Employment Opportunity: Machine Learning for Aerospace Technology
A research associate, postdoctoral or Ph.D. position is available, full- or part-time. The position will remain open till it is filled.
The position is expected to have a duration of one to one-and-a-half years. Longer term opportunities may be possible depending on the candidate’s career goals and interests.
The candidate will work with a supervising professor, engineers, and research associates, on an industry-academic collaboration that involves the development of a sophisticated flight controller for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The candidate will also work in conjunction with the industrial partner’s electronics, software, and mechanical engineering personnel as needed. The company is a small organization located in Ottawa, ON, where it has a lab and office space, and near Odessa, ON at a private aerodrome where it flies some aircraft for R&D purposes.
The main focus of the position will be to process, analyze, and prepare data collected during test flights by the company’s complex suite of sensors. These data describe flight behavior and are then used by other team members to develop an intelligent controller. The candidate may have some input in this process as well. In addition, he or she may be asked to assist with the development or debugging of some electronics related to the aircraft monitoring and control systems.
Candidates should possess a degree in a relevant engineering discipline such as electronics or electrical engineering. Computing science, mathematics, or mechanical engineering might also be acceptable depending on the candidate. Knowledge of mechatronics/robotics and experience with sensor hardware, controllers, and data would be valuable. Working knowledge of hardware, such as Raspberry Pi and Arduino; and software, such as MATLAB and C++, would be an asset.
Priority will be given to Canadians and permanent residents. Applicants with work visa will also be considered
Please submit your CV and cover letter by email to the contact below. The subject line should be “Application for the Position on Machine Learning and Aerospace Technology”. Interviews will be conducted shortly after.
