Index of technical roles, slots and public CVs across series

Scope: Public sources can fairly reliably name race engineers and some senior/chief race engineering roles; however, teams generally do not fully disclose the performance, controls, power unit and tyre engineers assigned to each car. This section therefore lists role types and their position on the career ladder, rather than claiming to have a complete list of supporting roles.
