Who is Lightyear?
Lightyear is an innovative and progressive scale-up with one mission; offering clean mobility for everyone, everywhere! Lightyear originates from the multiple world champion of the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge® Cruiser Class, Solar Team Eindhoven. With Stella and Stella Lux this team developed a solar powered, 4 person, road legal car. Lightyear was officially established in 2016 aiming to make this groundbreaking technology accessible to everyone! In 2016 it started with 5 visionaries. At the beginning of 2018 Lightyear had grown to 40 highly motivated people. Today, Lightyear consists of nearly 150 employees and keeps on growing. Lightyear has its own production facility and in the summer of 2019 we moved to our brand new office. This growth will continue in the coming years. For that reason we are looking for talented interns to strengthen the company and contribute in achieving our mission!
Which team will you become part of?
You will be part of the aerodynamics team, that currently is formed by two engineers. They spend most of their time designing, solving and post-processing car shapes in order to improve the efficiency of the car. They are willing to get help from an A-player that is capable of speed up the pre and post processing of those designs.
Your personal mission
There are many tasks involving an aerodynamics engineer position, and one of the most important things is to keep the software and custom made scripts up to date. You will be introduced to the software used in the team and help to improve the current scripts, propose and execute changes and also develop brand new ones from scratch. There are new challenges such as implementing new software and some of them using custom made scripts.
