INTERNSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT
Saber Astronautics Australia Pty Ltd. Several part time internship/work study positions are now open in our new office in Sydney. Be a part of a growing and dynamic team, one of the few space engineering startups in Australia. We are known for our cutting edge research which tackle the hard problems in space operations. Our research collaborations have included CSIRO, UNSW, QUT, Deakin, and we were short listed to present for Tech23. Work while learning about the next generation in space operations and logistics and making it happen from the ground up.
INTERNSHIPS / WORK STUDY ONGOING DURING 2012.
Description: The Predictive Interactive Ground station Interface (PIGI), is an R&D project to modernise satellite control to the latest in interfacing, automation, and human-robotic interaction technologies. Applicants should have relevant coursework for the position they are applying. We are looking for people who have a willingness to enter the unknown, take initiative, experiment, and create. PIGI has a high research component and a passion for space is essential.
Positions:
Space Engineer (or software engineer): *solid* C++ skills. Experience with space simulators are a plus. Satellite systems, orbital mechanics, mission analysis, and ground station hardware desired. Experience in satellite telemetry analysis and/or space operations desired (but not required).
Space Scientist: Knowledge in Space Environment phenomenon such as solar radiation and magnetic field models are essential. This is an entry-level research internship. Successful candidates will apply space physics models in the program so an understanding of algorithms is also important.
Computer Graphics / Artist: A creative techno-artist with an interest in applying your skills to human-robotic and satellite control interfaces. Blender, Google SketchUp, C++, Ogre3d. Experience on space projects not required (we will train). An interest in applying your art and CGI skills to space is.
If you are interested please send your CV to info@saberastro.com along with a link to your portfolio (photos, videos, code samples, etc) of prior work.
