Bluesat UNSW

Bluesat UNSW Bluesat is UNSW’s space engineering and interest society. Applications forms in the link below!

Bluesat is one of UNSW's oldest project societies and has been the center of space engineering for students since 1997. We have designed and developed dozens of projects from start to finish, including (but not limited to) satellites, high-altitude weather balloons, rovers, drones, astronautical software packages and more. A significant majority of our events are open to all UNSW students. This in

cludes workshops, social events (movies, games nights, outings), industry events, career opportunities and competitions. If you think the space industry is cool, we know we have something for you and are eager to meet you. If you're looking to get more involved, we run several cutting-edge projects and are looking for students with a wide variety of backgrounds. In many positions, a willingness to learn and good teamworking skills are all you need to apply - we will teach you the rest. For our projects positions, we are currently looking for:
* Engineers (electrical, telecom, mechatronic, mechanical, computer and manufacturing).
* Programmers (software engineering, computer science, related)
* Mathematics and science students (physics and materials science)

If your degree is not in the above list, don't worry. If you think you'll do well in a project we always want to hear from you. Provided you will work well in a team and have any neccesary prerequisite knowledge to be able to pick up the engineering skills involved in a reasonable amount of time, there is nothing to worry about (e.g. we expect a baseline understanding of electronics and signals for a radio engineer). Our operations team listings are also available from above, and we are always on the lookout for:
* Skilled strategists and those with good business skills
* Graphic designers, content creators and artists
* People with strong marketing and event planning skills.. and more. Check out our listings at https://bluesatrecruitment.herokuapp.com/roles

It’s that time again🔥🔥
Bluesat T2 Applications Are Now Open‼️

If you are interested in space-related engineering, Bluesat is the place for you!
Across our projects, we are looking for various roles in:
- Mechanical Engineering
- Electrical Engineering
- Software Engineering
We love to see applications from students in all engineering disciplines in all years of study!

We are taking new students in T2 across these projects:
- 🏎️ Off-World Robotics: Off-World Robotics (OWR) is Bluesats rover project, design and create a rover platform where we compete for the Australian Rover Challenge annually. A competition that simulates lunar missions against university teams across the world.
- 🎈High-Altitude Balloon: Work on our high altitude balloon test platform, launching flights up to 34km in altitude in partnership with industry sponsors for scientific research and space hardware testing.
- 📡 Groundstation: Work on our portable satellite-tracking groundstation, to autonomously track and communicate with satellites, as well as our permanently stationed rooftop groundstation.
- 🛰️ Satellite: Join our newest project, working in partnership with UNSW Rocketry to create a scientific research payload to be launched at the Australian Universities Rocketry Challenge (AURC) 2026.

‼️LINKS FOR APPLICATION IS IN BIO‼️

While a Technical assessment will not be mandatory this term, if you want to get a taste of what Bluesat offers in a technical sense - and what skills we are looking for - we would encourage you to take a look and complete our past terms technical assessments below.

We’d like to give a big thank you to Ansys and Leap Australia for their ongoing support of Bluesat UNSW in providing both training and software across the Ansys Suite! Their softwares have been crucial in testing and validating the systems built across our society. Post the Australian Rover Challenge 2026, our Off-World Robotics team have been simulating the structural integrity of our drive train using Ansys Mechanical, utilising key features of Ansys’ meshing and simulations to validate our drive train uprights and wheels for continued use in the Australian Rover Challenge 2027 ⚙️
