Job Description

In modern conflict, detection is everything.

Job Description

In modern conflict, detection is everything.

But what if your system could detect without giving away its position?

What if you could track a threat in real time - without sending a signal?

What if the edge of the electromagnetic spectrum wasn't just a battleground, but your advantage?

This company is answering those questions.

They're designing fielded sensor systems that combine hardware, signal processing, and embedded intelligence - all built and owned here in Australia. Just tech that works, and is already in the hands of customers.

They're now hiring a Software Engineering Lead to head up the embedded software team behind these products. You'll be managing engineers working at the lowest levels of the stack - Embedded C/C++, firmware, FPGA/VHDL - with direct influence over product capability and technical direction.

What You'll Do

  • Lead a 5-person embedded software team delivering real-time sensing and control software
  • Build new features, maintain legacy systems, and ensure everything shipped is ready for the field
  • Review code, manage team priorities, unblock engineers, and align delivery with broader product goals
  • Interface with other engineering streams (hardware, systems, infra, apps) to ensure end-to-end integration
  • Lift the bar on quality through best practices in design, documentation, testing and dev tooling

What You Bring
  • Australian citizenship and NV1 clearance (or eligibility)
  • 2–3+ years hands-on experience with embedded software/firmware development in real-time, multi-threaded environments and FPGAs
  • Comfortable leading projects or small teams and coaching engineers through complexity
  • Practical mindset: you know how to balance beautiful code with tight field requirements

Why Join

You won't be building prototypes that sit in a lab. You'll be leading the team responsible for the software that runs on deployed systems - systems built to perform in contested environments and unpredictable conditions.

This is tech that matters. Built locally. Backed by real customers. And growing fast.
