Immersive Simulation | Geelong Hybrid

Australian Citizenship Required, Baseline Security Clearance (supported if not held)

The Prospect

Join a growing engineering team building advanced simulation platforms used in mission‑critical training environments. The role sits at the intersection of C++ software development, robotics, and immersive simulation, working on complex systems where reliability, performance, and correctness genuinely matter.

Why Now

The organisation is scaling delivery across long‑term national programs and investing in the evolution of its core simulation platforms. The software team is maturing with clearer technical ownership, stronger engineering standards, and an increased focus on verification and quality, creating an opportunity for senior engineers to influence how systems are designed and delivered.

What You Will Do
Design, develop and test production‑grade software primarily in C++
Contribute to system design, requirements analysis,



and technical decision‑making
Implement structured error handling, verification and validation activities, and clear technical documentation
Work closely with hardware, robotics, and simulation engineers to integrate software into physical systems
Participate actively in peer review and quality assurance practices
Manage tasks, bugs, and user stories through Jira and related tooling

What They Are Looking For
Solid commercial experience developing software in C++, with exposure to Rust beneficial but not required
Senior‑level experience, ideally 7+ years or equivalent depth working on complex systems
Backgrounds in defence, robotics, automotive, avionics, simulation, or other safety‑or performance‑critical settings are highly regarded
Engineers from game development backgrounds are also encouraged
