Liquid Hydrogen UAV

As reported by slashtroll, Aerovironment has a press release stating that they've created a liquid hydrogen powered UAV named Global Observer "HALE". Flies 65k feet with a 1000 lb payload for one week.  Pretty impressive.

This is the type of work I'd like to do down the road when my embedded skills are more solid, my UAV experience is up to par, and I feel comfortable in the entire robotics/autonomous area.

Here is one example of what they are looking for:
Experience with R/C aircraft and/or UAV's is a requirement. Prefer candidate to have expertise in micro-controller and embedded systems. Should be proficient in "C" and "C++" programming languages.
