Title: Signal Processing Engineer / Technology PhysicistDate: 12 Oct ****Location: Australia, Adelaide, AUBuild Sensing Technology That Finds What Others CannotMinelab designs and manufactures world-leading metal detectors used to find gold, recover historically significant objects and help humanitarian organisations clear landmines.The performance of our products begins with the underlying sensing technology.
We develop that technology - from first-principles investigation and rapid prototyping through to embedded algorithms, product integration and manufacturing.Minelab is part of Codan Limited, an ASX-listed global technology group and member of the S&P;/ASX 100.
This role is based at our head office in Mawson Lakes, Adelaide.About The RoleWe are looking for someone from either a signal processing engineering or physics background.You will join Minelab's Physics and Signal Processing team and help turn extremely faint sensor signals into reliable detection and classification performance.The work spans algorithm development, mathematical modelling, experimentation, data analysis and practical product development.
You will investigate new sensing concepts, bring up prototypes, analyse laboratory and field data, and help integrate successful algorithms into real products.The role is particularly well suited to someone equally comfortable with mathematical abstraction and physical experimentation - a deep technical thinker and hands‐on problem-solver who enjoys carrying ideas from first-principles analysis through working prototypes to proven real-world performance.What You'll DoDevelop statistical and digital signal-processing algorithms to detect and classify faint signals in challenging environmentsDesign robust signal features, estimators, classifiers and sensor‐calibration methodsBuild prototypes, plan experiments and evaluate competing approaches using laboratory and field dataInvestigate signal‐quality and system‐performance problems across sensors, electronics, algorithms and calibrationWork with embedded software, electronics,



mechanical and systems engineers to translate successful prototypes into reliable productsExplore new sensor concepts and technologies that could deliver meaningful customer benefitsWhat You'll BringA PhD in physics, electrical or electronic engineering, signal processing, applied mathematics or a related discipline is strongly preferred; candidates with equivalent depth developed through postgraduate study or relevant industry research will also be consideredStrong foundations in statistics, linear algebra and numerical methodsProficiency with numerical computing, preferably using Python and its scientific stackDepth in one or more of signal processing; detection, estimation or classification; mathematical or physical-system modelling; electromagnetic sensing; or machine learning applied to sensor dataThe ability to reason from first principles and test ideas against real dataA practical, collaborative approach and transparent technical communication skillsAdditional Experience We ValueC or C++ development for embedded or real-time systemsElectromagnetism, electronics, sensors or instrumentationExperimental design, system identification, sensor calibration or field testingProduct development from early prototype through to manufacturingEffective use of AI‐assisted development tools or coding agentsBenefits And CultureOur culture is supportive and collaborative.
You will be part of a multidisciplinary team where we share our ideas and innovation is strongly encouraged.
We are looking for someone with genuine passion and can‐do attitude for what they do.Our Head office is located in Mawson Lakes offering a spacious, contemporary facility, free secure onsite parking, easy access via public transport, and an onsite subsidised café.
We also have recreational facilities including a gym, basketball and tennis court, as well as various game tables.
Additionally, our staff are provided flexibility to meet the demands of family life, a child‐friendly parenting room, and a variety of staff events to connect with colleagues across the Codan Group.
