The Australian Centre for Field Robotics (ACFR) at the University of Sydney has established a new Strategic Partnership with UK based BAE Systems. The aim of the BAE Partnership is to develop core research in autonomy, in areas relating to Intelligence, Surveillance, Tracking and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) in a semi-urban environment.

We are seeking motivated and capable Software Engineers to develop, build and field a range of state-of-the-art algorithms, currently being researched at the centre. You will possess strong technical skills in object oriented software design. You will also have experience and knowledge of Software Development Lifecycle methodologies. You will have strong programming skills including experience with the C++ programming language and use of code management methods.

In addition, experience in one or more of the following areas is considered advantageous:

• Interfacing to sensors such as imaging devices, lasers, encoders or GPS.
• Development of real-time software implemented on multiple operating systems such as Windows, Linux or QNX Neutrino.
• Implementing complex algorithms with real-time, multi-threaded performance.
• Strong skills in networking/communication including development and use of middleware.
• Development of large-scale visualisation and data base software.
• An ability or demonstrated ability to solve problems "in the field" and troubleshooting will be an advantage.

Software Engineer appointments will be made at levels HEO6, HEO7 and HEO8. HEO 6 candidates will have a tertiary degree in computer science or electrical/mechatronic engineering with a demonstrated ability and competence in relevant areas of interest to the Centre. HEO7 candidates will possess the above, as well as substantial experience in relevant areas of interest to the Centre. HEO8 candidates will have equivalent technical capabilities as HEO7, as well as relevant experience in project management.

Remuneration package: a competitive remuneration package commensurate with qualifications and experience will be negotiated with the successful candidates.

This is a long-term recruitment drive, and the expression of interest will remain open until all positions have been filled. Visa sponsorship will be available for the successful appointees if required.

I applied for this job in Jan 2009, i got reply from Fang Zhou that all positions are filled. Now once again the same adv. :(
@ksrk: The job you applied for in Jan was advertised around November. They did interviews etc during December and filled it in early January.

This will be a new position because someone is resigning from their current position. I dealt with these guys and found them to be very professional to work with.
