About Us


We’re an Australian tech scale-up pioneering high-accuracy navigation solutions. Our Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) empower vehicles to navigate where satellites can’t reach—underground, underwater, or even in conflict zones. We combine advanced hardware (including ultra-sensitive Fibre Optic Gyroscopes) with sophisticated software to create devices used in both commercial and defence sectors. Plus, we’re partnering with the Australian Space Agency on projects like guiding rockets and autonomous landings!


Due to the nature of this role, applicants must be citizens of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, or the United States and be eligible for relevant security clearances.


Why You’ll Love Working Here


Cutting-Edge Innovation: Dive into technologies that blend robust hardware with smart software, pushing the limits of what's possible in navigation

Learn from the best: Work alongside and learn from some of the best minds in the industry. Go deep into the technical details, and collaborate with experts in mechanical, optical, electrical, FPGA, embedded and algorithm engineering

Real Impact: Every line of code contributes directly to products that are used in high-stakes environments

Modern test equipment: Use state-of-the-art equipment like our two-axis rate table and robot arm to bring your code to life

Flexible Work Options: Enjoy one day a week working from home. Choose the day that suits you best.

What You’ll Do

  • Develop embedded C/C++ applications for ARM Cortex-based processors (we use an STM32).
  • Write automated tests in Python.
  • Implement and refine sensor-fusion navigation algorithms (think Kalman filters and beyond).
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, test and calibrate our devices.
  • Own the end-to-end software lifecycle - from design and coding to testing and field support.

What We’re Looking For

  • Embedded Expertise: Solid experience with C/C++ on ARM Cortex and familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS).
  • Efficiency & Protocol Know-How: Ability to write memory-efficient code and a good understanding of communication protocols like UART, SPI, I2C, and CAN.
  • Testing & Version Control: Proficient in using Git and writing automated tests in Python, with exposure to CI/CD practices.
  • Passion for Navigation: An interest in robotics, sensor-fusion, and physics is a big plus.
  • Bonus Skills: Experience with Javascript or Java for developing customer-facing applications is useful but not required.

  • Don’t worry if you don’t tick every box – if you’re passionate and eager to learn, we’d still love to chat!

Our Process & Culture

  • We operate on a monthly sprint cadence with minimal meetings. You’ll get clarity on what’s important for the customer and plenty of uninterrupted time to dive deep into technical challenges.

Ready to Make an Impact?
