Senior Automation & Mechatronics Engineer
n RETAINED SEARCH | EXCLUSIVE LISTING
n About the Company
n Our client is part of a global organisation that designs and delivers advanced industrial wireless remote-control, automation and safety solutions for the mining, heavy mobile equipment and industrial sectors.
n
From autonomous drill rigs to IoT-enabled machinery, machine safety systems and bespoke automation solutions, every project is different. Rather than supplying off-the-shelf products, the engineering team works closely with customers to develop creative solutions tailored to their specific operational requirements.
n
As demand continues to grow, we're looking for an experienced Senior Mechatronics Engineer to provide technical leadership while remaining hands-on in the design and development of cutting-edge automation solutions.
n
About the Role
n This is far more than a software development role.
n While software engineering is a key part of the position, you'll also lead complex automation projects from concept through to commissioning, mentor a small team of engineers and work directly with customers to develop innovative solutions.
n
n
- Lead customised automation and software development projects from concept through to commissioning.
n
- Design and develop software for industrial automation, remote-control and machine safety systems.
n
- Mentor and support a team of three Software/Mechatronics Engineers.
n
- Work directly with customers to develop tailored automation and control solutions.
n
- Provide technical leadership, problem-solving and engineering guidance across multiple projects.
n
n
About You
n You'll be an experienced Mechatronics, Controls, Automation or Embedded Software Engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems, leading projects and developing people.
n Ideally, you'll bring:
n
n
- Strong experience developing software for industrial automation or machine control systems.
n
- Experience with CodeSys, C/C++, Python, Linux and/or PLC programming.
n
- Knowledge of industrial communications, control systems or machine safety.
n
- The ability to mentor and develop other engineers.
n
- Excellent problem-solving, communication and customer engagement skills.
n
n
Experience with Qt, IoT technologies or AutoCAD Electrical will be highly regarded but isn't essential.
n
What's in it for You?
n
n
- Work on genuinely innovative automation projects where no two solutions are the same.
n
- Join a growing global business with genuine long-term career opportunities.
n
- Flexible working hours within an outcomes-focused culture.
