Atlassian Williams F1 Team and Komatsu expand Engineering Academy through Formula Student collaboration
The hunt for the next generation of exceptional engineers is on as Atlassian Williams F1 Team and Komatsu launch the third edition of the Komatsu Williams Engineering Academy.
The global program aims to recruit the world’s most talented young engineers, and supercharge their career ambitions through e-learning, visits to cutting edge manufacturing facilities, and mentorship from experts at industry-leading machinery manufacturer Komatsu and iconic F1 team Williams.
From 2026, the Academy will be run in collaboration with Formula Student, a leading engineering competition for university students, and with the support of Formula SAE, its sister competition for students around the world. Academy members will be selected from the competition’s finalist pools, both at Silverstone in the UK and virtually through global assessment centers.
The Komatsu Williams Engineering Academy is a staple of Williams’ grid-leading Early Careers offering and is entering its third year. The team is committed to investing in the talent of the future through their industrial placements, graduate programs, and work experience. Today, 12 percent of all staff members are from Early Careers. Komatsu supports community-based programs around the world designed to attract and train new generations of engineering and technical talent.
