In the efforts towards sustainable aviation, we want to be able to maintain the societal benefits that aviation brings while reducing the negative environmental effects it has on its surroundings. To do so, we need to have ways to better understand its environmental footprint and the impact new technologies will have. To this end a vast number of experiments, both in the field at airports and in wind tunnels, are performed.
You are involved in designing and undertaking the experiments, calibration and maintenance of the equipment and associated software development and data management. As such you will be working in a multidisciplinary and highly motivated team of reseachers. Together we develop new measurement approaches, such as acoustic cameras and air quality sensing devices, among others, and we regularly participate in national and international collaborative projects. Of course you are involved in the data analysis and dissemination of the results.
The research engineer position will be hosted in the Aircraft Noise and Climate Effects Section of the Department of Control and Operations of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering. The mission of the Department of Control and Operations is to improve the safety and efficiency of operations in aerospace and to reduce the impact on the environment. The department comprises three sections: Control and Simulation, which focuses on the development of advanced automatic control systems (including the role of the human operator), Air Transport Operations, which aims to improve operational performance in terms of capacity, safety and economy, and Aircraft Noise and Climate Effects, which focuses on reducing aircraft noise, emissions and the effects of aviation on climate change and air quality.
Fixed-term contract: 1 year.
Delft University of Technology is built on strong foundations.
