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.
