A new aspect to Formula Student race cars that have appeared in the last couple of years is the use of active/powered ground effect. This idea consists of mounting fans to the car, in order to suck air from underneath the vehicle, basically like a big vacuum cleaner. This will in turn give us a lot of downforce, even in low speed corners! For this, Revolve NTNU is looking for someone to develop a new low voltage battery to power the fans. The person we are looking for is one who has some experience in CAD and an understanding of batteries.
Power Systems is the high-voltage group of revolve NTNU. It is also where the electrical systems meet the mechanical world. After one year in this group, you will have hands-on experience with Solidworks CAD (software used for 3D-modelling), high-voltage batteries, a variety of cooling solutions, or wire harness manufacturing.
The group works with
As a group leader you will be a colleague who your group members can discuss design ideas with, although your main focus will be having an overview and clear idea of how the year will progress, alongside helping your group with a lot of more organizational tasks such as orders, economics, sponsors, planning and attending meetings with the board and other group leaders. This means as a group leader you will have the ability to affect the decisions Revolve NTNU as a student organization will make during your project year.
After a year as group leader for Power Systems you will have experience as a leader and co-worker, as well as more insight into the technicalities of the car.

Your work and research will directly impact the car’s overall performance, power delivery, and energy efficiency.
Your responsibilities is focused on sourcing and testing of suitable battery cells for the upcoming 2025 team. Finding the best performing battery cell is crucial for the design of the 600V battery pack.
For the Aerodynamics team, the primary focus is on maximizing vehicle performance through precise manipulation of airflow. This involves the creation of an optimized wing package that enhances grip, hereby increasing the cornering abilities, by generating increased downforce.
To achieve this, the wing package is methodically developed using a combination of iterative 3D modeling in CAD (Computer Aided Design), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations for accurate airflow analysis, and validation of simulation results. The team also creates the design of robust fastening mechanisms capable of withstanding aerodynamic forces. These fasteners are crafted using CAD software and the Finite Element Method (FEM). The wing elements and fasteners are produced using advanced carbon fiber resin casts, and different production methods to create aluminum components.
Ultimately, your contribution will be essential in collectively crafting a system that significantly shapes the car's performance, making a substantial impact on its overall capabilities.
As group leader of the Aerodynamics team you are responsible for the design and production of the aerodynamic package. This means leading a team of individuals purely focused on increasing performance of the vehicle. You should give the technical members the best possible basis for working on their systems, and help out where you can. This requires keeping a sustainable working environment and a good workflow which fits the members of your group, and further gets them working together.
Being group leader for the Aerodynamics team gives you a project year which varies a lot. You get the opportunity to test your leadership skills, theoretical and practical understanding of a Formula Student car, and be a part of a team containing some of the most dedicated students at NTNU. Through a project year you will earn experience and knowledge hard to be found elsewhere!
The aero package goes through a CFD simulation in STAR-CCM+ and Revolve NTNU has developed a script and method for meshing. This gives results that are tested during the testing season. To build upon these results and improve the simulation, this position is key. To also know the theoretical performance of the vehicle you will be responsible for the validation and verification of the results from simulations.
You will start work before the summer and continue throughout the summer as well. If you think aerodynamics are interesting and want to find unknown potential for the next race car, apply for Aerodynamic Simulation and Validation.
The Chassis group plans, designs and produces the chassis of the car. The main structure is made out of carbon fiber and the group is responsible for integrating all other systems that are either to be inserted, or attached to the car's monocoque. Because of this, the group must have a good overview of all other systems of the car while also making sure the chassis reaches the requirements needed in order to create the fastest car. Weight, stiffness and safety are some of the parameters the group must take into consideration while producing the monocoque.
The main thing that differs Chassis from other groups is the production period. As a member, you will travel to Kongsberg and produce the monocoque in the premises of Kongsberg Gruppen, which has Norway’s best composite production premises. This provides a unique experience in working with an advanced carbon fiber structure.
As a group leader for the chassis group, you will be responsible for building the car’s monocoque in carbon fiber. The monocoque is the car's main support structure and shall work as a bracket for all other systems on the car and be an aerodynamic device. This means that you as a group leader will not only gain good knowledge about the monocoque but all other systems. You will be responsible for the production and follow-up of the rest of the group. The monocoque is a large and complex system with many parts, so there is a lot to keep track of. You will immerse yourself in carbon fiber and laminate theory, and gain a unique experience in the production of a monocoque made of carbon fiber and aluminum honeycomb. This provides an invaluable opportunity to build up competence in composites that few other students have!
The Suspension & Drivetrain group has the responsibility of delivering all the parts connecting the chassis to the ground, with the desired performance and within a set timeframe.
This includes the suspension, motor, gearbox, upright and rims. In Revolve NTNU we have used a system for many years with the motor and gearbox housed inside each wheel with the rim directly mounted to the gearbox, allowing all four wheels to be driven individually.
