Production Team

About the team

The Production Team is the core of the car’s realization, responsible for transforming the digital designs from the engineering teams into finished, physical components. As a new team for this year’s project, you will have a unique opportunity to shape our processes and culture from the ground up. The team is central in ensuring that all parts are not only designed for performance, but also for efficient manufacturing.

Being part of the Production Team means you will gain a deep understanding of a wide range of manufacturing methods, material selection, and the principles of Design for Manufacturing (DFM). The team works in close collaboration with all engineering teams to review designs, provide feedback, and act as the key link to the university’s workshops.

This year, our primary goal is to integrate manufacturing knowledge early in the design phase. We will develop and expand a “Manufacturing Design Guide” for the organization and ensure that we build a car that is both high-quality and manufacturable. Join the team that builds the car from the ground up!

About the work and responsibilities

As a member of the Production Team, you will have a dynamic role with responsibilities spanning from the early design phase to the final assembly of the car. You will be assigned to support a specific set of engineering teams, acting as their dedicated manufacturing expert.

Key areas of responsibility include:

• Collaborating with design teams to provide feedback on manufacturability (DFM).
• Acting as a link between engineering teams and the workshops, helping to manage production requests.
• Contributing to the management of the organization’s materials, fasteners, and tools.
• Supporting the use of the team’s 3D printers and its workflow.
• Helping to build and retain knowledge by contributing to a “Manufacturing Design Guide.”

The workload is estimated to be around 10-15 hours a week. The work is a mix of collaborating with design teams and practical tasks in the workshop.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a problem-solver with a strong practical mindset and an interest in how things are made. You are a communicative team player who takes responsibility for your tasks and is meticulous in your work. You enjoy bridging the gap between theory and practice.

For the role of Production Engineer, the following is meritorious:

• Experience with practical workshop-related work (e.g., lathing, milling, welding).
• Knowledge of or an interest in composite materials like carbon fibre.
• Experience in reading and understanding technical drawings.
• A good understanding of different manufacturing methods and DFM principles.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a structured manner.

While previous technical experience is a bonus, your passion for building things and willingness to learn are what truly matter. This project is a fantastic opportunity to develop practical skills and gain invaluable insight into the entire production chain.

Application Process

If you believe you would be a great fit for the Production Team, please send your application (in Swedish or English) no later than [Date, e.g., September 7th]. Attach your CV and tell us why you would be a great fit for this team.

This project is the perfect opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge from your courses to a real-world international engineering challenge. Whether you’re passionate about cars or just eager to gain hands-on experience,learn a lot about engineering and manufacturing, you are welcome to apply. As a new team, you’ll also have a unique chance to shape our methods and culture from the very beginning.

Interviews will be held continuously during the recruitment period. So don’t wait with your application!
