Your new company
Join a world-class technology business at the forefront of autonomous and AI-driven aerial systems. This organisation designs and delivers high-performance uncrewed aircraft platforms that redefine how data is captured, analysed, and used across Defence and critical industries.
They’re growing rapidly in Australia and have established a new engineering centre that brings together some of the brightest minds in software, robotics, and embedded systems. You’ll be part of a small, highly technical team with genuine autonomy and visibility, a place where your work directly shapes real-world mission outcomes.
Your new role
Develop and maintain embedded Linux applications used on advanced aerial systems.
Build and configure software interfaces that connect sensors, cameras, and flight systems.
Write clean, reliable C/C++ code running in real-time and Linux-based environments.
Analyse flight logs, performance data, and real-world mission issues to optimise reliability.
Create and maintain CI/CD pipelines and automate build/test workflows.
Work cross-functionally with systems, hardware, and test engineers to deliver flight-ready solutions.
Contribute to testing, risk assessment, and documentation across all software stages.
What you'll need to succeed
Proficiency in C/C++ and Linux or embedded Linux development.
Hands-on experience with build systems (CMake) and CI/CD tools (Git, Jenkins, or similar).
Strong debugging skills with tools like GDB, strace, and perf.
Familiarity with network and communication protocols (UDP/TCP, CAN, Serial, Ethernet).
Working knowledge of Bash or Python scripting for testing and automation.
Background in embedded systems, robotics, or Defence technologies.
Relevant tertiary qualification in Software, Computer, or Electrical Engineering.
Australian citizenship with eligibility for a Defence security clearance.
What you'll get in return
Be part of a company driving real innovation in unmanned and autonomous technology.
Work alongside high-calibre engineers solving complex, real-world problems.
Small, agile team with the backing of a global organisation.
