Are you fascinated by the power of flight and the thrill of aerospace engineering? Do you want to be part of a groundbreaking project that aims to build the fastest RC aircraft in the world? If yes, then we have an exciting opportunity for you!

About the S1 Subscale Jet Turbine Project

We are a team of dedicated students at ETH and the ETH Student Project House, working on a jet turbine powered UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle). Our mission is to push the boundaries of remote-controlled aircraft design, aiming for unprecedented speeds. We’re currently building an electric 1:3 scale aircraft to validate our analysis software and to set the ground work for the upcoming S1 (1:2 scale jet turbine powered aircraft) and Full-scale (jet turbine powered aircraft aimed to reach Mach 0.85 / 1000km/h).

Your Role:

• Take ownership for the development of our S1 subscale jet turbine powered aircraft and push for quick development.
• Collaborate with the team to integrate various subsystems into a cohesive and functional prototype.
• Participate in the design, testing, and iteration of S1.
• Contribute to the aerodynamic analysis and flight stability assessments at transonic speeds.

Your Skills:

• A good foundation in aerospace engineering principles and/or the will to learn rapidly as needed.
• A hands-on attitude
• Proficiency in CAD
• An analytical mindset with a problem-solving approach to engineering challenges.

Why Join Us:

• Innovative Environment: Be a part of a project that’s not just about speed, but also about innovation and learning.
• Skill Development: Gain practical experience in systems engineering and design in a real-world project setting.
• Networking: Collaborate with like-minded peers and professionals, expanding your network within the aerospace industry.

Working Conditions:

• Project start: ASAP or starting in the Fall semester 2024
• Duration: Minimum of 2 Semesters
• Working hours: 6-10 hours per week, flexible

Please note that this is a volunteer position. While we cannot offer paid employment, your involvement will be a valuable addition to your CV and a testament to your practical experience.
