ECU Software Development for High-Performance Racing Cars
Project in Nutshell: Promwad provided a dedicated team to a European motorsport technology leader, helping them keep parallel OEM programmes on schedule. Our engineers took ownership of ECU software tasks, ensured reliable delivery, and strengthened the client’s engineering capacity without new hires.
Client & Challenge
Our customer develops high-performance engines, powertrains, and electronics for sports and racing cars. When several OEM projects coincided with the launch of a new platform, their in-house team could not handle the load. The risk of missed deadlines threatened both release schedules and strategic partnerships. They needed not just extra hands but a self-managed team able to integrate seamlessly and deliver results. Promwad helped the client sustain parallel OEM programme delivery under time-critical conditions without slowing the new platform rollout.
How We Fit
To address the client’s urgent need for additional capacity, Promwad built a dedicated team that blended seamlessly into their global development process. The team quickly became a trusted part of the customer’s SAFe train and took ownership of critical ECU software tasks:-pressure programme. The results were tangible:
What Changed for Customer
Our dedicated team didn’t just add extra hands — it created stability and predictability inside a high-pressure programme. The results were tangible:
Why Dedicated Team Works
When multiple OEM programmes run in parallel, a dedicated engineering team managed R&D capacity helps stabilise delivery without adding hiring overhead. It gives the client predictable ECU software ownership while staying fully aligned with existing SAFe processes and toolchains.
