Parttime – Chassis

The chassis is what shapes the car. In the composites department you are responsible for the design and production of the next chassis. You will get to help in the production with a goal of optimizing the weight and improving our environmental impact by the use of renewable component like flax fiber.

Ideal profile:

Knowledge

Basic knowledge of material sciences and composite production techniques

Soft skills

Professional, mature and enterpreneurial attitude

Software

NX Siemens

What are the tasks:

We’re seeking a skilled Steering Wheel Design Engineer to create innovative, ergonomic, and visually appealing steering wheel designs. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, choose suitable materials, and ensure compliance with safety standards. If you’re passionate about revolutionizing the driving experience, apply now to be part of our team.

Join us as a Part-Time Structural Engineer focusing on bracket design, analysis, and more. One of the tasks is to design and analyze structural brackets for LIDAR devices, perform strength and FEM analysis, and contribute to various engineering tasks. Ideal for those seeking flexible hours and a passion for structural engineering. Apply now to be part of our dynamic team.

Some previous tasks:

Ergonomics is key for a driver to get the maximum performance out of our electrical race car. In this case we’ll take a look at our padalbox. For now, our self-made padalbox is rigidly connected to our chassis, however, the system should be made movable to increase driver compatibility. Furthermore, the design should be revisited to get an understanding of the system and to look for weight-saving opportunities before production. The volunteer would design, produce and assemble a light-weight dynamic mounting system that is compatible with our current design of the padalbox.

Ergonomics is key for a driver to get the maximum performance out of our electrical race car. In this case we’ll take a look at our steering wheel and driver seat. Both the steering wheel grip and driver seat could be designed by making use of 3D scanning techniques. In these designs, driver compatibility should be taken into account since our car is driven by several drivers. Designing, for example, just one wheel interchangeable between these drivers would put us ahead of competition. Furthermore, the design of the seat should be revisited.

The volunteer would design, produce and assemble a light-weight steering wheel and driver seat that is compatible with our current design of the monocoque.

Returns:

  • Experience in an unique field of expertise
