We are seeking a highly motivated Research Fellow to support in the AeroMaze Challenge, where a swarm of UAVs autonomously explores unknown environments to search for potential threats. The role focuses on UAV platform development and system integration, contributing to CSIEs mission of advancing autonomous multi-agent systems for national defence applications.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop hardware and software platforms for UAV swarm operation.

• Develop modular architectures for multi-agent coordination, sensing, and communication.

• Integrate sensor suites, flight controllers, and swarm coordination algorithms into UAV platforms.

• Conduct field experiments and system validation for UAV swarm behaviours.

• Prepare technical reports and contribute to publications and funding proposals.

Job Requirements:

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, or related fields.

• Strong experience in UAV hardware design, embedded systems, and real-world flight testing.

• Proficient in multi-agent system integration and middleware (e.g., ROS 2, PX4, MAVLink).

• Hands-on experience with communication systems (e.g., Wi-Fi mesh, 4G/5G, UWB).

• Familiarity with swarm algorithms and real-time control systems is highly desirable.

• Strong programming skills in C++/Python.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
