You'll contribute across the full embedded systems lifecycle- from R&D through to production and manufacturing.
Work on sophisticated embedded systems that power our aerial imagery capture platforms used worldwide. You'll be integral to developing real-time solutions for current and future capture system components, contributing across the entire lifecycle from initial R&D through qualification, production, and manufacturing. This is a rare opportunity to work on complex mechatronic systems where precision and reliability are critical.
What You'll Be Working On
- Real-Time Embedded Systems: Specify, develop, document, and qualify embedded systems solutions for aerial capture platforms, with a focus on bare-metal development and deterministic performance
- High-Precision Motor Control: Research, develop, and qualify advanced motor control solutions that demand ultra-high precision for aerial imagery capture systems
- Hardware-Software Integration: Interface embedded software with sophisticated electronic hardware systems, ensuring seamless operation in real-world aerial environments
- Verification & Validation: Develop and execute comprehensive testing strategies, both cross-platform and on target hardware, to ensure system reliability and performance
- Control Systems Development: Design and implement linear and non-linear feedback controllers for electro-mechanical applications, combining theoretical modelling with practical implementation
- Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Work closely with multi-disciplinary Technology and Capture Systems teams, contributing to knowledge sharing and driving innovation across the organisation
Who You Are
- Excellent communicator with strong verbal, written, and visual communication skills
- Positive self-starter who thrives in collaborative, team-oriented environments
- Comfortable working in fast-paced, dynamic settings where priorities can shift
- High emotional intelligence with the ability to work effectively across different teams and disciplines
- Detail-oriented problem solver who can balance theoretical knowledge with practical implementation
- Passionate about embedded systems engineering and eager to tackle complex technical challenges
Essential:
8+ years of engineering experience in embedded systems with an emphasis on bare metal development
Desired: 10+ years; experienced in bare-metal embedded software; familiar with ARM Cortex-M7 architecture
Strong proficiency in C++ and Python; advantageous: C
Real-time/deterministic software development
Interfacing software to electronic hardware systems
Verification and validation of embedded software: cross-platform and on target hardware
Highly Regarded:
- 10+ years embedded systems experience
- ARM Cortex-M7 architecture expertise
- Ultra high-precision mechatronic systems background
- Control systems theory and practical implementation experience
Please note this is an in office role, based in Sydney and therefore cannot cater to remote employees.
