Nautilus structure team

Are you fascinated by space and exploration?
Do you wonder what is possible when academic and industry work together?
Would you like to join a team that makes real explorations happen?
If the answer is yes, yes and yes, we would love to hear from you!

Unmanned Underwater Vehicle - Structure Specialist

ARIS is a student initiative based at ETH Zürich (Dübendorf) and inspires students across Switzerland
with opportunities to put into practice what you have been studying in theory by gaining hands-on
space and underwater robotics engineering experience and cont ribute to space engineering
challenges through academic and industry collaborations.
From the technical side, this year ARIS goes into the 5th round of challenges. Following project
PICCARD, ARIS will participate at the Spaceport America Cup 2022 in New Mexico with its own hybrid
rocket engine. In addition, ARIS also works on several other projects such as its own Unmanned
Underwater Vehicle, in order to explore the ocean worlds of Enceladus and Europe in search of life.
ARIS also conducts events to support these activities, and has ongoing engagement with sponsors, the
public and professors.
From the business side we have grown a lot over the last year. We have been expanding our ARIS
business team, in the areas of marketing, finance and HR. Furthermore, and we have also started a
collaboration with University St Gallen and their prestigious business unit.
To achieve the ambitious projects and continue our exciting growth, we require a motivated
member of Structure Subteam .
Tasks include:

• CAD design of: support structure for avionics components, rotative structure for sonar scanning,
  rigid hydrodynamic wings, hydrodynamic hull and structure...


• Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations and analysis for hydrodynamic hull


• Sensor integration, cable management


• Ensuring waterproof design


• 3D printing, machining


• Manufacturing, assembly and testing of your design


• Establishing standards for future teams

Expectations
As a member of the Structure Subteam, even though not mandatory, following skills are highly
appreciated:

• Familier with a range of CAD software (Catia, Solidworks, Fusion360...)


• Familier with CFD


• Familier with FEM


• Experience with manufacturing and assembly


• ...

From each of our team members we expect:

• We expect you to spend 1-2 days a week (~10h) on the project and be able to join team
  meetings and workshops on zoom or at Switzerland Innovation Park in Dübendorf, ZH


• Be eager to learn and proactive


• Fail, get up and learn from it


• Take responsibilities over your projects and tasks

What do you get?
By participating in this unique challenge, you will:

• Possibly take part in expeditions to frozen lakes in the Swiss Alps and to the North Pole


• Help to better understand climate change by helping glaciologist map the oceans floor


• Help to take a step towards the discovery of life in icy moons oceans

But also:

• Get in contact with many sponsors from academia and industry


• Take initiative outside of the classroom and gain skills and hands-on experience


• Establish and grow your network in industry and academia


• Be part of a friendly community, grow as a unit and build life-long friendships


• Kickstart your career!

Project start: September 2022
Duration: 1-2 semesters
Working hours: 1-2 days/week

Please be informed that your work will be entirely voluntary. As we are a student project, we do not offer
any paid employment.
