Research Associate (High Temperature-Resistant & Miniaturized Payload Hardware Design)

Centre for Advanced Robotics Technology Innovation (CARTIN) are looking for a hardware-focused Research Associate to design and prototype a compact and heat-resistant multi-sensor payload. The system must withstand temperatures of 250°C for 10 minutes (without external cooling) while maintaining internal stability for embedded electronics.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design compact mechanical housing to operate under 250°C ambient conditions.

• Ensure internal core temperature remains under 55°C during runtime.

• Select and integrate miniaturized components (compute, battery, sensors).

• Strip sensor casings and reassemble into a custom mount with thermal shielding.

• Perform heat simulation, thermal insulation, and shock-resistance design.

• Test hardware in specified sites and environments.

Job Requirements:
