Fishermans Bend, Australia Australian Government Department of Defence Full time

$123,159 - $147,828 (plus Super)
- Fishermans Bend - VIC

**The Role**
The position will oversee the development of numerical and computational tools to evaluate the hydrodynamics performance of maritime platforms. This includes validated mathematical models and simulations to predict the relevant characteristics of maritime platforms.

The position will direct and support related experimental programs in support of this work. This work will support the acquisition and sustainment of Royal Australian Navy platforms.

The person will work closely with other members within the Maritime Division, and develop collaborative research with Australian universities, industry and international partners.

This position requires reporting within DST and supervision of staff/contractors. Duties include:

- Manage the development of validated mathematical/numerical tools to predict and evaluate, hydrodynamics (resistance, propulsor and wake evaluation) performance of maritime platforms, including propulsors
- Plan and manage a range of human and physical resources required to conduct complex hydrodynamic research.
- Initiate, develop and maintain collaborative research projects with Australian universities, industry, and international partners.

**About our Team**
DST Group's Platforms Division provides technologies and scientific and technical (S&T) expertise to deliver the capability edge to the war fighter and enhance the operational performance and survivability of defence platforms in the maritime domain.

The Acoustic Signature Management branch of Platforms provides Australia’s primary capability for the management and control of acoustic signatures of defence platforms and the hydrodynamic, propulsion, and manoeuvring performance of ships and submarines.

The Hydroacoustics group undertakes computational and experimental studies addressing hydrodynamic, manoeuvring, and hydroacoustics effects on maritime platform design and operation.

This includes the development and validation of experimental and computational fluid dynamic and hydrodynamic techniques to examine and evaluate new and innovative platform designs. The group also research on flow noise generated by the platform and on propellers and propulsor systems, including evaluating propulsor performance and through life management.

The group has access to a number of world class experimental facilities.
