Embedded Systems
embedded systems
-
As Electronics Engineer you are responsible for the embedded system, which interfaces with all the sensors and actuators in the car. The embedded systems make sure all the software and control can communicate with the powertrain and fuel cell systems, so we can drive as fast as possible! Together with the software department, you get the change to design, test and manage all the PCBs and sensors in the car.
-
At the Software department, you will be responsible for programming the microcontrollers in the embedded system of the car. This ranges from writing low-level drivers that directly interface with the hardware, sensors and actuators to writing Finite State Machines that run the control systems and manage subsystems of the car. Therefore, you are the fabric that connects the electronics to the control systems. Software tests and reviews the code in a way it’s optimised for the embedded environment of the car. Another project the software department focuses on is telemetry, which is the real-time transfer and analysis of data from the car to the pit wall.
-
As the Embedded system integration engineer you are responsible for definition and design of car-wide sequences such as the startup and shutdown sequences. Furthermore, you are the engineer who understands the interfacing between all electrical components in the car. Making sure the ECU is guarding the safety of the car, but also make sure power is correctly distributed over our car. Lastly, the embedded system integration engineer will form the bridge between the powertrain department and the electrical department, connecting HV systems to LV systems.
Simulation & Control
simulation&control
-
At Simulation & Control, it is your priority to design and maintain control systems for the car. These range from systems that manage our energy levels, to systems that control the slip of the wheels. Simulations are used to test these control systems.
Furthermore, you will optimise the performance of the car with several simulators, which can be as simple as a script or as advanced as a full driver-in-the-loop simulator.
Finally, you will interface with almost every other technical department to make models for them that they can use to design their parts more optimally.
Fuel Cell & Powertrain
-
As the Chief Fuel Cell and Powertrain, your role is crucial in the development and optimisation of the car. Your responsibilities encompass overseeing the design, integration and performance of the fuel cell systems and the powertrain that propels our car.
This means that you have an in-depth understanding of the fuel cell and powertrain systems of the car. You will create the planning of the department, together with the Chief Engineer and Project Manager, in order to use the engineering resources for the most critical projects. If a project spans over multiple departments, it is up to you, as the Chief Fuel Cell and Powertrain, to make this process go as smoothly as possible. Apart from this, you will also work closely with suppliers and partners to look for the best parts and solutions for the car's systems.
Fuel Cell & Powertrain
-
As Fuel Cell Integration Engineer, you will make sure that the stack works in optimal conditions. This means that you make a system that brings down the 700 bar hydrogen to the perfect operating conditions for the ejector and the stack, the Fuel Cell department humidifies and pressurise the air and cools down our car. You will also be responsible for the Balance of Plant, so generating all the power for the car. As Cooling Engineer at Forze, you have a very important role, which is keeping all the systems of the Forze IX, such as the fuel cell and the accumulator, cool. In our car the challenge of doing this is very high, because a fuel cell operates at way lower temperatures than combustion engines.
-
As a Wiring Harness Engineer, your role involves connecting sensors in the racing car, emphasising precision in wiring. You collaborate with different departments, ensuring an integrated system. Testing is crucial for validating subsystems, and your insights contribute to refining technology on the track.
Business & Operations Positions
As a Business & Operations team member at Forze, you will have an exciting role in supporting our vision to showcase the potential of hydrogen technology and its significance in the sustainable future of mobility. You will be responsible for various aspects of our team’s operations, partnerships, and marketing efforts, working closely with the team members to drive our message to the public and ensure smooth collaboration with partner companies. Business & Operations consists of the following departments with corresponding responsibilities:
-
Utilise our hydrogen-powered racing car, its technology, and the team’s drive to effectively communicate our message to the public.
Manage and maintain our social media channels, creating compelling content to engage our audience.
Produce video and photo content, write articles, and maintain close contact with the press to generate media coverage and increase brand visibility.
-
Organise and coordinate Forze’s events, including external events and company visits.
Engage in networking opportunities at external events, fostering relationships with key stakeholders in the industry.
Plan and manage logistics related to tests, races, and other activities, ensuring efficient operations.
Collaborate with team members to improve various facilities such as office spaces, workshop, and machine park.
Manage Forze’s carpark.
