Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Melbourne

Design, develop, test, and deploy autonomous behaviors for uncrewed aircraft. Build sensor-fusion and autonomy solutions using real sensor data, validate systems through software- and hardware-in-the-loop simulations, and integrate autonomy products with third-party aircraft and systems. Collaborate across AI, robotics, and systems engineering teams while contributing to architecture, code quality, design reviews, and engineering best practices. Lead and mentor junior engineers.

Design, develop, test, and deploy autonomous behaviors for uncrewed aircraft. Build sensor-fusion solutions, autonomy systems, and high-fidelity software and hardware-in-the-loop simulations. Integrate autonomy products with third-party aircraft and systems, collaborate across AI, robotics, and systems engineering teams, contribute to architecture and code quality, and mentor junior engineers.

Serve as a customer-facing technical expert for defense simulation, synthetic environments, and AI-enabled mission systems. Support discovery, demonstrations, technical briefings, proposals, RFIs, RFPs, and capture activities. Translate customer mission needs into solution concepts, demos, and product feedback while explaining image generation, LVC architectures, sensor simulation, threat models, and synthetic agents. Build relationships with defense stakeholders across Australia, the Indo-Pacific, AUKUS, and allied markets, working cross-functionally with business development, product, engineering, and program teams.

Own C++ build and release workflows for autonomy and vision software, including reproducible builds, dependency management, containerized CI/CD, artifact repositories, promotion gates, testing, packaging, and edge deployment. Maintain delivery systems across isolated or air-gapped environments, troubleshoot integration issues, and collaborate with engineering and systems teams to ensure reliable, repeatable releases.

Research, design, implement, and deploy state-of-the-art deep learning perception solutions for autonomous and non-autonomous platforms. Develop computer vision capabilities, deploy AI systems to edge devices, build scalable deep learning tools, contribute to R&D, and collaborate with engineers. The role also involves applying modern architectures, optimizing embedded production models, supporting MLOps, and potentially mentoring junior team members.

Leads end-to-end contracting for Australian Defence, allied government, commercial, and strategic partnership agreements. Responsibilities include tender support, negotiation, contract administration, software and IP licensing, technical-data rights, risk management, modifications, claims, disputes, compliance, and closeout. Advises cross-functional stakeholders and customers while developing scalable contracting processes for a defence-technology company.

Develop and maintain software for mission systems and support tools, including writing new code, fixing bugs, meeting schedules, and collaborating on application design. The role requires strong C++, JavaScript, and ReactJS skills, analytical problem-solving, software module development, source-code maintenance, and clear technical communication. Preferred experience includes GIS mapping, interactive map libraries, video processing, and frontend UI/UX design.

Designs and integrates systems across Hivemind Vision and Mission Autonomy stacks. Captures requirements, develops system architectures, creates SysML/UML/UPDM models, supports MBSE workflows, and connects system models with codebases. Collaborates with program leadership, design, development, integration, testing, product, and business development teams. Maintains systems engineering processes and reports project status, risks, and accomplishments to senior leadership.

Lead proactive talent discovery and market mapping across EMEA and APJ for Go-to-Market and Engineering roles. Build data-driven sourcing strategies, generate pipelines using advanced Boolean and niche platforms, engage passive and cleared candidates, coach recruiters and hiring managers, and partner with TA ops, branding, and university teams to optimize outreach and hiring outcomes.

Lead design, implementation, and integration of real-time and faster-than-real-time distributed simulation frameworks for mission autonomy of uncrewed aircraft. Develop high-performance C++ simulation software, integrate defence simulation tools (AFSIM/NGTS), deploy containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes), and lead multidisciplinary teams to support testing, CI/CD, HWIL/SWIL, and operational mission readiness.
