About The Position

Smith Engineering Hyperloop (formerly Queen's Hyperloop Design Team) is an internationally acclaimed student team that seeks to innovate the future of green transportation. Each year, we push ourselves and the boundaries of global transformation. We seek a path of continuous growth and are constantly searching for new talents to build our team. If you are curious, learning-driven, and looking to make real change in the world, SHDT is the place for you. Our team consists of 4 unique branches: Technical Branch – Work on designing and building our Hyperloop pod prototype. Research and Development Branch – Develop and publish Hyperloop technologies beyond just the Hyperloop pod. Business and Logistics Branch – Strategically grow and manage the team’s assets. Tunneling and Boring Branch – Design and build a miniature tunnel-boring machine (TBM) for Hyperloop infrastructure development. Each branch consists of multiple subteams which focus on specific aspects of the branch. At SHDT, we believe that anybody can be a part of any branch. Our learning-first culture enables members to develop the skills necessary to succeed in any branch regardless of their academic background. If you have curiosity and passion for any area of Hyperloop, we have the resources to help you develop them! The Systems Design Manager is responsible for leading a team to integrate the mechanical and electrical components of the Hyperloop pod. They will communicate with the other sub-teams to ensure systems work together, and will support the modelling and building of each system to ensure alignment. They will maintain a full system model, run tests to determine final pod behaviour, and ensure the pod aligns with competition specifications.
