Electrical Engineer for Uncrewed Aircraft Collision Risk Assessment

6 days ago

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Queensland University Of Technology Full time

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to join our team at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) as a Research Fellow in Drone Collision Risk Assessment Techniques.

About the Role

This is a fixed-term, full-time position until 31 May 2026. The successful candidate will conduct research within the collaborative project "Australian Digital Airspace Characterisation", funded by the Emerging Aviation Technologies Partnerships (EATP) program and in partnership between QUT, industry, and the federal government.

You will play a crucial role in developing quantitative approaches to uncrewed aircraft collision risk modelling using data, applied statistics, and practical aviation constraints/standards. Using multiple large datasets and supporting infrastructure, the collision risk models will be used to create new digital resources and information that enhance uncrewed mission planning, flight approval, airspace management, and regulatory applications.

The Research Fellow will work closely with industry partners and government to ensure the development of these technologies provides direct translation and commercialisation pathways.

What You'll Need to Succeed
  • A PhD in a relevant discipline, preferably in Mathematics or Engineering (Robotics, Aerospace, Computer Systems, Electrical)
  • Demonstrated ability to conduct applied research, balancing theoretical and practical engineering concepts
  • Demonstrated experience in manipulating, exploring, and analysing large data sets using advanced statistical techniques
  • Demonstrated experience using mathematical software packages (e.g., MATLAB, Python, R) and/or developing software in other packages (C, C#)
  • Demonstrated written communication skills, including the ability to maintain accurate records, with a demonstrated track record in publishing in high-quality conferences and journals, and experience in summarising scientific data in reports
  • Demonstrated ability and motivation to engage and actively collaborate with industry partners and government
  • Demonstrated ethical standards in research confidentiality, including the ability to protect intellectual property
Benefits
  • A competitive remuneration package, including up to 17% superannuation and leave loading of 17.5%
  • A healthy work-life balance with a blend of on-campus and off-campus work arrangements for applicable positions
  • Generous maternity leave, including primary carer parental leave of up to 26 weeks (including 17% super)
  • Stay healthy with Fitness Passport and enjoy discounted rates on private health insurance
  • Purchased Leave Scheme - up to 8 extra weeks
  • Salary Packaging Scheme for additional superannuation contributions, vehicle leasing, and on-campus services such as childcare, parking, and gyms

We're committed to building a culture that fosters connection between people and purpose. Beyond personal and professional fulfillment, a career at QUT offers numerous opportunities for professional development, including leadership programs and workshops, and our study assistance scheme.
