Tasks:

• Design of control arms
• Development of uprights
• Design of inserts and hardpoints
• Suspension packaging and system integration

Profile:

• Experience with Creo or SolidWorks
• Strong technical understanding
• Willingness to iterate and continuously improve designs

What awaits you:

As a CAD Design Engineer in the Suspension department, you are responsible for the structural implementation of our suspension system. You develop and optimize key components such as control arms, uprights, as well as inserts and hardpoints, ensuring they are structurally robust and designed for manufacturability.

You work closely with the Kinematics & Vehicle Dynamics team, translating theoretical requirements into concrete geometries. Packaging plays a central role in this position: you must always consider installation space, mounting points, aerodynamic interfaces, manufacturing constraints, and assembly accessibility within the overall vehicle system.

An essential part of your work is the iterative development process. Designs are not created once and considered “finished” — they are continuously analyzed, tested, and improved. You refine components based on FEM results, test data, and manufacturing feedback, developing solutions that are both technically high-performing and realistically producible.

This role requires strong technical understanding, spatial visualization skills, and experience with CAD software such as Creo or SolidWorks. If you enjoy taking ownership of real hardware and want to see your designs perform on track, this is the right position for you.

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.
