Structures is looking for curious, driven students going into 2nd or 3rd year to join us this fall! Our team is responsible for designing and building the chassis, roll cage, and other critical structural components of the solar car. This is an especially exciting time to get involved as we move into hands-on manufacturing of both our carbon-fibre composite chassis and metal tubular rollcage. If you’re interested in developing skills in composite manufacturing, 3D printing, machining, CAD modeling and more, this is a great opportunity to learn and grow, and if you already have experience in these areas, you’ll be able to apply and refine your skills on real, high-impact engineering projects. No matter your experience level, we’re looking for students who are motivated, curious, and ready to contribute, and we’d love to see your application.

The Structures team is responsible for vehicle structures. The team deals with vehicle form, crash safety, component placement, and validates designs using complex FEA to simulate a variety of vehicle conditions and crashes. Understanding of static mechanics is a necessity while minimizing vehicle weight, profile/size, and finding the critical balance between ergonomic efficiency and structural triangulation.
