Firmware Engineer

Job Location: Adelaide, South Australia

Join a team building firmware for a next-generation microcontroller platform purpose-built for embedded and ML workloads.

This is a hands-on, hardware-close role. You'll be writing real firmware, bringing up boards, squeezing performance, and shipping things that actually run in the field.

If you like working close to sillicon and building efficient, reliable systems from scratch, this will feel right.

What you'll be doing:

  • Develop firmware and reference designs for a 32-bit microcontroller
  • Port TinyML or similar inference engines to custom MCUs
  • Work in BareMetal or RTOS environments (FreeRTOS, Zephyr)
  • Use Python for test automation and tooling
  • Support board bring-up, debugging, and performance tuning
  • Create example applications (e.g. predictive maintenance for sensors)

What you will bring:

  • Strong skills in C/C++ for embedded firmware
  • Hands-on BareMetal or RTOS experience (FreeRTOS, Zephyr)
  • Solid understanding of MCU architectures, memory, and peripherals.
  • Python for scripting, testing, and automation experience.
  • Experience porting TinyML or embedded ML frameworks.
  • Comfort working at SDK and hardware-adjacent levels

Nice to have

  • RISC-V exposure
  • Schematic or PCB familiarity
  • Firmware testing, CI/CD, or validation experience

Why this role?

  • Build embedded ML systems from the ground up - no legacy baggage
  • Join a stable, product-drive R&D team.
  • Help commericialize next-gen microcontroller platforms 
  • Long-term, low-bureaucracy environment with real impact.

Apply now or reach out if you want to build firmware where the hardware actually matters.

Senior Control Systems Engineer

Job Location: Adelaide, South Australia
 
Help bring powerful, planet-positive technology to life.
 
As a Senior Control Systems Engineer, you’ll be the brains behind the automation that powers advanced pyrolysis systems — converting organic waste into clean energy and carbon-storing biochar. You’ll design and deploy smart, safe, and efficient control solutions that keep operations running smoothly in real-world, high-temperature environments.
 
If you know how to build rock-solid control frameworks and want your work to make a global difference, this role is for you.
 
What You’ll Be Doing
 
  • Lead PLC/SCADA system design, development, and deployment across carbon conversion and energy recovery units.
  • Build smart control architectures with integrated sensors, safety interlocks, and thermal feedback systems.
  • Develop HMI interfaces and dashboards for real-time control, diagnostics, and tuning.
  • Support commissioning, troubleshooting, and remote monitoring of field systems.
  • Work closely with process engineers to align automation with thermal performance and yield goals.
What You Bring
 
  • 7+ years of industrial automation experience, ideally in clean energy or high-temperature systems.
  • Mastery of PLCs, SCADA, HMI platforms (Siemens, Rockwell, etc.).
  • Strong foundation in control theory, safety systems, and instrumentation.
  • A track record of delivering full control system lifecycle projects — from concept to commissioning.
  • Degree in Electrical, Mechatronics, or Control Systems Engineering.
Why This Role?
 
  • You’ll own automation for breakthrough carbon technologies.
  • You’ll help scale something that makes a real difference to industry and the environment.
  • You’ll be part of a team that values autonomy, precision, and practical problem-solving.
