Mechanical
Responsible for the car’s main carbon monocoque and rollcage structure. Focus on mechanical design, manufacturability, and composite layer optimization for strength and weight.
Design and optimize the vehicle’s structural components including underbody, shell, and solar deck. Tasks include layer optimization, integrating ribs, flanges, and cutouts for lights, camera, and solar mounting.
Develop and refine all moving systems such as hinges, canopy, and telescopic supports. Priorities are lightweight, adjustable designs with reliable operation and manufacturable mechanisms.
Responsible for designing the Housings for all electronic components into the vehicle, including light housings, MPPT and MCU enclosures, and cable routing.Â
Works together with the Running Gear team to fully integrate wheels and other moving parts.
Create parametric CAD and kinematics, then validate with CFD across yaw angles. Use route wind data to define the operating envelope, then prototype and test in tunnel and on road.
Design and simulate suspension components. Calculation and layout of the suspension for optimal performance and efficiency. Selection of suitable materials and manufacturing techniques for suspension components.
Design and simulate steering components. Calculation and layout of the steering for optimal performance and efficiency. Selection of suitable materials and manufacturing techniques for steering components.
In charge of creating the kinematics, perform stability analysis to find the optimum kinematics parameters, Collaboration with other team members to ensure the design aligns with the overall project goals.

Electrical
Responsible for managing all electrical parts, including PCBs (Inverter, MPPTs) and Battery Development. Oversees Budget and Sponsoring Contacts and responsible for recruiting.
Responsible for the overall battery pack architecture, including cell selection, mechanical layout, and safety systems. Optimize energy density, cooling, and serviceability. Collaboration with BMS and powertrain.
Develops both the hardware and software of the inverter system, responsible for driving the motor efficiently and safely. Work on power electronics, control algorithms and communcation interfaces with other systems.
Designs the hardware and control software for the vehicle’s power conversion and maximum power point tracking systems. Ensure efficient energy extraction from the power source and stable voltage regulation across varying loads.
Develops both the elctronic circuits and ebedded software that monitor, protect and manage the accumulator. Handle sensing, data acquisition, fault detection, and cell balancing to ensure safe and optimal battery performance.Â
Mangement, Marketing & Logistics
End-to-end planning and execution of international logistics for the team, including sea, air, and road freight, packaging solutions, and race-related transport coordination.
