Mechanical Engineer at the Cyprus Institute

The Cyprus Institute (CyI) is a European non-profit science and technology institution based in Cyprus and led by an acclaimed Board of Trustees. The research aims of the Cyprus Institute are represented by three research centers: the Computation-based Science and Technology Research Center (CASTORC), the Science and Technology in Archaeology Research Center (STARC), and the Energy Environment Water Research Center (EEWRC). Considerable cross-center interaction is a characteristic of the Institute’s culture.
The Unmanned Systems Research Laboratory (USRL) of the Cyprus Institute is a rapidly growing facility developed in the framework of the “Autonomous Flying Platforms for Atmospheric and Earth Surface Observation” Project (APAESO). The facility is comprised by various sizes of fixed and rotary wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), a mobile Ground Control Station and a fully equipped laboratory and workshop dedicated to Unmanned Systems and their Applications. Due to the increasing demand in flying operations, mostly related to research atmospheric EU projects, the Cyprus Institute is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to carry out payload design, aircraft modifications and perform testing. This will also include design and possible modifications of existing instruments for atmospheric and earth surface observations. The engineer will be involved in operational flights and will also have the opportunity to participate in other projects.
