Overview

The aerospace sector is rapidly evolving, with significant growth projected in the coming years. The Engineering Society of Queen's University is at the forefront of this transformation, focusing on the design and optimization of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for competitive events.

Our team, comprised of over 60 dedicated undergraduate students, has recently achieved a remarkable milestone by developing a first-generation Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft. This innovative vehicle features a 3-meter wingspan, four vertical lift motors for multicopter functionality, and a pusher motor for efficient cruise flight, enabling a flight duration of 45 minutes at a cruising speed of 80 km/h. Key attributes of the eVTOL include a custom 2-axis gimbal, advanced autonomy powered by a high-speed onboard computer, and a cabin designed for four simulated passengers.

As we look to the future, we are committed to expanding our capabilities and exploring new design initiatives on an international scale.

Position: Director of Software

In response to the evolving demands of our competitions, we have established a Software Branch dedicated to enhancing the autonomy of our UAVs. This role is critical for the ongoing development of our eVTOL aircraft, particularly in the areas of perception and navigation.

The Director of Software will play a pivotal role in leading our software operations, collaborating closely with the managers of the Perception and Navigation Subteams, and coordinating with the Executive team. This position offers a unique opportunity to influence the direction of our software development efforts.

Key Skills and Experiences to be Gained:

  1. Project Management
  2. Perception Software Development
  3. Navigation Software Development

Application Process

We prioritize your written application and interview performance over your resume. Our selection process is designed to ensure a fair evaluation of all candidates.
