Maschinenbau

Mechanical - Vehicle body
Monocoque

Responsible for the car’s main carbon monocoque and rollcage structure. Focus on mechanical design, manufacturability, and composite layer optimization for strength and weight.

Mechanical - Vehicle body
Structural Development and Simulation

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.

Mechanical - Vehicle body
Mechanisms

Develop and refine all moving systems such as hinges, canopy, and telescopic supports. Priorities are lightweight, adjustable designs with reliable operation and manufacturable mechanisms.

Mechanical - Vehicle body
Electrical Integration

Responsible for designing the Housings for all electronic components into the vehicle, including light housings, MPPT and MCU enclosures, and cable routing. 

Mechanical - Vehicle body
Running Gear Integration

Works together with the Running Gear team to fully integrate wheels and other moving parts.

Mechanical - aerodynamics
Aero Fin Development

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.

Mechanical - Running Gear
