Team Structure

We have shuffled around our team structure to better handle the increasing importance of business and management to the team and to divide up tasks more evenly amongst individuals. Learning from previous problems of an overwhelmed financial team leader dealing with all the business aspects of solar car, we have divided up the financial team into a number of smaller sub-teams with more specific responsibilities. Additionally, we have introduced the strategy and aero sub-teams to place more emphasis on important optimization aspects of the car that had previously been secondary to the overall physical design of the car.

Despite the division of the team into many sub-teams, however, positions within the teams are not fixed and members often move from sub-team to sub-team, filling in wherever they are needed and engaging in whatever disciplines are interesting to them. We are also proud to admit that as a student-led organization, the structure of our team is very flat with little distinctions made between team leaders and other members of the team. We aim for a collaborative environment where everyone can freely communicate with each other, propose and engage in their own projects, and contribute substantially to the design and construction of the car.
