Full time, fixed term for 12 months, with strong potential for multi-year extension subject to performance and continued project funding Based at the Australian Centre for Robotics (ACFR), University of Sydney Base Salary $131,108 - $147,858 + 17% superannuation About the opportunity The Australian Centre for Robotics (ACFR) has been instrumental in developing breakthrough technologies, conducting world-renowned research and developing field robotics principles and systems. We are currently seeking to hire a Lead Mechatronics Engineer to take primary technical responsibility for the design, build, integration, and field deployment of mechatronics systems for ground robots operating in extreme field environments. Working under the broad direction of the Chief Investigator, you will design ruggedised autonomous platforms based on integrated off-the-shelf vehicle components, suitable for sustained operation in rugged outdoor terrain across multiple application domains. This is a senior individual contributor role. You will work autonomously on the mechatronics scope of the platform, with technical assurance provided by the Senior Mechatronics Technical Lead at defined design reviews, and with close collaboration alongside Software Engineers and Postdoctoral Research Fellows. The appointment is offered initially for 12 months. The programme is funded across multiple years and there is strong potential for extension subject to performance and continued funding. Your key responsibilities will be to: act as the primary mechatronics designer for the platform, ensuring designs are robust, serviceable, and fit for purpose in field robotics applications design and build mechatronics systems integrating within the existing hardware and software frameworks of the platform select, modify, and integrate off-the- off-highway vehicle components into the platform chassis design and oversee power and energy systems including battery architecture, power management, and where relevant solar or hybrid options objectively assess the quality and validity of designs in selected scenarios, and identify issues requiring further investigation build and test prototypes, ensuring designs work as intended in laboratory and field conditions prepare, conduct and support tests of robots in the field, including in-field repair and serviceability collaborate closely with Software Engineers on the mechatronics-software interface support the Project Manager in planning, risk management, field trials, and reporting occasionally travel to rural areas and/or interstate to support fieldwork The University values courage and creativity; openness and engagement; inclusion and diversity; and respect and integrity.
