Job Description
The Opportunity
We have a rare opening for either a Design Engineer or Senior Design Engineer to join our innovative engineering team that gets excited about solving complex challenges. Located in our state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary Balcatta workshop, you will work on the following type of projects:
- Development of electric ROVs (remote operated vehicles) and associated tooling (electrical and hydraulic systems).
- Integration of machine learning and computer vision for object recognition and tracking, intelligent control and automation.
- Vision systems including camera technologies and image processing.
Your responsibilities include:
- Design and development of tooling for ROVs and subsea equipment.
- Contribute to the advancement of eROV, USV systems, Vision systems, and associated tooling.
- Review and verify technical outputs including drawings, schematics, programming, and system designs.
- Take ownership of specific projects, leading junior and graduate engineers as required.
- Support the Lead Design Engineer with day-to-day engineering tasks and project coordination, and act as the lead in their absence, ensuring continuity and quality of work.
About You
We are looking for someone approachable, eager to learn, and able to stay focused and productive with minimal distractions. You take ownership of your work, completing assigned work packs independently from start to finish, and thrive in dynamic environments—whether in a design office or providing technical support to operations.
Your success in securing this role will require:
- Strong proficiency in both mechanical and software engineering disciplines.
- Solid understanding of hydraulics, electronics and electrical systems.
- Strong experience with quality management systems and processes.
- Advanced computer skills, including:
- CAD software (Solidworks, Draftsight/AutoCAD, Altium Designer)
- Programming and machine learning (C++, Python, LabVIEW, C#)
- Microsoft Office Suite (including SharePoint)
- Subsea design experience favorable but not essential.

With clients spanning land, sea and space, our respected reputation is grounded in valuing our employees as our greatest asset, a steadfast commitment to delivery excellence, and an innovative approach that leverages cutting-edge technology to solve our clients' challenges.
Our engineering team provides subsea services to the Australia, Asia, and Pacific regions, including construction, inspection, repair, maintenance (IMR), and decommissioning. Reducing our carbon footprint, we lead the way in advanced remote system technology solutions, including Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) and Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs).
How we work
At Fugro, we embrace a collaborative way of working where people are encouraged to be themselves, recognising that diverse voices and cultures contribute unique perspectives, spark creativity, and drive innovation.
We aim to help our people grow toward their full potential by promoting alignment, autonomy, and personal accountability—within a supportive, knowledge-sharing environment. While we value the flexibility of remote work, we also value face-to-face interactions, whiteboard discussions and sharing a meal together.

- Competitive compensation | Annual salary reviews
- 12 week Parental Leave policy
