Joining the Team

We are Always Recruiting!

WildCat5e is recruiting new team members for the 2020-2021 season.

​We are looking for students who are interested in either the business side of our team or the engineering side (or both.) That means we need students who want to do the things normally associated with robots: engineering, CAD, building, wiring, and programming, and we also need students with other interests such as marketing, writing, fundraising, community service, photography, videography, and social media.

We hope you'll consider joining us for another exciting season!

To join the team, please fill out this application:

In the meantime, if you have questions or would like more information, contact us at frc@wildcat5e.com.

The communication platform we use is slack. Please email us to be invited to slack.
