Highly Skilled Embedded System Designer Wanted

We are seeking a technically proficient and hands-on Embedded Hardware Engineer to join our fast-growing engineering team.

The ideal candidate will bring deep practical knowledge of automotive or industrial electronics, be comfortable working across bench and field environments and thrive in a multidisciplinary engineering culture that spans embedded systems, mechatronics and cloud-connected mining technology.

• Interface with automotive and industrial control systems using Automotive CAN, CAN FD and CAN Open protocols; configure, debug and validate communication with ECUs and controllers.
• Develop and support PLC logic for system control and industrial automation.
• Perform reverse engineering on third-party or legacy hardware, including signal tracing, schematic recovery and interface mapping.
• Participate in embedded system integration — working across firmware, Analog or Digital I/O and/or sensors and control interfaces.
• Conduct in-depth diagnostics using logic analysers, CAN analysers, oscilloscopes and test instrumentation.
• Support schematic validation, PCB-level debugging and bring-up of new hardware.
• Define test procedures, perform functional validation and document hardware behaviour under varying load and environmental conditions.
• Collaborate with software, mechanical and systems engineers to ensure full-stack system interoperability in mining environments.
• Provide support during field testing and deployment, including debugging at the edge (on mobile equipment in live mine sites).
• Build and maintain an internal hardware compatibility matrix for supported mining equipment models and OEMs (CAT, Komatsu, Hitachi etc.).
• Lead bench testing and environmental stress testing (vibration, temperature, EMI) to validate hardware performance under mining conditions.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including wiring schematics, hardware configuration guides and diagnostic flowcharts.
• Assist with regulatory and compliance preparation (EMC, CE, FCC) for hardware products, where applicable.
• Collaborate with the product and QA teams to simulate edge scenarios and fault modes for hardware validation.
• Participate in cross-site collaboration with HME Australia and mine-site teams during active deployment cycles.
• Provide technical training and mentoring to junior technicians or support engineers during hardware rollouts.

• 5-7 years of hands-on experience in embedded hardware engineering or automotive electronics.
• Solid working knowledge and hand-on experience on Automotive CAN, CAN Open, CAN FD.
• Work experience with integrating Analog / Digital IO's and Sensors.
• Good understanding and knowledge on embed systems development and integration.
• Practical experience with PLC programming for automation or control systems.
• Experience in hardware-level fault isolation, bus signal analysis and interface debugging.
• Proficiency with diagnostic tools: CAN bus analysers (Vector, Peak, Kvaser), oscilloscopes and multimeters.
• Strong understanding of digital and analogue circuit behaviour, grounding, shielding and noise mitigation in harsh environments.
• Experience with reverse engineering hardware or analysing undocumented systems.
• Ability to read and interpret schematics, wiring diagrams and datasheets.
• Understanding of power systems (12V/24V), automotive-grade signal conditioning and protection circuitry in harsh environments.
• Experience developing or supporting sensor-based systems (IMUs, RTK GNSS, load sensors, temperature sensors etc.).
• Ability to assess EMI/ESD sensitivity and mitigate issues in equipment exposed to industrial RF environments.
• Familiarity with firmware bootloaders or flashing procedures for field-deployed embedded devices.
