Hello CEE community,
My name is Andoni Telonidis, I’m the Structures Lead of Washington Hyperloop, and I’m writing this to the CEE department to promote our recruitment application:
Washington Hyperloop Spring 2024 applications are currently open!
Spring 2024 Application: https://forms.gle/icNdxjvZ3N7zZcB66
Applications are competitive and the final date to apply is Saturday April 26th.
Washington Hyperloop is a student-run organization. Our goal is to design and build a tunnel boring machine to compete at Elon Musk’s Not-a-Boring Competition [boringcompany.com].
In order to complete the design, our team is broken up into sub-teams that will be responsible for the components of the TBM.
Currently our Structures team is actively recruiting and we’d love to have passionate Civil or Environmental Engineers join our team. Their background in soils/geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, hydraulics, and construction lend well to our team’s mission.
While competitive, we encourage students of all ages and experience levels to apply. Our organization places a heavy emphasis on developing young people to help them succeed professionally post university.
While not actively recruiting, our other sub teams listed below will be formally recruiting in the Fall 2024, and we encourage anyone interested to apply even when formal recruiting is not underway.
– Cutter Head/Material Removal: The Cutter Head/Material Removal team is responsible for designing & fabricating the shape and arrangement of cutter discs for maximum performance and longevity
– Design: The Design team is responsible for the appearance of our club. This is everything from club logos and merchandise to the team website.
– Structures: Investigate materials, including concrete & reinforced polymers, and manufacture support systems such as tunnel linings, ribs, and rings to ensure stability and prevent collapses during excavation.
– Business: The Business team is responsible for our team finances, fundraising, and securing sponsors.
We are accepting applicants from all academic standings regardless of their experience.
