Senior Software Engineer (C++)
 

Robotic Simulation | Geelong Hybrid
 

The Opportunity
 

Join a growing team developing advanced simulation platforms used in mission-critical training environments. The work spans C++ development, robotics and immersive 3D environments, with the scope to tackle complex problems that have real-world impact.

Why Now
 

The organisation is scaling delivery on major national programs and investing in next-generation platforms. The software team is evolving with clearer technical ownership and a stronger focus on peer review and quality assurance, creating space for engineers to shape direction and raise the bar.

What You Will Do

  • Design, develop and test software in C++. Rust exposure is valued but not essential
  • Apply coding standards, best practice and structured problem solving
  • Manage actions, bugs and user stories in Jira
  • Contribute to system design and requirements analysis, and support integration of software with hardware
  • Play an active role in peer review and quality assurance so solutions are reliable and production-ready

What They Are Looking For

  • Strong proficiency in C++. Certification is highly regarded
  • Around 4+ years of software engineering experience
  • Experience across defence, avionics, gaming or simulation. Unity or Unreal is an advantage
  • Exposure to distributed systems and solid backend principles. Experience with Docker or Kubernetes is a plus
  • Strong analytical skills, clear communication and the ability to work well in a multidisciplinary team

The Practicalities

  • Hybrid model, three days onsite and two remote
  • Based in Geelong, also suitable for candidates living in Melbourne's western suburbs within a commutable distance
  • Australian citizenship with eligibility for a Baseline Security Clearance
  • Must not appear on the US ITAR restricted parties list. Pre-employment checks, including a police check, will apply

The Process
 

Two interviews. No take-home coding test. Expect in-depth technical conversations and walkthroughs of your previous engineering work.

Bottom Line
 

Best suited to engineers who enjoy complex technical challenges and want to see their work applied in real-world training environments.
