Postdoctoral Research Associate / Fellow in eVTOL Medical Delivery Drones
- Sydney, NSW
- $105,350-140,586 per year
- Permanent
- Full-time
- Two full time, fixed term roles for 4.5 years, located at the Darlington Campus
- Join a leading research team developing long-range electrical vertical take-off and landing medical delivery drones
- Base Salary $105,350 - $140,586 + 17% superannuation
- Design, build and flight-test several (scaled) models of the medical delivery drone(s)
- De-risk the flight controller of the eVTOL aircraft
- Optimise the full-scale medical delivery drone for fuel-cell-based propulsion systems
- Integrate and flight test the fuel-cell-powered prototype
- Contribute as a researcher to project report preparation, presentation at internal workshops, and dissemination at top international conferences and journals as well as via internal workshops and presentations.
- completed (or near completion) a PhD in a topic related to eVTOL aircraft design, drone flight testing, fuel-cell-based hybrid aircraft propulsion systems, or related fields. Equivalent experience will be considered
- experience in aircraft prototyping, eVTOL aircraft design, and/or (flight) testing
- an ability to coordinate multiple project objectives to meet established targets and deadlines
- the ability to express ideas clearly in writing
- experience in working collaboratively as part of a team
- hands-on experience with fuel cells and uncrewed aerial systems would be an asset.
- an awarded PhD plus some additional experience
- experience in taking initiative in designing eVTOL aircraft, and/or conducting experimental validation
- experience in guiding research activities of others.
