What awaits you:

If you are interested in joining our team but are not yet sure which specific role fits you best, this general application allows you to become part of the project while discovering where your strengths and interests lie.

Our Formula Student team brings together students from many different disciplines who work together to design, build, test, and compete with a fully electric race car. Engineering tasks range from mechanical design and manufacturing to electronics, software, simulation, data analysis, and project management.
