We're on a mission to solve challenges such as the:
$166bn housing crisis as new home constructions plunged to its lowest in a decade
Workforce shortage in the infrastructure construction $127bn industry
With industrial automation and on-site Quality Control.
We develop laser-augmented robotic vision systems that enable real-time 3D reconstruction.
Our flagship product "Ultra-Vision", is the rugged compact solution that brings laboratory-grade science to heavy industries.
The Team & Key Responsibilities
You'll be part of an R&D; team of ML/AI, Electronics, Mechanical, Firmware, Optical Engineers.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) you'll work on-site with customers in the goods / food manufacturing, mining and construction & infrastructure industries, across 15 operational sites, some in regional Australia.

Discovery: uncover integration requirements, dependencies, security and compliance requirements
On-site Resolution & Demos: to ensure the prototype is production-ready and fit for a successful deployment, you often have to build custom practical adaptations & tooling on client sites.
Deliver compelling demos and walkthroughs
Be the eyes of Zabidou: identify friction, quality issues, product gaps, and edge cases from your field observation.
Report with precision and attention to detail.
Collaborate with Product and Engineering to align often messy real-world production processes to Zabidou's capabilities and customer requirements, while staying grounded in roadmap feasibility.
Key Skills & Experience:
You've freshly graduated from an Engineering degree, preferably inMechatronics / Robotics.
