The Mechanical Team is a very large subteam comprised of sections including Dynamics, Structures (Aerobody and Chassis), Interiors and Battery Box. To give a general summary of each of the sections:
Dynamics is in charge of all things that move: suspension, steering and brakes. We work with the design, testing, and assembly of these systems with the rest of the car.
Structures is in charge …
Battery Box is charge of giving the car power to move. We assemble hundreds of lithium-ion battery cells into a battery pack that provides the necessary voltage and current for our motors.
Interiors is in charge …

Your Fall 2020 Subteam Leads & Project Managers
Adrian Au - Interiors Technical Lead
About Me
Heeeeelllo! My name is Adrian and I just started my 4A term in Mech. Eng. I've been on the team since 2017 where I did a lot of work with composites and the design of the previous car’s aerobody. I’m the technical lead for interiors (best team everrrrr!): a not-so-small, diverse team responsible for the design, manufacture, and execution of MSXIV's interior. This includes everything from ergonomics to driver ventilation to interior material selection.
Talk to Me About
I'm interested in industrial design and product design and have done my last few co-ops at Ecobee, North, and ATS. My dream job would be running my own start-up where I get to tackle important global problems by applying my engineering and design skills. I love a well-brewed cup of coffee, working with my hands, and watching the latest This Old Tony video.
Kristen Shiozaki - Interiors Project Manager
About Me
Nice to meet you! I’m in my 2B school term in SYDE, with a background in UI/UX Design and QA. I joined back in Fall 2018 on the Business and Interiors teams. This term, working alongside Catherine as the Operations Manager and I’ll also helping PM Hardware and Interiors while leading Business. I’m also leading the design of the Infotainment system under Interiors.
Talk to Me About
You can ask me about the other subteams I’m a part of and I’m also in the job search realm for UI / UX Design. Also down to chat about sports and my weird music tastes (Cpop, Kpop, Jpop, Instrumental, Classical… yikes)
