Research notes
Enrico Gualtieri was born in 1975 in Modena, earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in 2000, came to Ferrari to work on his thesis, and stayed on — he has been with Ferrari ever since. He started as a simulation specialist, and rose steadily through the ranks: Engine Fluid Dynamics Simulation Specialist, Head of Engine Reliability, Head of Engine Design and Development, Head of Power Unit Project Management, becoming Head of the Power Unit Department in 2019 and Power Unit Technical Director in 2023. He is a classic example of the internally developed, single-employer, step-by-step career path.
Very important during the 2026 power unit cycle.
