Giedo will participate in the pre-season tests and will take part in a number of FP1 sessions throughout the season as a core part of the team's driver line-up.
"We are looking forward to seeing how he can help us develop throughout the season as we take our next steps towards the established midfield teams ahead," said Caterham F1 Team principal Tony Fernandes on Saturday.
"His performances in GP2, particularly in 2011, mark Giedo out as one of motorsport's brightest prospects."
