Mentoring Formula Student Electric Race Car Engineering Teams
Case study showing how Flex engineers mentored Esslingen University students on electric race car electronics, PCB layout, EMC, and safety development.
Flex automotive engineers supported the E.Stall Formula Student team with electronic schematics, PCB layout optimization, component arrangement, conductor track design, and EMC training. The collaboration prepared students for professional automotive engineering challenges including cost, time, and regulatory pressures. The project also served as a recruitment channel for future engineers.
Flex engineers delivered targeted mentoring on electric vehicle electronics and PCB design
Training covered EMC fundamentals, safety development, and circuit board layout
Students competed in Formula Student events judged on engineering, cost, and business plans
Collaboration helped attract and develop future automotive engineering talent
Project demonstrated practical application of electronics skills in high-performance EV design
