MISSIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

Technical programme leadership

• Define and own the multi-year technical roadmap, development phases, milestones and deliverables.
• Structure the programme across key technologies, including helmet and visor displays, optical HUD solutions, sensors, vehicle positioning, data processing and sensor fusion.
• Lead the programme from technology assessment and proof of concept through prototype development, integration and testing.
• Maintain effective governance through risk, dependency, resource and milestone management.

Systems integration and technical coordination

• Act as the technical systems integrator across on-car electronics, sensors, communication systems, data-processing solutions and driver equipment.
• Translate safety and operational objectives into technical requirements, system architectures and validation plans.
• Identify technical dependencies, interface constraints and integration risks across hardware and software systems.
• Ensure that solutions address Formula 1 constraints, including packaging, weight, aerodynamics, cooling, latency, reliability and driver safety.

Supplier and stakeholder management

• Identify and coordinate specialised technology suppliers, engineering partners and research organisations.
• Review and challenge supplier proposals, technical architectures, test results, costs and delivery timelines.
• Build alignment across Formula 1 teams, FIA technical departments, safety specialists and external partners.
• Lead technical workshops, reconcile competing requirements and facilitate pragmatic compromises.

Testing, human factors and risk management

• Coordinate simulation, laboratory evaluation, prototype development and vehicle-based testing.
• Develop validation protocols for individual technologies and integrated solutions.
• Assess human factors, including cognitive workload, visual ergonomics, information prioritisation, latency and emergency driver egress.
• Identify and mitigate technical, safety, financial, intellectual property and programme-delivery risks.

Regulatory and strategic roadmap

• Assess potential implications for FIA Technical, Sporting and Financial Regulations.
• Support the development of regulatory, standardisation and implementation roadmaps.
• Prepare technical trade-off analyses, recommendations and phased implementation scenarios.
• Consolidate technical findings and test results into clear reports for senior leadership and governance bodies.

PROFILE:

• Master’s degree in Systems Engineering, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Control Engineering, Embedded Systems, Avionics, Optronics or a related discipline.
• Minimum 7 to 10 years of relevant engineering and project management experience involving complex electronic, control or safety-critical systems.
• Strong technical knowledge across areas such as vehicle electronics, control systems, sensors, communication systems, sensor fusion, positioning technologies, embedded systems or optical displays.
• Experience in Formula 1, WEC or advanced motorsport would be highly valuable. Relevant experience from aerospace, avionics or advanced automotive engineering is also welcomed.
• Proven experience coordinating complex engineering programmes involving multiple suppliers and interconnected technical workstreams.
• Experience integrating hardware and software components within demanding, high-performance or safety-critical environments.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to reconcile competing technical priorities.
• Experience with HUD technologies, helmet systems, sensor fusion, vehicle positioning or driver-assistance technologies would be an advantage.
• Full professional proficiency in English.