As the group leader you will lead members that will be responsible for individual systems. You are going to plan the project year, budget and production for your group and follow up that deadlines are met. You will set the goals for the group on how the group will improve in the coming year.
Our car uses a planetary gearbox and radial flux motor housed within the wheel directly connected to the upright. The gearbox allows us to run the optimal gear ratio, so that we can utilize the power and torque from the motor. The motor and gearbox is one tightly packed assembly that is critical for the vehicle's performance. In this position you will be responsible for the gearbox as well as the mechanical implementation of the motor.
Through this position you will be developing the gearbox and motor and integrate them in the inwheel assembly, together with the upright designer. In this position you will learn to use tools like CAD, Abaqus, and KISSsoft.
The upright is the bracket holding all the parts in the wheel assembly together. Parts connected to the upright include motor, a-arms, tie-rod, brake caliper, as well as being a part of the gearbox where the rim is mounted. The design of the upright requires that you have good communication with the neighboring system. The upright might just be a bracket, but excluding the monocoque it is the biggest with the most complex load case. In this position you will be working with the interacting systems to make the best overall in-wheel assembly. You will design the Upright using simulations and topology studies in Abaqus to find the balance between weight and compliance.
In the Vehicle Dynamics position in Revolve NTNU, you will be responsible for the mechanical vehicle dynamic design and a part of the Suspension and Drivetrain group. The rest of the mechanical department will design their parts around your suspension geometry. Your work will be directly linked to the performance of the vehicle, making the position highly influential on the overall design.
You will develop tools in MATLAB/Python to find the optimal suspension kinematics/dynamics (tyre movement relative to the chassis and the ground), based on sensor data from competitions. You are also responsible for crafting test plans for the mechanical tuning of the vehicle as well as working closely with the drivers to identify potential performance gains. This implies communication with multiple groups to ensure maximum performance.
Driver Interface is responsible for designing key components, such as the braking system, steering system, and the ergonomic features of the driver's seat. The team focuses on creating autonomous mechanical interactions and managing all mechanical systems around the driver. Using various production methods, the group collaboratively produces components to contribute to Revolve NTNUs overall success.
As the leader of the Driver Interface team, your role is pivotal in connecting the group with the broader Revolve NTNU organization. Your team oversees systems for driver interaction and ensures the integration of autonomous functionality. Your responsibilities include planning the production timeline and assembly processes. Despite not being directly involved in hands-on tasks, your flexibility is crucial for providing support where needed.
The Control Systems group is all about race performance. Using advanced estimation- and control theory, we enhance the traction, handling and stability of the car and develop systems to assist the driver. We develop multiple driving modes with very different characteristics to make the car behave optimally, whether in a tight corner or a straight line. The group also does modeling and simulation, where we aim to build an accurate digital representation of our car. Through simulations, we are able to see the effects of different car parameters and setups, helping us make good design choices without physical testing.
The group works with
As the group leader for the Control Systems group, you will lead an agile software development team with a wide variety of possible focus areas and have a direct impact on not only the manual performance of the racecar but also its autonomous capabilities. The position offers the possibility of both technical work, mainly Control, Estimation, Modelling & Simulation or vehicle analysis, as well as project management.
This control systems engineer is responsible for developing our Torque Vectoring algorithm, which takes advantage of having one motor in each wheel. Through allocating different forces to each wheel 400 times every second, the algorithm enhances the vehicles cornering ability, by increasing tyre grip and responsiveness, while simultaneously offering traction control during acceleration and braking. This position also has the opportunity to dive into vehicle state estimation, where data from more than 100 sensors is used to accurately determine the state of the car at all times.
The Data Engineering group at Revolve NTNU is a vital part of the organization's operations, focusing on the exploitation of data collected from sensors or generated by simulations and aims to provide a competitive edge through enhanced data analysis. The Data Engineering Group is responsible for ensuring the accessibility and security of the organization’s data and facilitating its analysis by developing the necessary tools. This includes tasks such as overseeing our real-time telemetry system, our data storage solutions, and developing data analysis tools for members from all departments of the team.
As the group leader for the Data Engineering group, you will lead an agile software development team to provide the organization with the right data during competitions at Formula Student to make informed decisions and drive the success of the organization.
The Autonomous Systems group ensures the car can drive on its own, without a driver. An intelligent autonomous race car must be able to map and perceive its surroundings to navigate unknown territories using LiDAR, SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping) and path planning. The group develops the logic that works as the car's eyes, ears and brain, making it able to understand its environment. In other words, the group converts sensor input to meaningful information about the vehicle and its environment. In addition to this, the group is responsible for the car’s autonomous control system. This is the system that enables the car to act on the sensor input, making it able to drive from A to B.
As the group leader for the Autonomous Systems group, you will lead an agile software development team iterating on a longstanding and advanced autonomous pipeline. This position has leeway for the candidate to produce more technical work or focus on project management, depending on how the group is structured.
