Formula Student Technical Manager

• Sep 2022 - Present

For my final year Formula Student is incorporated into our design and vehicle development modules. After interviewing I was appointed as Technical Manager. This role requires an active initiative in all technical aspects of the design and build. Some of my responsibilities are to set and design the technical scope, analysis of previous events to specify targets for this years build, failure mode and effects analysis and overseeing the power train, chassis & suspension and electrical & safety areas. By analysing previous years results for teams across the competition it has allowed me to set a clear technical scope and target for my team to aim for. Being involved with the management aspects I have actively set procedures to ensure the consistency across the board for design approvals and many other processes. We are currently in the design phase with the aim to be moving on to manufacturing in the new year. Show less

2022 iMechE Formula Student - SilverstoneFor this university project I assisted in the build and event management of the car, taking more of an observational role to identify key areas of strengths and weaknesses to improve for 2023. As this is not my project and is supposed to be solely final year students I volunteered to assist in the build of the car to ensure that the car was ready to go for the event. Over the course of the five days at Silverstone I assisted where it was needed with getting the car ready for scrutineering, tilt, noise and brake tests and the dynamic events. Besides this I also spoke to various other universities to gain an insight into how they have obtained sponsorship and the organisational structure to identify areas in which we can improve our own. Following this I spoke to different companies to gain contacts for potential sponsorships and to assist us in the future for converting from an ICE to an EV.2021 Walter Hayes TrophyWith my University competing in the Walter Hayes Trophy (WHT), I have been fortunate enough to get the opportunity to work with a team of three running the #43 car. In the run up to WHT I had the workshop time to practice mid-session inspections and re-preps for when we were at WHT, along with assisting in prepping the car for the event. During the event I got the chance to run the car along with suggesting setup changes to gain a better performance out of the car. In between re-prep and sessions I assisted with driver analysis and performance and coaching sessions which I feel was a invaluable experience to gain extra knowledge from exceptional people.- Car Prep- Inspection- Maintenance- Car Setup - Driver Analysis, Performance and Coaching Show less
