The Anglo-Italian team announced three key hires on Monday afternoon as it goes through a significant revamp under incoming team principal Laurent Mekies.
In addition to Goss and Permane coming in, it has also hired Red Bull aerodynamicist Guillaume Cattelani as its deputy technical director.
Goss has been brought in to report to Mekies in the newly-created position of chief technical officer, following his recent departure as the FIA's technical director for single-seaters. Goss, who previously worked at McLaren from 1990 to 2018, will take up his new role in October, nine months after leaving the FIA.
“I am delighted to join Visa Cash App RB at the start of its new era of competition,” said Goss.
“It’s a team with great pride and heritage, with some exceptional people already in place, and I’m looking forward to working with team principal Laurent Mekies and alongside technical director Jody Egginton. There’s an exciting challenge ahead of us but I think the team is well-equipped to meet that head on.”
As previously reported by Autosport, the team has also appointed former Alpine man Permane as its racing director to oversee all of its trackside operations, a similar role he had been fulfilling at the Enstone team until his dismissal last July.
“After a few months of downtime, it’s great to return to racing again with the Visa Cash App RB team," Permane added. “From long experience, I know how professional, driven and competitive the people within this race team are and I can’t wait to see where that spirit can take the team in the future.”
