Jobbeschreibung

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. You will work on complex multi-system electronics projects requiring seamless integration across control units, sensors, communication networks, and data systems.

Based in Geneva, this new role requires working within a fast-paced, multidisciplinary team and includes trackside travel to Formula 1 events (approximately 12 events per year).

MISSIONS AND 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.

PROFILE:

• 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.
