Tasks:

• Build a heat transfer simulation of the cells
• Build a heat dissipation simulation of the Accumulator
• Assist in FEM simulations when needed
• Keep in contact with sponsors of used software

Profile:

• Interest in a broad variety of simulations
• Willingness to learn the usage of new software (Ansis, Amesim, Matlab, etc.)
• Structured and independent working style
• Basic knowledge of CAD and Batteries is beneficial but not required

What awaits you:

You will be working on improving the thermal performance of the accumulator.
You will need to build up a proper model of the Accumulator starting from the cell all the way up to the housing with integrated cooling.

Last year we managed to fix our cooling issues but the thermal demand on the accumulator will only be increasing so that we are in need of a proper systematical approach to designing future cooling systems.

As a baseline you are given a mathematical model of the used accumulator-cells which we gain from a sponsor. Through this model, and other data from logfiles you can build thermal simulations which later can be used to digitise the entire battery.

Since you will be using products that we gain from sponsors you will be one of the people most suited to give feedback to said Sponsors which is also part of your job.

This role offers you the option to develop critical skills used for research and development with a direct connection to a super fun project. With passion towards the project will learn at a rate unmatched by any academic institution combined with personal tutoring.

Time expenditure: At least 10 hours per Week

What We Expect in Addition

Beyond technical competence, we place great value on personal commitment and the ability to work effectively within a team. Formula Student is a performance-driven development project that only succeeds through reliability and personal responsibility.

We expect:

• Reliability and adherence to agreements
• Independent and structured working style
• Clear and respectful communication within the team
• Willingness to actively participate in meetings and test days
• Thorough documentation of one’s own work
• Long-term commitment throughout the entire season

We are not looking for passive participants, but for team members who take ownership and actively contribute to the performance of our vehicle.
