Senior LTE Engineer

Network Engineer 5-10 Years Exp
Job Location: Brisbane, Queensland

A major industrial operator is replacing a legacy OT Wi-Fi network with a site-wide LTE infrastructure. This isn’t a maintenance job. It’s a ground-up rollout where one engineer becomes the technical cornerstone of a new capability.

If you want ownership, influence, and the chance to shape how LTE is deployed in a live production environment, this is the platform.

The Project

The organisation is redesigning its network stack to support autonomous equipment and next-generation operational systems.

You will lead the LTE layer of the rollout:

Replace existing OT Wi-Fi with LTE infrastructure
Integrate LTE into active operational systems
Advise on architecture and deployment strategy
Establish the internal LTE capability the business will scale around

You are not joining an LTE team. You are helping create it.

The Role

A hybrid of:

LTE deployment specialist
Operations engineer
Embedded technical advisor

The early phase is rollout-heavy and project driven. Once stabilised, the role transitions into long-term operational ownership.

You will be relied on for judgement and experience. This is a high-impact individual contributor role where your decisions matter.

Environment

Brisbane-based role
3–4 days in office, 1–2 days WFH
Minimal site travel
Embedded full-time with the end client

The team culture is collaborative, direct, and hands-on. Engineers share responsibility, step in to help, and focus on delivery rather than politics.

Ideal Background

Strong signals include:
Real LTE network deployment experience
OT / industrial networking environments
Experience integrating wireless infrastructure into existing systems
Comfortable advising on rollout decisions
Able to act as a technical reference point
Independent and pragmatic problem solver

Industry background is flexible. Depth of LTE experience is the key requirement.

Why This Role Matters

Most LTE roles are incremental upgrades to existing systems. This is foundational work. You are creating capability, not inheriting it.

That level of ownership is rare and career-defining.

If you want a role where your technical decisions shape long-term infrastructure, reach out for a confidential discussion.

Embedded Linux Software Engineer

Embedded Linux Engineer 10+ Years Exp 5-10 Years Exp
Job Location: Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

A defence-focused engineering group is expanding its embedded software capability to support new programs, higher demand, and a rapidly evolving technology roadmap.

This is a hands-on, hardware-proximate environment where embedded, systems, electrical, and mechanical engineers build real systems together, not in silos.

Location: Canberra (onsite) | Melbourne considered only for exceptional candidates.

What You’ll Be Building

You'll work on real-time embedded systems used for tracking, stabilisation, sensing, and fire-control. Core technologies include:

  • Embedded Linux, C, C++

  • Real-time, low-level hardware integration

  • Computer vision and image-processing pipelines

  • ML-assisted tracking (integration, not research)

  • Java for orchestration and system coordination

  • Python for testing, prototyping, and harnesses

  • TI DSPs, microprocessors, sensors, gimbals, motor control

  • A future shift into Xilinx UltraScale FPGA platforms

Who Thrives Here

This isn’t for abstract architects or people who want to stay “high level”. It suits engineers who like real systems, real hardware, real constraints.

You’ll be a strong match if you:

  • Are eligible for Australian security clearance (and meet ITAR conditions)

  • Are comfortable working on defence and weapons-adjacent systems

  • Love embedded systems, sensing, CV, and real-time tech

  • Are product-driven and stay in the fight until the system works

  • Want genuine cross-disciplinary collaboration and increasing technical responsibility

Why This Team Stands Out

  • Hardware, software, electrical, mechanical, and systems engineering all within metres of each other

  • Deep exposure across multiple programs. No silos.

  • Locally engineered, built, and integrated equipment

  • Access to cutting-edge embedded tech: real-time CV, stabilisation, ML-assisted tracking, FPGA platforms

  • Strong upside for engineers aiming at senior/principal pathways

If You’re Interested

Apply NOW - if you're even close to this profile, I’ll walk you through the role and see if the match is real.
