Aerodynamics
We are the team that handles the aerodynamics of the motorcycle so that it cuts through the wind like a knife. Speed is our middle name, and we make sure that the bike is not only fast but looks fast even when still.
We are looking for:
- Interest Surface Design
- Experience in 3D printing
- Interest in Fluid Dynamics
- Cooling knowledge
- Motivation to learn about Aerodynamics
Job Openings
You are our virtual wind tunnel. You will lead and support our fluid dynamics simulations to analyze how air moves around the bike. Your job is to explore how different bike dynamics impact drag and lift, and you’ll play a huge role in validating your virtual data with real-world wind tunnel runs.
You turn aerodynamic concepts into physical bodywork. You will design everything the air touches including the fairing, mudguards, active aerodynamics, covers, rear fairing, nozzle systems, and any extra aero parts we need. Your focus is blending styling with aerodynamic performance to create a sleek, aggressive, and fast motorcycle.
You are the master of thermal management, ensuring the bike stays ice-cold all the time. You will take charge of the cooling system design, selecting and testing the ideal radiators to handle massive heat loads. A huge part of your job will focus on keeping the motor and the batterie cool so we can push as hard as we can with all our components.
M&C
We are the ones who make sure the world knows what we’re building in the workshop. From building relationships with the partners who believe in our mission to telling our story across social media. We handle the "how" and the "who" so the rest of the team can focus on the "fast."
We are looking for:
Video and Content Creators
Photo and Videographers
Web Designers
Graphic Designers
Sponsoring Support
Job Openings
We’re looking for a versatile photographer or videographer to join the team. You’ll be our go-to person for creating visual content, whether that’s shooting clean promotional material, filming behind-the-scenes engineering work or just shooting an awsome shot.
You are our digital creator. You’ll take raw footage and turn it into engaging content for social media. Your goal is to captivate viewers and keep our collegues, friends and sponsors excited about our journey.
The website is your responsibility. Our site is the first place sponsors and interested students look, so you’ll edit its design, layout, and user experience. You’ll keep our technical specs and sponsor info updated, ensuring a clean, intuitive, and responsive site.
From campus recruitment posters and sponsor brochures, you make sure we look sharp and professional. You’ll mix creative branding with clean layouts to give the team a captivating, aggressive, but also fun look.
E-Technology
We’re the ones making sure the bike actually has "juice." Our team handles everything from the battery to the engine itself. If it involves electrons you'll find us right in the middle of it.
We are looking for:
Passion for Electronics and Embedded Systems
PCB Designers
Inverter & Motor Control Engineer
Programmers: Microcontroller and UI Development
Data Logging and Analysis
Sensor and CAN Integration
Job Openings
You will be leading a team of electrical and mechanical engineers to develop the E-Powertrain subsystem. This includes the HV Accumulator, Inverter and the BMS. You manage budgets and make sure the timelines are held and coordinate tasks and members accordingly.
You will be leading a team of electrical engineers to develop the LV system and its components. This includes all the peripherals, controllers, such as the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) and sensors. Developing a reliable and functional architecture for handling and logging data across the bike is the task of your team. You manage budgets and make sure the timelines are held and coordinate tasks and members accordingly.
You will be responsible for the reliable and correct operation of our Inverter. You will go to testbenches and tune the Inverter to the motor and handle communication with other electrical and mechanical subsystem connected to yours.
You will be conceptualizing and developing PCBs that will control every aspect of our motorcycle. This includes defining the requirements and finding solutions to fulfill them. The parts you will be working on reach from control units to power delivery boards and much more. This role also includes the assembly of the boards and their installation on the motorcycle.
You will be designing a wiring harness that connects all the electrical components and peripherals. You will construct the harness in CAD and select suitable components such as wiring and connectors. This role also includes the assembly of the final harnesses and their installation on the motorcycle.
You will be programming the STM32 microcontrollers that control the motorcycle. They handle the communication across the bike as well as the logging of important data.
Running Gear
Running Gear is all about how the bike feels when it’s rolling. We work on suspension, brakes, wheels, and the overall setup to make the bike stable, predictable, and fast. If you like building, testing, and tweaking until things feel “just right,” this is the place where lap time turns into something you can actually feel.
We are looking for:
CAD Designers
FEM Engineer e.g. for triple clamps
JOb Openings
In this role, you’ll focus on designing foundational components, mounts, and brackets. If you have basic CAD skills and want a place where you can actually learn and grow, this is a great spot to start your career.
Join us team as a Construction Supporter and help us build our next motorcycle from the ground up starting late this year. We’re looking for hands on team members ready to turn sheets of carbon and bare metall into a high performance racing machine.
Vehichle Body
We make the bike look fast even when it’s standing still. Our job is a mix of art and hardcore engineering, focusing on lightweight carbon fiber parts. We build the "skin and bones" of the machine, ensuring it’s as light, strong, and sleek as possible.
We are looking for:
CAD Designers
FEM Simulation e.g. for Chassis and Swing Arm
CFD Simulations for Aerodynamic Performance
MATLAB for Analysis and Development

You’re building the center piece of the bike. Your job is to design a lightweight, high-strength carbon frame that can handle intense cornering and braking forces. You’ll take ideas from a blank CAD screen, run structural simulations, and finally decide on how to buid it.
We are seeking an experienced Design Engineer to spearhead the CAD development and structural architecture of our high-performance carbon fiber swingarm. A motorcycle swingarm is one of the most safety-critical and dynamically complex components on the vehicle. This is not a role for geometric drafting; it requires an engineer who can blend advanced 3D surfacing with a deep, physics-based understanding of how composite materials behave under extreme, multi-axial stress. You will own the component from initial aerodynamic and structural surfacing through to manufacturing-ready tooling design
