About the Project and the Role:
Ocius Technology and UNSW Canberra are partnered on a project to increase the rapid scaling of production of Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USVs). Supported by funding from Defence Trailblazer, the project is developing an integrated production and maintenance facility, along with an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered logistics support framework, led by Dr. Ripon K. Chakrabortty, Founder & Leader of DSARG, School of Systems & Computing, UNSW Canberra.
The Ocius Bluebottle USV fleet is powered by renewable energy, utilizing solar, wind, and wave power, or a combination of energy sources, and offers economic and operational advantages over conventional methods. Ocius is a key supplier to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), and this collaborative project will directly support Australia’s security by scaling production and supporting a capable and resilient sovereign supply chain.
Under the direction of the project’s UNSW lead, the Research Associate will be involved in conducting the technical tasks of the project, primarily related to flexible workspace layout design and AI-based predictive maintenance models.
