Robotics Lead Engineer for LunarLeaper

vor 4 Wochen

Zürich, Schweiz Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich Vollzeit

For the LunarLeaper project, a European mission to investigate lunar lava tubes, we are searching for a Robotics lead engineer who will work with members of a multidisciplinary team to design and implement the robotic subsystem of the mission. The successful candidate will work closely with the Robotics System Lab and members of Earth and Planetary Sciences under the umbrella of ETH Space, as well as with the international partners of the LunarLeaper mission.
Candidates who have worked on hardware and are passionate about working on a cutting-edge robotic space mission should apply

Project background

LunarLeaper is a legged robotics mission aimed to explore the Moon with a legged, light, and small robot designed to operate in low gravity environments. Legged robotics have been shown to successfully traverse rugged, uneven terrain and deal with loose regolith, allowing access to features such as lunar pits, which are thought to provide access to subsurface lava tubes. Geophysical instruments on the robot will provide a detailed understanding of the traversed terrain, and cameras will provide context at the surface. Here you can find more info on the mission objective.

You will lead the development efforts of the robotic platform to increase maturity level for the lunar environment:

  • Design of the robotic system for the lunar environment including aspects such as mechanical structure, software, and thermal considerations.
  • Project management for the robotic subsystem.
  • Coordination and prioritization of subsystems implemented by our domain experts, for example, control algorithms, actuator design, or mechanism design.
  • Communication with the other subsystem leads and external stakeholders.
  • Test campaign coordination of components, subsystems, and the full system in relevant environments.
Profile
  • Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, or Computer Science.
  • Proven track record in Space Systems Engineering.
  • Experience with space-rated hardware and design.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills.
  • Communication skills towards multidisciplinary stakeholders.
  • Track record in developing and testing robotic systems in the real world.
WorkplaceWe offer
  • A multidisciplinary team.
  • General build-up of Space related topics under the umbrella of ETH | Space.
