Perth, Western Australia RaptorTech Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year
About Us

RaptorTech is building the future of mining automation. Through our RaptorOS platform, we deliver a disruptive Technology-as-a-Service (TaaS) model that makes advanced autonomy affordable and scalable across the mining sector. Our systems integrate robotics, computer vision, control, fleet optimisation, and collision avoidance into a single modular ecosystem.

With proven deployments of our technology, we deliver immediate and sustained ROI for customers – boosting productivity, cutting downtime, and reducing emissions by 10–20%. We are scaling rapidly and expanding our cross-disciplinary engineering team to accelerate development of next-generation autonomous mining solutions.


The Role

We are looking for mixed discipline roles in our Robotics & Automation Engineering team, you will design, test, and deploy the robotics and control systems that power RaptorTech's autonomous mining machines. From robotic haul trucks to precision-guided drills, your work will shape how autonomy is implemented in one of the world's most critical industries.

This role is hands-on, applied, and multi-disciplinary: combining robotics, mechatronics, control systems, and embedded software with deep exposure to the realities of mining operations.


What You'll Do
  • Design and integrate robotic control algorithms for autonomous haulage, drills, dozers, and excavators.
  • Develop and test safety-critical automation systems, including braking, guidance, and collision avoidance.
  • Collaborate with computer vision and perception engineers to fuse GNSS, Lidar, radar, and camera data for machine navigation.
  • Contribute to digital twin simulations to validate robotics and fleet automation strategies before deployment.
  • Work closely with mining customers to deploy and validate autonomous systems in live mine environments.
  • Help refine and expand RaptorOS to support scaling autonomy across fleets and sites.

What We're Looking For
  • A degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Control Systems, or related engineering field.
  • Strong foundation in robotics, control, or automation (modelling, kinematics, motion planning, PID/control theory).
  • Experience with embedded systems, C++/Python, or real-time robotics platforms.
  • Ability to work across disciplines (vision, perception, fleet optimisation).
  • Passion for applying robotics to real-world heavy equipment and mining challenges.
  • Australian work rights or eligibility to work in Australia

Desirable:

  • Exposure to ROS, simulation environments, or autonomous vehicle systems.
  • Experience with GNSS, sensor fusion, or safety-critical control systems.
  • Previous experience in mining, construction, or industrial automation.

Why Join RaptorTech?
  • Be part of a team combining robotics, vision, AI, and mining expertise into a single disruptive product suite.
  • Shape technology that is already delivering 10x ROI for customers and is setting a new global benchmark in mining autonomy.
  • Enjoy challenging technical opportunities for international exposure as RaptorTech expands globally
  • Contribute to making mining safer, more productive, and more sustainable.
