineering excellence is at the heart of Williams’ DNA. The team’s business model is unique in the pit-lane. While many of the other teams are extensions of multinational companies’ marketing departments, Williams is wholly independent; it exists solely to go racing. Its commercial partnerships must drive value back to its partners’ companies.

To meet these expectations, the team has grown exponentially since 1977. What started out as a group of 17 people has mushroomed into a company that now employs more than 600 people at its technology campus in Grove, Oxfordshire.
“This is the toughest era of F1 that I have been involved with,” says Frank Williams. “The standard of engineering in the pit-lane is very high indeed and for that reason we must always strive to do better. The next race is the only thing that matters in F1.”

We are currently recruiting for a Software Programmer to develop and maintain the software and computational tools used by the Aerodynamics Department, including development of GUI’s and web based interfaces.

Our ideal candidate will have a Mechanical Engineering or Computer Science degree with experience within an engineering environment.

Knowledge of some of the following languages and environments would be an advantage:

MATLAB,
Object orientated programming (C++, Python, Java),
Web page development (HTML5, JavaScript, Django, Dojo or other framework)
User interface design and development (Qt or other)

You will have good attention to detail and the ability to work within a multi-disciplinary team. Interpersonal skills are key, and you will be able to deliver results under pressure.

Benefits are:

Pension Scheme
Long Term Disability Insurance
Life Assurance
Private Medical Health
Travel Insurance
25 Days Holiday
Free Gym
Subsidised Canteen

STRICTLY NO AGENCIES

It's only a matter of time before JAVA powers F1 cars; JAVA already powers half the World and wouldn't surprise me if half the teams used JAVA in their software systems.

/Shame that I am freaking useless with Java.

Java is right up there and .net seems dead. But there's plenty going on with php/lamp and a few others.

I was reading about something called the electric imp. I like how technology is going in that area.
