Electrical

For a solar-powered car, there is no division whose projects are more essential or diverse than electrical. From the solar array that powers our car to the electronic steering wheel, members of the Electrical division use industry-standard CAD softwares, commercial product research, and engineering principles to design the most efficient and reliable highest-performing electrical system that powers our car almost 2,000 miles across the Australian Outback.

Our electrical division's work is highly interdisciplinary - you might work closely with the aero division to optimize the shape of the car for both aerodynamic and array performance, or with the mechanical division, to determine the packaging of our powertrain and battery, or with the operations division, to source the materials and components used to bring your design into the car.

As a member of Race Crew, you will be responsible for the fabrication, implementation, and validation of the car's electrical components. On race, you will monitor and maintain the electrical systems keeping the car safe and at optimal performance.
