Want to work in the rapidly growing space industry? Get connected and create networks to help your career!
The Innovation & Collaboration Centre (ICC) is once again hosting ‘SCOUT’, an event where we bring eager students and innovative companies into one room. What does that get you? As a student, you get the opportunity to chat directly to the people who actively have opportunities for internships or employment. These businesses will deliver a short pitch to YOU on what they’re looking for in a team member.
Working in the space industry can be a life-changing opportunity. Come along to hear from some of Adelaide’s top companies pitch for students like you. And if you're not already sold, did we tell you we’re providing pizza and drinks as well?
These companies are predominately looking for students studying engineering and marketing. There are also opportunities for STEM students more broadly. As a non-engineering STEM student, please know that we cannot guarantee that you will secure an internship through this event. Contact the ICC’s marketing officer Samantha Dawes Samantha.dawes@unisa.edu.au if you wish to know more about this.
Make sure you register now to secure your spot NOW for 2022 SCOUT.
Arrive at room F1-24 at Mawson Lakes by 2:45pm for a 3:00pm start
Please note: Due to security clearance requirements, some companies won't be taking on international students. However, others are very keen for international talent. All students are welcome to attend.
Humanity is expanding into space, yet humans are too fragile to perform the construction and assembly needed to create vital infrastructure in hazardous environments. Robots that can perform a wide variety of complex tasks autonomously are needed. In addition to great hardware, which is already available on the market, these robots need to be intelligent. ANT61 is working on the next generation robotic brain, taking advantage of recent breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence (AI). The first step on their robot’s journey to space is in-orbit satellite maintenance, repair, and life extension.
To obtain a permit to perform space activities in Australia, the current system requires proof of statutory and regulatory compliance from potentially many sources. Each of these compliances require separate applications to a company or agency to gain the certificate of compliance, which themselves may or may not be dependent on other existing compliances. This creates time-consuming and repetitive “busy work” as a pre-condition to the real goal. Blue Dwarf is using machine intelligence and usability design to remove that busy-work, provide simple tools and help its clients reach their goals faster.
