Midnight Sun’s Battery Box Team is in charge of giving the car power to move. Our battery pack is essential for two functions:

...

  • A student passionate about design (interest in cars and batteries is a bonus)

  • A hard worker, with the ability to complete tasks with minimal supervision (but we’re always here to help)

  • A quick problem solver who isn't afraid to think outside the box

  • Willing to learn new skills and improve your existing skills

  • Strong time management skills for daily tasks and able to work on multiple projects simultaneously 

Good to Have/ What You’ll Learn

Where to go from this page

To get you accustomed to navigating our massive and often confusing Confluence, on the left sidebar, please head to the May 22 Battery 101 Part 1 recordingpre-recorded recordings:

Mechanical space > MSXIV > Electrical Integration > Battery System > Zoom Meeting Recordings > May 22 Battery 101 Part 1
Please watch all the recordings under the Zoom Meeting Recordings, then check out the Intro Project

You should skim through these videos. They might be A LOT to take in at first and you probably won’t understand some of the things that Micah talks about. DON’T WORRY! As you spend more time working on tasks you’ll remember some of what you heard in these videos and it’ll make a lot more sense. In the future its really useful to re-watch these videos when working on tasks as it can help you better understand how your task fits into the bigger picture!

After, check out the Intro Project!

And then, schedule a 1-1 with Owen and Micah so we can get to know you and learn about your goals with the team :)

PS: There are general mechanical seminars about all sorts of interesting things (Drawings, CAD, Composites, Materials Testing). They are great to check out to learn more about the car and engineering skills. More details to come in the check-ins!
