Racing Structural Performance Engineer
Pubblicato il 29-10-2026 - Dallara in Varano de' Melegari
Who We Are
The history of the Dallara Group began in 1972, when Engineer Giampaolo Dallara—after significant professional experience at Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, and De Tomaso—founded Dallara Automobili da Competizione in Varano de' Melegari, a small town near Parma.
Today, the Dallara Group is made up of over 950 Dallara People and is one of the most important players in the design, development, and production of racing cars and hypercars. Dallara is the sole supplier for the following championships: IndyCar, IndyNXT, Formula 2, Formula 3, EuroFormula, Formula E, Super Formula, Super Formula Light, Euroformula Open, Eurocup‑3, and A2RL. It also develops and manufactures some of the cars competing in the WEC and IMSA championships and provides consultancy in other series, including NASCAR and F1.
Since the early 2000s, the Dallara Group has offered specialized consulting and professional support to the world’s most prestigious automotive brands, primarily for the development of ultra‑high‑performance super sports cars.
On November 16, 2016, the Dallara Stradale—the first road car bearing the Dallara name—was unveiled. It embodies Engineer Dallara’s lifelong dream and synthesizes nearly 50 years of innovation. This was followed by the Dallara EXP, a track‑only version of the Stradale, representing the essence of racing spirit with extreme performance and FIA‑level safety standards.
In recent years, the Dallara Group has also begun collaborating on the development of solutions for the aerospace sector.
