Mechanical Engineer vacancy

General description HARD

HARD is a multidisciplinary formula student team consisting of motivated students from a variety of different studies from the Hanze UAS and University of Groningen. As a team we try to build a race car which we can compete with at a formula student event. HARD has different teams, where the mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and driverless engineering teams fall under the engineering department and the marketing, event and acquisition teams fall under the communication department. All volunteers spend one or more years with the team in order to apply the theoretical knowledge they gathered in a practical environment.

Description of function

As a mechanical engineer at HARD you will be part of the design process of a formula student race car. From designing the part to producing the part and putting it on the car. You will learn and apply new skills to improve your engineering skills and also develop your skills outside of your study. With a more business-like approach you will get to know a different side from mechanical engineering.

What we are looking for in you?

•    Interested in cars/the formula student competition
•    Motivated to learn and apply new skills
•    Someone who can take initiative
•    Someone who works well in teams
•    Studying Mechanical engineering/Werktuigbouwkunde

What we are offering back?

In short, we offer a platform for
professional development and learning. Being a part of the team comes with responsibilities, as such each
responsibility provides tasks that allow you to develop very tangible
and specific skills. These skills will therefore provide the backbone to
your professional career.

•     The ability to see your design become real
•     Team building activities
•     Office and workshop to work in
•     Possible participation at a formula student event
•     Chance of driving a formula student race car.
