About
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

- 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

- Programming and machine learning (C++, Python, LabVIEW, C#)
Microsoft Office Suite (including SharePoint)
Subsea design experience favorable but not essential.
