## About the role

If you were the person on your team who got things built, stayed late, solved ugly problems, learned whatever was needed, and refused to quit until the car worked, we want to talk. You do not need a perfect resume. You do not need years of industry experience. You do not need to have had the fanciest title on the team. You need grit, horsepower, humility, technical curiosity, and the will to become great.

## What they're looking for

- Formula SAE experience
- Recent grad, soon-to-graduate student, or exceptional student willing to take a break from school to join a startup
- Evidence that you have built real hardware, not just worked on presentations
- High grit, high urgency, high ownership
- Strong mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, or systems instincts
- Willingness to learn anything required to get the aircraft flying
