## Description

Join the FIA and play a key role in developing and monitoring the advanced technologies powering Formula 1.

As an Application Software Engineer within the FIA Technical Department, you will strengthen our in-house embedded software capabilities to implement, monitor, and enforce Formula 1 technical and sporting regulations.

**Job Responsibilities:**

### Embedded Application Software Development

- Design, implement, validate, and maintain robust in-house embedded software for key FIA Formula 1 platforms, notably the FIA Standard ECU and Accident Data Recorder, to monitor and enforce regulatory compliance.

- Lead end-to-end multi-system integration across control units, sensors, vehicle communication buses, telemetry networks, and FIA data-analysis suites.

- Translate complex sporting, technical, and operational requirements into high-integrity software architectures, detailed specifications, and rigorous verification plans.

- Develop specialized simulation, test, and data-analysis tools to accelerate software validation, support regulatory evolution, and guarantee operational readiness.

- Execute functional and integration testing on bench and vehicle environments in close collaboration with F1 teams, power unit manufacturers, and electronics suppliers.

- Troubleshoot, optimize, and maintain application software repositories, applying rigorous code reviews, version control, and clear technical documentation to ensure long-term reliability and maintainability.

- Build and scale in-house engineering capabilities, reinforcing the FIA’s operational independence and responsiveness to emerging technical demands.

### Auditing of Electronic Systems

- Inspect competitors' embedded software, system behaviour, and telemetry data for compliance across chassis and powertrain regulations.

- Develop automated auditing tools and liaise with suppliers to streamline electronic inspection and homologation workflows.

### Development Strategy and Regulatory Support

- Support future regulation updates through proactive simulation, system modeling, and technical validation.

- Define specifications for future FIA electronic architectures, safeguard FIA intellectual property, and contribute technical input to F1 working groups.

### Race and Test Support

- Provide trackside support at F1 races and tests (~12 events/year) to configure, operate, and monitor FIA electronics and data-logging systems.

- Analyse real-time vehicle telemetry to verify regulatory compliance and resolve cross-system software anomalies in collaboration with teams and manufacturers.

**Requirements:**

- Master’s degree in Electronics, Control Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related discipline.

- Minimum 3 to 5 years of professional experience in embedded control systems or real-time application software development within a competitive motorsport environment (Formula 1, Formula E, WEC).

- Knowledge of the FIA Formula 1 Standard ECU and its application software tool suite would be a significant advantage.

- Proven track record in real-time embedded software development, testing, and lifecycle management; proficiency in MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape.

- Strong understanding of Formula 1 or Formula E or WEC chassis and powertrain operation, including associated electronic, electrical, communication, control and data systems.

- Demonstrated experience delivering complex multi-system electronics projects involving the integration and validation of interconnected embedded systems.

- Excellent organisational and communication skills, autonomy under pressure, and adaptability to high-tempo trackside environments.

- Absolute discretion regarding confidential data; fluent written and spoken English.
