About the Company

NanoCube is a Melbourne-based research and development company specialising in next generation defence innovation leveraging Artificial Intelligence, materials science and nanotechnology.

We are creating advanced military technology that makes personnel and assets harder to detect and track while boosting survivability and situational awareness. Nanotechnological advancement sits at the heart of NanoCube, especially the development and realisation of breakthrough smart materials and products with real-life defence applications.

Project Objective

Leveraging AI and nanotechnology, NanoCube is developing advanced protective body armour. It is designed to provide land-dismounted combatants with superior whole-body safety and refined thermal management, creating a lightweight, wearable solution that enhances survivability.
The objectives of this project include developing initial prototypes of the armour and conducting laboratory testing and optimisation, including Impact Dynamics, to demonstrate the technology’s performance.

Project tasks

Project tasks include a literature review, planning and executing systems integration and development of prototypes, planning and executing technical tests, design optimisation, and presentation of results/final report.

Intern Skills

We are seeking an intern with hands-on experience conducting laboratory experiments, numerical modelling, testing, and characterisation.

An intern should excel in communication, both orally and in writing, and demonstrate effective interpersonal skills. The ideal candidate will have a positive, learning-oriented mindset, be reliable, be an exceptional problem-solver, and be a creative thinker.

Application

The project is currently full, and we are no longer accepting applications at this time.
