Chassis
CAD, strength of materials, materials, welding, reading the rules, dimensional inspection.

A Formula Student team needs designers, electronics engineers, builders, analysts, organisers and communicators.
Here, a calculation, a diagram or a part never stays in a file: it has to work on the car.
The EIGSI Formula Team was founded by students with a passion for cars. All the work is done on a voluntary basis, and it lets you train, in real conditions, for the job you want to build a career in: cost, deadline, regulation, manufacturing and validation constraints. Responsibilities grow with experience: you can start by discovering a tool and end up owning a complete system.

Each member follows a part or a topic from start to finish. Here is what that means, in practice, over a season.




You do not need to master the whole list to apply. These skills mainly show what is useful, or what can be learned, in each department.
CAD, strength of materials, materials, welding, reading the rules, dimensional inspection.
Kinematics, suspension, braking, vehicle dynamics, data acquisition and set-up.
Thermodynamics, engine, intake, exhaust, cooling, transmission and calibration.
Electrics, wiring harness, sensors, ECU, safety, diagnostics and programming.
Surface CAD, CFD, composites, manufacturing and integration of cooling airflow.
Structural analysis, thermal, dynamics, data processing and correlation with testing.
Architecture, packaging, interfaces, bill of materials, assembly and overall consistency.
Track preparation, checklists, set-up, technical logistics, testing and incident analysis.
Costing and justifying parts, manufacturing processes, carbon footprint, and preparing the business plan event.
Photo, video, social media, partnerships, event organisation and life of the association.
The Communication and Management team organises everything that keeps the association alive: race weekends, afterworks, induction weekends and the departure for Silverstone.

The form prepares an application email in your mail app. You can then reread it, attach a CV if needed and send it.
This information is used only to review your application and to get back to you. It is not shared with anyone outside the team and is kept for as long as you take part, or for two years at most after our last exchange if your application is not accepted.
The form prepares an email in your own mail application: nothing is sent until you send it yourself. To see or have your information deleted, write to communication@eigsiformulateam.fr: we reply within one month at most. Find out more.
The departments, the car and our working method are described on the site. You can also write to us before choosing an area.
