Application
High-Voltage Drivetrain Engineer
As a High-Voltage Drivetrain Engineer at HUST, you will play a key role in designing, implementing, and maintaining the most critical parts of our solar car. You will be responsible for ensuring that the drivetrain system, including the battery pack, motor controller, and motor, is reliable, safe, and optimized for performance over 3,000 km of racing in the Australian outback.
role overview
Learn about battery management systems (BMS) and electrochemical cells
Research and evaluate optimal battery cell configurations
Configure, calibrate, and test the BMS
Gain hands-on knowledge of high-voltage safety mechanisms and standards
Learn about BLDC motor controllers and high-efficiency drive systems
Set up, tune, and operate a BLDC motor for maximum efficiency
Collaborate closely with other subteams to integrate the drivetrain with the rest of the car
Troubleshoot, test, and refine the drivetrain system under real-world conditions
As a part of this role you will:
You are curious, motivated, and eager to learn. Ideally, you:
Want to pursue a future career in high-voltage systems such as electrical drives, renewable energy, or battery development and R&D
Enjoy problem-solving and are not afraid to take initiative
Are comfortable working both independently and as part of a team
Have a basic understanding of electronics or power systems (preferred but not mandatory)
Who you are
A unique opportunity to be part of an international project with high visibility
Hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology in batteries, motor controllers, and motors
Practical training in innovation and cross-disciplinary collaboration
Access to a network of team members, companies, and alumni
What we offer
At HUST, members are encouraged to explore new ideas and find creative solutions independently. At the same time, you will not be alone.
