Work with real autonomous vehicles, AI and next-generation logistics technology at Brisbane Port.The projectPacificas Freight is building a local engineering team to support the Australian rollout of Westwell autonomous vehicle technology at Brisbane Port.
We are looking for technically capable recent graduates and early-career engineers, including candidates with up to around two years of relevant experience, who want to work directly with autonomous vehicles in a live industrial environment.Westwell is an international technology company transforming logistics through the combination of artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, new-energy vehicles and intelligent fleet-management technology.
Its technology is being deployed across ports and logistics environments internationally.You will be employed by Pacificas Freight Pty Ltd as part of the Australian project team supporting Westwell's technology deployment.You bring the foundations.
We provide the training.You do not need previous experience operating Westwell autonomous vehicles.
We are looking for good technical fundamentals, solid learning ability and the confidence to work across both software and physical equipment.If you bring a working understanding of Python, Linux and engineering or computing fundamentals, Pacificas Freight and Westwell will provide the product and project-specific training required to work with the autonomous vehicle platform.
Training and practical exposure will include:Westwell autonomous vehicle systems and architectureFleet Management SystemsVehicle commissioning and testingLiDAR, GNSS, cameras and other vehicle sensorsSensor installation and calibrationSystem diagnostics and troubleshootingStructured testing and reportingSafe operation of autonomous vehicles in a live port environmentTechnical issue identification and escalationWorking with Westwell's engineering and product teamsWhat you'll doThis is a hands-on engineering role combining software, hardware and field operations.
Working alongside the local project team and Westwell technical specialists, you will support the commissioning, testing, operation and ongoing performance of autonomous vehicles.Operate and support systems within Linux environmentsUse and modify Python scripts for testing, diagnostics and troubleshootingMonitor vehicles and equipment through the Fleet Management SystemRecord,



track and elevate technical issues using tools such as JiraExecute structured test cases and prepare test reportsRecord operational issues, vehicle performance and KPI dataSupport on-site commissioning and testing of autonomous vehiclesInvestigate software, hardware and network-related issuesWork with LiDAR, GNSS, cameras and other vehicle sensorsAssist with sensor installation, adjustment and calibrationWork with onboard computers and networking equipmentReinstall and configure Linux systems where requiredSafely operate vehicles using approved remote-control systems, following trainingWork closely with Australian and international engineering teams to diagnose and resolve issuesAbout youWe are interested in both high-potential graduates and candidates who have already developed some relevant practical experience.
Relevant backgrounds include computer science, software engineering, mechatronics, robotics, artificial intelligence, electrical or electronic engineering, automation, mechanical engineering and related technical disciplines.Ideally, you will have:A sound foundation in Linux and confidence using the command lineWorking knowledge of Python and the ability to understand or modify scriptsAn interest in autonomous systems, robotics, AI or industrial automationStrong practical problem-solving skillsThe ability and willingness to work across both software and hardwareStrong learning capabilityGood communication skillsA responsible and safety-conscious approachThe ability to work effectively within a technical teamYou may be a recent university graduate or have up to around two years of relevant engineering, technology, operations or field experience.Experience that gives you an advantagePrevious experience in these areas is highly regarded but not essential:Working within a port, terminal, logistics, transport or industrial environmentExposure to autonomous vehicles, robotics or industrial automationCommissioning or field-service engineeringAutomotive,



heavy vehicle or mobile equipment environmentsDiesel mechanical knowledge or experienceVehicle electrical or electronic systemsSensors, networking or onboard computing systemsTroubleshooting machinery or electromechanical equipmentFew early-career candidates will have experience across all of these.
We are particularly interested in people who have the technical foundations and the aptitude to learn quickly.Mandarin and EnglishProfessional working proficiency in both Mandarin Chinese and English is required.
The project involves direct technical communication between the Australian project team and Mandarin-speaking Westwell product and engineering teams, so you must be comfortable discussing technical and operational matters in both languages.The working environmentThis is predominantly a site-based position at Brisbane Port, working around autonomous vehicles, equipment and port infrastructure.The project operates across extended hours, so you must be comfortable working a roster that may include day and night shifts.
Safety, disciplined operating procedures and clear communication are critical parts of the role.Why join the project?
This is an unusual opportunity to build practical experience with autonomous technology operating in the real world.
Depending on your existing experience, you will have the opportunity to:Work directly with autonomous vehiclesDevelop practical experience across Python, Linux, sensors and vehicle systemsLearn from Westwell technical and product specialistsUnderstand how AI and autonomous systems move from technology into real operationsWork across software, hardware and operational engineeringGain experience within a major port environmentDevelop field engineering and troubleshooting capabilityTake part in an emerging autonomous logistics capability in AustraliaFor graduates, this is a chance to turn university knowledge into practical capability.
For engineers with some existing experience, it is a route into autonomous systems, AI-enabled logistics and intelligent vehicles.If you have strong technical foundations, enjoy solving real-world problems and want to work at the intersection of software, AI, vehicles and industrial operations, we would like to hear from you.Pacificas Freight is an equal opportunity employer.
We value distinct perspectives and assess every candidate on their ability, experience and potential to contribute to the mission.
