Embedded Software Engineer

About SEITEC

Our vision is to become a global leader in seismic target detection and tracking solutions. Following our commercialisation in 2021, we have developed two core products NIGHTINGALE and UXOTRACKS, our software-defined, deployable seismic sensor systems to help our customers see things, find things and anticipate things.

Our products leverage cutting-edge AI to track specific targets of interest for our customers. Our highly skilled hardware and software engineers are at the forefront of this unique technology, ensuring that we deliver a revolutionary approach to seismic detection systems.

About the opportunity

We're looking for a talented Embedded Software Engineer to build, scale and support complex sensor systems operating in real-world environments.

In this role, you'll design and implement embedded software that runs on STM based systems, contributing to the core functions of real-time data processing, seismic/acoustic spectrum signal detection, and automated responses to detected events over low-bandwidth communications channels.

As our Embedded Software Engineer, you'll be at the heart of our STM32-based seismic sensor development, writing efficient embedded C to bring our research to life. You'll take algorithms crafted in MATLAB and Python (including Scikit-learn and TensorFlow) and translate them into streamlined, real-time C code. You'll also drive the implementation and optimisation of LoRa/LoRaWAN communications, enabling our systems to operate reliably in the most remote and demanding conditions.

Candidates must have proficiency in C programming language for firmware development.

You will collaborate with our diverse team of technical experts spanning AI/ML, data science, hardware and software engineering, and cloud infrastructure to create robust solutions capable of handling mission-critical workloads. The software you build will directly support applications in security, defence, and remote surveillance.

At SEITEC, you're ultimately responsible for the success of our technology, through effective engineering delivery, ensuring that each product release meets the highest standards of functionality and performance.

About you

SEITEC's engineers are proudly committed to our vision and mission. We genuinely love what we do, keeping us motivated and focused. We thrive on being challenged.

We have extensive experience developing high reliability software. We're seeking like-minded people with a proven track record in building complex technologies that integrate hardware, software, and cloud-based components.

Specifically, we are looking for candidates with:

• At least 5 years software engineering experience

• Tertiary qualifications in Software Engineering or Computer Science

• Australian citizen, with the ability to obtain a Defence Security Clearance

• Proven experience developing applications in modern C on resource constrained systems

• Strong problem solving and analytical skills

• Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to effectively communicate complex ideas

• Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, with demonstrated use in real-time embedded systems. Including but not limited to: ACID properties, idempotency, abstraction and modularity, unit testing and code reviews.

And bonus points for:

• Background working in a dynamic start-up or early-stage scale-up

• Experience with STM-based systems

• Hands-on experience building spec-compliant LoRaWAN end devices

• Solid understanding of concurrency & distributed systems

• Some experience in machine learning, seismic/acoustic signal processing, and/or general DSP

• Experience building systems for remote and inaccessible environments.

Your interpersonal skills

We value the breadth and depth of experience that our people bring to their work. We are seeking teammates with a strong mix of technical competency and interpersonal skills.

As a key support to the CTO, you will tackle unique technical challenges that demand lateral thinking. You are an accountable software engineer, fully invested in the team's success.

At this point, we hope you're feeling excited about the job description you're reading. Even if you don't feel that you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply. We always aim to recruit the candidate who is most suited to the job and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds.
