Robotics and Control Systems Engineer
The future of mining automation is rapidly evolving, driven by advancements in technology and innovation. As a robotics and control systems engineer, you will play a key role in shaping the development of next-generation autonomous mining solutions.
Your primary responsibility will be to design, test, and deploy robotic control algorithms for autonomous haulage, drills, dozers, and excavators. This involves combining expertise in robotics, mechatronics, control systems, and embedded software with deep exposure to the realities of mining operations.
Key responsibilities include:
* Designing and integrating robotic control algorithms for autonomous systems
* Developing and testing safety-critical automation systems, including braking, guidance, and collision avoidance
* Collaborating with computer vision and perception engineers to fuse GNSS, Lidar, radar, and camera data for machine navigation
* Contributing to digital twin simulations to validate robotics and fleet automation strategies before deployment
* Working closely with mining customers to deploy and validate autonomous systems in live mine environments
* Helping refine and expand RaptorOS to support scaling autonomy across fleets and sites
Requirements
To succeed in this role, you must possess a degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Control Systems, or related engineering field. Strong foundation in robotics, control, or automation, including modelling, kinematics, motion planning, and PID/control theory is essential.
Additional requirements include:
* Experience with embedded systems, C++/Python, or real-time robotics platforms
* Ability to work across disciplines, including vision, perception, and fleet optimisation
* Passion for applying robotics to real-world heavy equipment and mining challenges
* Australian work rights or eligibility to work in Australia
Desirable qualifications include:
* Exposure to ROS, simulation environments, or autonomous vehicle systems
* Experience with GNSS, sensor fusion, or safety-critical control systems
* Previous experience in mining, construction, or industrial automation
