High Voltage Engineer
The Project
We contribute to the future of mobility. Innovation has always been our cornerstone to create the best solar car in the world. This year, we are looking for pioneers to challenge the status quo and bring our top-notch solar car to the next level. You will have to go through the process of researching, designing, prototyping and testing your systems together with a group of highly motivated, ambitious students. You will work together with numerous companies and a vast network of Solar Team alumni to develop new innovations. This project will help you become a state of the art engineer! Not convinced yet? Well, as the cherry on top, during the race you will demonstrate your winning car against other solar car teams from all over the world! Which race is yet to be determined, but in the past we have raced in Australia, Chili, Abu Dhabi and Zolder. Have a look on our web page "History", follow us on Social Media and watch a video on our YouTube channel to learn more!
The Function
As a High Voltage engineer, you take responsibility over the power-train of the car. You will understand its components and look into detail what can be improved in terms of efficiency and reliability. Plenty of options here: designing and building a new custom motor for optimal driving circumstances during your race, looking for the best new opportunities in an evolving battery market, improve the internal solar energy harvesting in our solar panel ... Your own input in delivering the best car in terms of energy efficiency is very much required! You will work closely together with the Low Voltage engineer in the Energy department.
