About us:
Shift EV is a fast-growing electric vehicle technology company, based in Cairo, Egypt. Our vision is to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in Egypt and the region by developing state-of-the-art electric drivetrain solutions. You will work with world-class technology veterans from MIT, the University of Grenoble, Intel, and Corning to build a venture with transformative potential.

Are you passionate about shaping the future of electric vehicles? Shift EV is launching its Engineering Internship Program, designed to give ambitious freshers hands-on experience in cutting-edge automotive electrification.

We’re offering three focused tracks. Each intern will work closely with our engineering team on real challenges that impact our product roadmap and core technologies.

🌟 Available Internship Tracks:

1. Vehicle Control Unit – Model-Based Development

Department: Embedded Systems / Controls Engineering

Key Focus:
You will work on the development and validation of control algorithms for our Vehicle Control Unit (VCU), using model-based design (MBD) tools such as Simulink and MATLAB.

Exposure Includes:

• Designing and simulating vehicle functions (e.g., torque control, drive modes).

• Working within an automotive-grade software development process.

• Understanding signal processing and sensor integration.

• Testing models on real ECUs and potentially in-vehicle environments.

2. Mechanical Drawings Engineer

Department: Mechanical Design / CAD

Key Focus:
You will support the development of 2D and 3D mechanical drawings for parts and assemblies in our electric vehicle conversions, using tools such as SolidWorks or CATIA.

Exposure Includes:

• Creating production-ready mechanical drawings with proper tolerances and standards.

• Working closely with design engineers and the manufacturing team.

• Understanding design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) principles.

• Participating in design reviews and release processes.

3. Electric Drivetrain Modelling

Department: Powertrain / Systems Engineering

Key Focus:
You will model and simulate the electric drivetrain (motors, inverters, gearboxes) to support system sizing, performance prediction, and efficiency optimization.
Exposure Includes:

• Building and running simulation models (MATLAB/Simulink or equivalent).

• Analyzing motor performance curves and efficiency maps.

• Supporting integration between motor, battery, and control systems.

• Contributing to vehicle-level performance and energy consumption analysis.

💡 Who Should Apply?

• Engineering freshers from Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or Automotive fields.

• Strong analytical skills and a passion for EVs and innovation.

• Prior experience in simulation or CAD tools is a plus.

• Previous internships and Participation in extracurricular activities is a plus

• Exempted from military service
