REQUIREMENTS:
If you’ve always wanted to look at the growth of a team and the effect of PR, this could be the position for you!
Within the Partnerships function there are two main responsibilities; acquisitions and external relations. The acquisitions aspect entails creating new connections with (potential) partners. You are effectively responsible for the flow of money into the project. The external relations aspect is all about maintaining a good relationship with the existing partners and upholding our part of the deal.
The Partnerships function is executed by 2 people. Therefore, you will be working together closely with someone else!
REQUIREMENTS
As PR Manager, you are responsible for the output of Eco-Runner to the world. You will be working in the Operations department to translate the message of Eco-Runner and reach as many people as possible. You will be working on growing the Eco-Runner socials, setting up PR campaigns and determining new ways to get a broad audience.
As Events manager your job will be mainly focused on two things: organizing our own events, and setting up the logistics for the events that Eco-Runner attends for our partners.
When organizing our own events, such as the design presentation and the car reveal, you are responsible for the entire event. You will oversee the logistics, the content of the event, the contact with stakeholders and the facilities. The events we organize are very important since it’s a great way to spread our message of a sustainable future!
To set up the marketing and promotion of the events you will work together with the rest of the Operations Department a lot.
REQUIREMENTS
As a graphic designer, you will design all forms of graphical communication, from merchandise to promotional content such as posters and banners. You will visualize Eco-Runner in the best way possible, catching the eye of our followers. Beside creating promotional content and merchandise (banners, T-shirts etc.), you will be able to elevate the professional appearance of Eco-Runner to the next level, the car wrap! The look of the new car will be designed by you!
You would require knowledge of designing programs such as adobe illustrator, indesign, photoshop and preferably video editing skills with adobe premiere, after effects etc.
REQUIREMENTS
As the UX/UI Designer of Eco-Runner Team Delft you create and iterate end-to-end user experiences. You will convert complex technology into an understandable and visualised story. During next year you will translate the project into style guides, video’s, renders, presentations and maintain the website. You will be collaborating directly with the rest of the operations department as well as the management.
Since you are responsible for the way we present our project to the world you will be involved in a lot of different projects. Therefore, you are required to be a team player and have good communications and social skills. You must be able to translate a difficult concept into understandable text and animations.
REQUIREMENTS
As the scalability manager of the Eco-Runner team your goal is to show the power of hydrogen and our project to the world, by educating and promoting a large audience about its possibilities. In short, you represent the team by being the sustainability expert and show society the social relevance of our project. You will attend panel discussions and events, but also make futuristic renders or podcasts (check out De Waterstofpodcast!). The Scalability function is very free; it will be entirely up to you to make the Eco-Runner project more scalable; reach as many people as possible and educate them about hydrogen and our project, while forming a vision of our perfect sustainable future.
REQUIREMENTS
As a certification manager, you will be critical in making the Eco-Runner street legal. Your main task is to keep a good overview of the legal aspects needed to certify the car and maintain close contact with the RDW. This means that you’ll be the bridge between the technical part of the project and the legal communication, keeping you in the loop on most technical decisions. Therefore you will keep a close eye on the whole process of certifying the world’s most efficient hydrogen-powered car.
REQUIREMENTS
REQUIREMENTS
As the structures engineers of Eco-Runner Team Delft you will design the body of the next Eco-Runner from a structural point of view. You get to design the structural lay-out of the vehicle as well as the materials to be used. You will find the perfect balance between lowering mass while maintaining strength. This requires knowledge about structures and composites. Determining the lay-up of the to be used composites is one of the biggest tasks to perform. You will do this by creating your own Finite Element Model with state-of-the-art FEM software. During the process you will work closely together with companies in the field and learn from their expertise.
While designing the structure you will work closely together with all the other engineering departments, as well as with the other body department members. On top of that you will be producing your own structure yourself!
REQUIREMENTS
As the aerodynamics engineer you are responsible for the shape of the car. You will find an optimal shape for minimising the aerodynamic resistance and then produce it yourself! Throughout this process you will be assisted by specialist CFD companies, so you can also learn from them and gain experience in this field. Software to be used includes CATIA for modelling, X-Foil for quick aerodynamic analysis and X-flow for more detailed analysis.
For the validation of your aerodynamics designs you will set up your own wind tunnel experiments at the TU Delft: scaled tests in the Low Turbulence during the final design phase and a full-scale test in the Open Jet Facility during the test phase.
Once the production phase starts you will be working together with the other engineers in the body department to build the outside of the car. In this way, you will learn how to work with carbon-fibre and gain hands-on experience with working with these materials.
REQUIREMENTS
As a Body Production Engineer, you are responsible for the production of the new Eco-Runner car. You will be in close contact with the rest of the body department to determine the right materials and production methods to create the desired car. During the design phase, you will ensure that the designed body parts can be produced the way they are designed, and to organise logistics towards production. The production of the car can’t happen in the Dreamhall since the car is too big, so you will reach out to partners who can offer us a place to produce! To prepare for the production phase you will create drawings, production plans, ordering lists and execute many more diverse tasks. Once the production phase starts, you will be working together with the other engineers in the body department to build the vehicle. If you always wanted to learn how to work with carbon-fibre, or to gain hands-on experience within a large student team, this function might be the one for you!
REQUIREMENTS
The Vehicle Dynamics department designs and produces all the mechanics within the car. The Vehicle Dynamics contains 5 subsystems: the front suspension, the rear suspension, the steering system, the wheels and the brakes. As the Chief Vehicle Dynamics, you will oversee the design and production of each of these subsystems. Therefore, you must be able to switch between these subsystems with ease. You will be responsible for the quality of these subsystems and making sure that they fit together perfectly. Next to leading and overseeing the department, you are also expected to do a fair bit of engineering yourself! Therefore, experience in lathing, milling and a good understanding of mechanical engineering are preferred.
As the Chief you will also be the contact person for the Chief Engineer and the Project Manager. It’s your job to keep them convinced of the success of your department. You must be able to answer their questions and you must make sure that the vehicle dynamics department can uphold the quality demands of the Chief Engineer and the deadlines that are set by the Project Manager.
REQUIREMENTS
As the Vehicle Dynamics engineer of the Eco-Runner Team Delft, you will be working on all the mechanics of the new Eco-Runner! Together with the Chief Vehicle Dynamics, you will be responsible for the front and rear suspension, the braking system, the steering system, braking and the wheels. During the design process, you are free to choose your own path, to make sure you make the most efficient design choices. You will learn how to make efficient design choices, considering the quality, producibility, weight and money. Next to working together with your own department, this function includes a lot of communication with all the other engineering departments. For example, with the body department, to make sure all your components fit into the body design and together you will optimize the forces that the Vehicle Dynamics transfer to the bodywork. During the production phase you will produce most of your self-made designs yourself using the machines in the D:Dreamhall. This includes machinery like milling, lathing and CNC in which you will follow courses as well.
