General Requirements

We are a 100% student-run motorsport team that operates like an independent company. Think something like F1, just on a much smaller scale.
Being part of the team comes with a lot of work to do, but also great satisfaction.

These are the key elements which are required for all applicants:

Jump straight to what you are looking for

Mechanics Team

The mechanics team is responsible for the design, simulation, manufacturing and assembly of all the car's mechanical components such as the chassis, transmission, braking and steering system, suspensions and aerodynamics.

Skills and areas of knowledge required to be able to join this team:

The following areas of expertise will be required depending on the specific role within the mechanics team:

Electronics Team

The electronics team is responsible for designing and testing the low and high- voltage systems of the car as well as the battery management system, wireless telemetry, inverters and data acquisition.

Skills and areas of knowledge required to be able to join this team:

The following key areas of knowledge should preferably be already established but will be developed during the first week after joining anyway:

Software Team

The software team is responsible for the development of the firmware for the car’s electronics, the cloud-based telemetry system and the steering wheel’s interface.
Low-level programming is used for the car's electronic boards (which are based on micro-controllers) whereas applications with a higher abstraction level are used to interact with the vehicle and perform the diagnostics.

The following areas of expertise will be required depending on the specific role within the software team:

Dynamics & Controls Team

The dynamics and control team is responsible for designing and analysing the kinematics of the vehicle. The team works on developing controls such as slip control and torque vectoring to achieve better performance. Furthermore, it is also tasked with the development of the car’s aero kit by optimising the vehicle's interaction with airflow, reducing drag and improving overall efficiency.
To achieve this goal, the team focuses on validating and fine-tuning theoretical models through real-world track data.

Skills and areas of knowledge required to be able to join this team:

Driverless Team

The driverless project is a joint effort by members of different areas who work together to turn our car into a driverless vehicle. The car has to be able to recognise a standard track delimited by a series of cones and to complete it as fast as possible. Achieving this macro-objective is possible thanks to the collaboration of the following departments: Software, Electronics, Mechanics, Dynamics and Control.
The team is composed of two sub-teams. Driverless Software is responsible for the development of the image recognition algorithm and the virtual driver.
Driverless Actuation is tasked with the design of the mechanical actuation systems to drive the car.

Management Team

The management team is responsible for the organisation’s finances and is tasked with handling purchases and managing relations with the team’s partner companies.
Furthermore, the management team has to prepare for two of the competition's static events: the Business Plan and the Cost Report. The former involves developing an innovative automotive-based business idea and pitching it to potential investors. The latter requires teams to make a detailed report about the cost sustained during the production of the car.

We are generally looking for economic students, preferably master's students, to be placed in the following sub-teams according to their strengths: treasury, cost report & business plan and sponsorship.

The following areas of expertise will be required depending on the specific role within the management team:

Communications Team

The communications team takes care of everything regarding the public image of the team. This involves the production of content for both digital (photos, videos, graphic design works) and physical media (posters, flyers, brochures, business cards, team wear, car livery). Furthermore, the communications team is responsible for managing the team’s social media accounts and for organising public events.

The communications team is built upon several key roles and their corresponding skill sets:
