About the team
The Test Team is an excellent starting point for those looking to make a meaningful contribution to our organisation. Whether you’re new or experienced, this team provides a supportive environment where you can quickly get involved and start making a difference. Most of the systems you will be working on are easy to pick up, giving you plenty of opportunities to develop your skills and grow within the team.
Beyond testing, you’ll manage some systems such as the battery cart and lift. Your role will be crucial in performing tests and ensuring our facilities are well-organised and efficient.
This year, our goals are ambitious: we plan to conduct extensive testing on both our older cars and the new ER26, and upgrade our facilities with improved storage solutions. Joining the Test Team means becoming a vital part of these efforts, contributing to the ongoing success of our projects.
The time spent on the project is roughly 8 hours a week
As a Test Engineer, you’ll take the lead in planning and executing tests on both our new and legacy cars. This role is ideal for individuals who enjoy a blend of strategic thinking and hands-on mechanical work. You’ll get to experience the thrill of seeing the car’s performance improve with each test, whether you’re on campus or at professional testing sites like VTI and Mantorp Park. The satisfaction of fine-tuning a high-performance vehicle and witnessing the results firsthand is what makes testing not just crucial but also incredibly fun.
As a Cad Engineer, you will help us realize and produce the parts we need in our work, both for the team and for the organization. We have a couple of systems that we are designing, which involve some creative solutions and will test your problem-solving skills. You will be able to learn how good design will affect and improve day-to-day workflow. A big focus during the spring is to organise and make improvements to our facilities, where thought-out design will be crucial.
As a Documentation Responsible, you will help the organisation work towards one of its main goals this year, which is to improve our project documentation and its standards. On any project, especially on projects of this scale, documentation is crucial. It is crucial for us to know what we have done and how we achieved it for ourselves this year and for our future projects. This is a cornerstone of project improvements. You will do this by helping us improve our documentation standards, as well as giving feedback on documents written by other members.
Basic qualifications
Willingness to Learn: The Test Team is all about growth and innovation. With so many new challenges and systems to master, having an open mindset and a proactive approach to acquiring new skills will set you up for success. Whether you’re tackling complex tests or designing off-car systems, your ability to adapt and learn is key.
Team Collaboration: Collaboration isn’t just important—it’s essential. You’ll be working closely with fellow team members both in the test team but also with other teams, from mechanical work to system design. A strong sense of teamwork and the ability to communicate effectively will help you thrive in this dynamic environment.
Communication Skills: Clear and effective communication is crucial in the fast-paced environment of the Test Team. Whether you’re sharing your ideas, reporting test results, or coordinating with other teams, your ability to articulate your thoughts clearly will ensure smooth operations.
Problem-Solving Skills: Whether you’re in the middle of a test or designing a new system, unexpected challenges will arise. Your ability to think critically, troubleshoot issues, and come up with creative solutions will make a big impact on our team’s performance.
Meritorious Professional and Personal Skills/Competencies
CAD: Basic knowledge of CAD software (especially CREO) will be a huge asset. You’ll be turning innovative ideas into reality, so your ability to design, develop, and refine projects is key.
Mechanical and practical skills: For those diving into the hands-on work of a Test Engineer, a solid understanding of mechanical systems, along with experience using tools and working on vehicles, will be invaluable. Your mechanical skills will be crucial as you bring the ER25 and other cars to their peak performance.
We look forward to your application!
