Business description:
Our company designs, manufactures, tests and supports telecommunication equipment in the microwave/mm wave range. The company provides basic components such as filters and amplifiers to sub systems including high power up converters and low noise down converters to complete systems such as marine and terrestrial tracking terminals. These tracking terminals can find and lock onto specific satellites in the X, Ku and Ka bands. The Aust Navy and Border Force use these terminals on their boats for high data rate communications from anywhere at sea and in all conditions.
The terminals are a complex combination of electronic, electromagnetic, mechatronic and digital engineering. Because the company does the design, manufacture and testing of components and subsystems, there are plenty of opportunities for an intern with any of the above engineering skills to be involved For example, the frequency range covers DC to 30GHz and mechanical aspects include stress and vibration, thermal and heat flow and failure mode analyses.
Projects / tasks:
The main tasks that the intern(s) will participate in are aimed at improving the performance of the 1 t0 2.25m antenna tracking terminals. For the antenna, the efficient measurement of the key components of the feed network(polarisers, filters, radiating apertures etc) is essential to verify the overall antenna performance and to assess where the actual performance deviates from the modelling and how any such deviations can be improved.
The intern will learn how to perform accurate measurements and then will be tasked with ordering and presenting the measurement data in such a way that it can be readily assessed and used to improve the design.
Improvements are also required in the active components (Up and down converters and low noise and high-power amplifiers) connected to the antenna. These improvements involving researching and selecting advanced active MMICs (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits) as they become available and then how to modify existing designs to incorporate these MMICs to enhance the performance. As well as the electronic design, the intern will be tasked with investigating features such as heat dissipation, low resistance, low capacitance mounting techniques, passive and active cooling and so on. These features are required to extend the bandwidth and environmental operational range of the terminals.
Technical skills:
Design and programming skills as well as a fair understanding of manufacturing processes.
SolidWorks experience would be highly regarded.
Intern interpersonal qualities:
Ability to communicate well with other engineers, technicians, and assemblers.
Problem-solving skills and adaptability will also be important.
Business description:
We are a world-leading tier-one manufacturer of optronics and inertial navigation technologies and systems for civil and military applications.
Our company delivers a range of equipment and support that is critical to the Australian Navy’s surface fleet and submarines, the Army’s man portable and vehicle systems, and Australia’s military helicopters.
The company delivers three core technical competencies from our Botany HQ:
- Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) to support in-service equipment in the region;
- Design and Development (D&D) for customization of SED products to meet local needs, and;
- Research and Technology Development (R&T) to support newly emergent local needs
Projects / tasks:
This project will help our company build software tools, simulation assets and scenarios which are used to create and improve synthetic imagery which will be used to develop AI technologies for sighting and vision systems.
This work will be in support of a collaborative project between our company’s research staff and the University of Adelaide which aims to demonstrate next generation coordinated autonomous sensing of naval assets in dynamic maritime environments.
The interns are expected to have knowledge and experience of either computer games development or deep learning for machine vision applications.
The interns will have the freedom to propose and explore a number of options and approaches and will be guided and supported by engineers and scientists in our Research and Technology team. Further, they will have the opportunity for significant collaborative engagement with PhD students and a Postdoc at the University of Adelaide.
They will put what they have learned to use to generate tools to support this naval centric research project, consider, and propose opportunities for further development of this technology.
Technical skills:
Intern #1) Ideally strong experience of Computer Games development (Unreal Engine, Unity, etc)
Intern #2) Ideally strong experience of Deep Learning (PyTorch, Keras, etc)
General skills: OpenCV, C++, Python, Linux
Intern interpersonal qualities:
Technical excellence is paramount, we are looking for people who are highly capable and accomplished and can demonstrate examples of delivering outputs, production code, etc which has been used and adopted.
We are happy to help the intern develop their interpersonal skills, this should not be a barrier to any applicant.
Business description:
We are a space engineering company dedicated to next generation space operations, using machine learning and gaming graphics to greatly reduce the challenge of operating spacecraft. The company has 40 employees and active laboratories in Sydney, Adelaide and Colorado. We sell operations services and spaceflight software to both government and civil customers to include the Australian Defence Force, Fortune 500 and NewSpace companies, US Space Force, and NASA. The Australian Space Agency selected our flight operations service called the “Responsive Space Operations Centre” (RSOC) for their national mission control centre. We specialise in large constellations and fleet control (100+ satellite) and machine learning applications to space.
Projects / tasks:
Space Operator Tasks:
Space operations interns can work on a variety of tasks, including: design and review of processes, procedures and spacecraft commands; design and implementation of report generation tools; design and implementation of diagnostic tools; assisting with spacecraft operations (space traffic management and spacecraft control). Operator tools testing; GUI design; flight data analysis and review; research and development into analytical tools useful for space operations.
In between development tasks, space operation interns will assist senior operators in real space operation campaigns.
Software/Data Engineering Tasks:
Software/Data Engineers can assist with the development of Sabers Mission Management Board software; Public Satellite Research and Analysis database development; development of operational tools; and telemetry and command database integration.
In between development tasks, software/data engineering interns will assist senior operators in real space operation campaigns.
