Dallara designs and manufactures high-performance racing cars and provides technical consulting to motorsport series and automotive manufacturers. The company's engineering-heavy hiring pattern—concentrated in mid-level and junior engineers working on multibody modeling, aerodynamics, and thermal systems—reflects the computational intensity of its core work. Active projects span laptime simulation, composite manufacturing optimization, and battery thermal design, signaling expansion beyond traditional racing into electrification and advanced materials.
Founded in 1972, Dallara is headquartered in Varano de' Melegari, Italy, with additional facilities in Stradella di Collecchio and Indianapolis. The company is the sole supplier of race cars for IndyCar, IndyNXT, Formula 2, Formula 3, EuroFormula, Formula E, and Super Formula, and builds cars for WEC, ELMS, and IMSA. Beyond racing series, Dallara provides consulting to manufacturers and teams developing competition and road cars. The company also manufactures the Stradale, a road-legal sports car produced in limited numbers since 2017, and the Dallara EXP, a track-only variant. In recent years, Dallara has expanded into aerospace and defense sectors. The organization employs over 800 people across engineering, manufacturing, and design roles.
Dallara's stack centers on MATLAB, CATIA, Creo, and HyperWorks for simulation and CAD work, complemented by Abaqus for structural analysis and Dymola for multibody dynamics modeling. Python, C++, and C# support custom tooling.
Active projects include laptime simulation tools, aerodynamic development, multibody modeling, composite structural manufacturing for racing, and battery pack sizing and thermal design systems—reflecting work across traditional racing and electrified vehicle platforms.
