Description: As a General Member of the Human Factors and Ergonomics sub-team at Mac Formula Electric, you’ll help design, analyze, and build key driver-focused components such as the dashboard, steering wheel, seat, and headrest. Members gain hands-on experience with SolidWorks, simulations, and manufacturing while optimizing designs for safety, comfort, and performance. You’ll take ownership of a subcomponent, collaborate across teams, and contribute directly to integrating the HFE system into our Formula Electric Vehicle.

Application Due: August 29th @ 11:59 pm

Description: The Drivetrain sub-team designs, analyzes, manufactures, and validates the geartrain. This season’s focus includes NVH metrology, flow visualization, dynamometer development, and R&D for our next-generation powertrain—covering motor selection, inverter sizing, and gearbox design.The Drivetrain team welcomes upper and lower-year students. Upper years will focus on validation studies, while lower years will design an oil flow visualization rig replicating drivetrain geometry and sealing. Members will collaborate closely with other sub-teams, particularly electrical powertrain, on dynamometer development and next year’s powertrain system.

Application Due: August 29th @ 11:59 pm

Description: We are looking for students of all years! You will design components by following the engineering process – from research and testing to design, simulation, and manufacturing. Expect to work in a collaborative team environment where your work directly impacts the vehicle’s performance! Experience with CAD (SolidWorks, Inventor, etc.) and a general understanding of DFMA and statics/mechanics is valuable. Knowledge of suspension and steering systems, vehicle dynamics, FEA, and proficiency with MS Suite are a plus, but not required to be considered for this position.

Application Due: August 29th @ 11:59 pm

Description: The Tires, Brakes & Pedal Tray sub-team is tasked with designing, analyzing, manufacturing, testing, and validating the hydraulic brake and throttle system on the Formula Electric Vehicle. Our team is seeking both upper- and lower-year students, who will be responsible for a subcomponent of the pedal system or developing testing rigs to validate braking dynamics.

Application Due: August 29th @ 11:59 pm

Description: Our team is seeking both upper- and lower-year students, who will be responsible for subcomponents of the aerodynamics and cooling package, such as a front wing, nosecone, undertray, or radiator ducting. This involves creating and iterating designs, modeling them in SolidWorks, and validating performance using CFD simulations in ANSYS. Members will gain experience in understanding important fluid interactions and properties, while learning how aerodynamics affects other elements of the car, including vehicle dynamics, brakes, and the powertrain. You will work to optimize aerodynamic efficiency by maximizing downforce, minimizing drag, and ensuring cooling devices meet powertrain demands.

Application Due: August 29th @ 11:59 pm

Description: The powertrain mechanical sub-team is responsible for the design, testing, and physical integration of the accumulator assembly, battery pack design and testing, inverter and cooling, and packaging for electrical systems. The ideal senior mechanical engineer has plenty of good technical background, CAD experience, and experience conducting simulations in Ansys, MATLAB, etc. The ideal candidate also enjoys working with their hands. For lower years, we care about students who are passionate about their technical interests. Someone who can take direction and can also contribute in meaningful non-technical ways by bringing your unique talent to the team.

Application Due: August 29th @ 11:59 pm

Description: The Vehicle Dynamics sub-team is looking for students to help us validate the high precision functionality of our racecar! The VD team simulates suspension response based on pure Heave, Roll, Steer and Combined scenarios to outline suspension geometry and design targets based on suspension load cases. Responsibilities can include analyzing the suspension geometry and tire dynamics simulations through applications including Adams Car to validate wishbone geometry within the bounds of our car. Members will be justifying load cases and vehicle response scenarios by sensor implementation and post-testing data parsing to justify the ideal vehicle setup across various sub-team systems.

Application Due: Please note our VD team is not hiring this year.
