Team Structure

Based on the team’s development needs, we have created the “Function Owner” (FO) system, which breaks down traditional boundaries between technical groups, enhances the overall vehicle design capabilities of members, and provides comprehensive skill development.

In a season, we set up multiple sub-projects, such as battery assembly, wheel assembly, ergonomics, composite layup design, business activities, etc. According to project requirements, we select outstanding members and appoint FOs to manage project progress. For technical knowledge inheritance, we have established four technical groups – Chassis, Body, Electronic Control, and Electrical – plus an Operations group (Business + Management), where members learn corresponding skills and knowledge.

Under the new team structure, a member joins DIAN Racing in a specific role and enters a group, learning knowledge and skills, and cultivating excellent engineering thinking and innovative design methods. During work, they will be involved in multiple projects and project groups, practicing engineering abilities, exploring themselves, and breaking through limits. Following the growth path of probationary member, core member, and key member, they become a new force in the future of new energy vehicles amidst the wave of electrification and intelligence in the automotive industry.

Each position’s assignments are divided into 3 levels. Each level has 1–2 questions. Each position requires completing 3–4 questions in total.

Level 1 questions are very easy. You can solve them by searching online, consulting materials, or reviewing textbooks; a formula or a chapter summary might be all you need. Types include calculation problems, short-answer questions, and problems solvable with tools you already know. Autonomous Team applicants only need to complete Level 1 questions and submit on time to qualify for an interview.

Level 2 questions are slightly more challenging, testing knowledge and skills learned in your freshman year. You may also need to independently study some new theoretical knowledge before answering. Electric Team applicants only need to complete Level 2 questions and submit on time to qualify for an interview.

For Level 1 and Level 2 questions, you must work independently. We do not restrict consulting materials or communicating with others, but any use of others’ work must be clearly indicated.

Level 3 questions are the most difficult. Completing all or part of them will significantly boost your evaluation. These questions may involve using professional software; technical positions include but are not limited to CATIA, SolidWorks, MATLAB/Simulink, ANSYS, etc.; business and management positions require using Office software, but other tools are also welcome. Some Level 3 questions may build on conclusions from Level 2. For Level 3 questions, working in teams of 2 is allowed, but you must clearly state the form of cooperation and each person’s contributions. We believe good teamwork ability will also be a plus for you and your partner.

During the interview, we will ask questions about the assignment you submitted and may expand on it. For business positions, you may need to prepare a 3–5-minute presentation.
