Work with real autonomous vehicles, AI and next-generation logistics technology at Brisbane Port.

The project

Pacificas 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, strong 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 architecture
- Fleet Management Systems
- Vehicle commissioning and testing
- LiDAR, GNSS, cameras and other vehicle sensors
- Sensor installation and calibration




- System diagnostics and troubleshooting
- Structured testing and reporting
- Safe operation of autonomous vehicles in a live port environment
- Technical issue identification and escalation
- Working with Westwell's engineering and product teams

What you'll do

This 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 environments
- Use and modify Python scripts for testing, diagnostics and troubleshooting
- Monitor vehicles and equipment through the Fleet Management System
- Record, track and escalate technical issues using tools such as Jira
- Execute structured test cases and prepare test reports
- Record operational issues, vehicle performance and KPI data
- Support on-site commissioning and testing of autonomous vehicles
- Investigate software, hardware and network-related issues
- Work with LiDAR, GNSS, cameras and other vehicle sensors
- Assist with sensor installation, adjustment and calibration
- Work with onboard computers and networking equipment
- Reinstall and configure Linux systems where required




- Safely operate vehicles using approved remote-control systems, following training
- Work closely with Australian and international engineering teams to diagnose and resolve issues

About you

We 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 line
- Working knowledge of Python and the ability to understand or modify scripts
- An interest in autonomous systems, robotics, AI or industrial automation
- Robust practical problem-solving skills
- The ability and willingness to work across both software and hardware
- Strong learning capability
- Good communication skills
- A responsible and safety-conscious approach
- The ability to work effectively within a technical team

You 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 advantage

Previous experience in these areas is highly regarded but not essential:

- Working within a port, terminal, logistics, transport or industrial environment
- Exposure to autonomous vehicles, robotics or industrial automation
- Commissioning or field-service engineering
- Automotive, heavy vehicle or mobile equipment environments
- Diesel mechanical knowledge or experience
- Vehicle electrical or electronic
