You will:

• Support the design, development, testing, and commissioning of software and mechatronic systems
• Demonstrate strong ownership, taking initiative and going the extra mile to achieve team and company goals
• Work closely with cross-functional teams
• Subsystem ownership: e.g. take ownership of assigned modules or subsystems, from design, build and integration through to validation, troubleshooting and handover
• Technical scope: e.g. sensors, actuators, motion systems, control hardware, software, firmware, electrical interfaces and automation logic etc
• Documentation: e.g. test procedures, commissioning records, risk assessments, control notes, troubleshooting guides etc.
• Validation: e.g. validation testing, data collection and root-cause analysis to improve reliability, safety and performance
• Hands-on support: e.g. hands-on support during internal builds, demonstration line integration, customer-site deployment
• Integrate safety in design principles throughout equipment and software development while supporting compliance with company policies, WHS standards, risk mitigation, and continuous improvement efforts
• Some international travel will be required for the role
