Production Technician

Job Location: Melbourne, Victoria

The Role

This is a hands-on production role for someone who actually knows their way around electronics, not just at a surface level. You’ll be working on complex electronic assemblies where precision matters and mistakes are not tolerated. If you enjoy fault-finding, component-level repair, and taking pride in doing things properly, this role fits.

What you’ll do

  • Documenting and reporting repair work performed.

  • Repairing down to component level.

What we’re looking for

  • Strong soldering skills to replace components, including those as small as 0201 and lead-less components.

  • Experience in conducting component-level repairs.

  • Troubleshooting skills, analogue and digital PCB assemblies.

  • Ability to read schematics, assembly drawings and data sheets.

  • Familiar with using electronic test and measurement equipment for fault diagnosis.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Nice to have

  • Experience in manufacturing or servicing electronic devices.

  • Ability to obtain and maintain necessary certifications as required.

  • Demonstrate a positive attitude and inspire a collaborative team environment.

  • A commitment to high-quality workmanship and attention to detail.

Why this role exists

The business designs and builds highly specialised electronic systems where reliability is non-negotiable. This role exists because repairing, diagnosing, and documenting faults properly at component level is critical to maintaining product quality, compliance, and customer trust. This is not volume production. It’s precision work that directly impacts outcomes.

Why join

 

You’ll be working on meaningful, real-world technology where quality actually matters. You won’t be boxed into mindless rework or rushed shortcuts. The environment values technical competence, accountability, and people who take ownership of their work. If you want stability, technical depth, and the chance to sharpen your skills on complex electronics, this role delivers that without the corporate noise.

If you’re the type who takes pride in fixing things properly and not just making them look fixed, you should apply. Strong technicians are rare, and this role is for someone who wants to be trusted with real responsibility.

Senior IoT Design Engineer

Job Location: Melbourne, Victoria

Most Linux roles are about adding features.
This one is about stopping systems from failing.

If you’ve ever been the person called in after an embedded Linux device starts misbehaving in the field. Random reboots. Broken drivers. Library conflicts no one can explain. You already know what this role is.

This is not application development.
This is owning the operating system layer that decides whether the product survives.

You’ll own the Linux foundation of a production IoT device. This is engine-room work. Drivers, system libraries, boot behavior, and the boundaries where things actually break.

If you want surface-level application work, this isn’t it.
If you want ownership of the OS stack everything depends on, read on.


What You’ll Do

Platform and OS Engineering

  • Build, customize, and maintain Linux-based systems for embedded and IoT devices.

  • Debug driver-level issues, kernel interactions, and system-level library conflicts.

  • Optimize boot time, memory usage, and overall system reliability.

  • Integrate and harden system services for real-world deployment.

Security matters, but this is not a theory role. You’ll work with encryption and hardware security where required, not argue about it on a whiteboard.


Firmware and System Integration

  • Own the boundary between firmware, kernel, drivers, and userspace.

  • Integrate first- and third-party libraries into packaged deployments.

  • Debug issues that cross firmware, OS, and application layers.

  • Ensure changes in one layer do not destabilize the rest of the system.


Application and Cloud Interfaces

  • Support system-level interfaces between devices and AWS services.

  • Enable reliable data flow between edge devices and the cloud.

  • Contribute to embedded application work when deep system knowledge is required.


What You Bring

This role is for engineers who have built Linux systems, not just used them.

You bring:

  • Deep, hands-on Linux systems experience.

  • Comfort working close to drivers and low-level components.

  • Strong C/C++ skills. Java experience is useful where it touches native interfaces.

  • The ability to debug problems that do not have clean stack traces.

  • A bias toward correctness, stability, and control.


What This Role Demands

You will operate with ownership.

That means solving problems at the root, making decisions with incomplete information, and accepting that edge devices fail unless every layer is engineered properly.

If you need constant direction, this isn’t your role.
If you want control over the technical foundation of a real IoT product, it is.


Ready to own the core?

If you are the engineer people call when Linux systems misbehave, this is your seat.

You will own the platform decisions that determine whether the product survives in the field or quietly fails. Your work will be felt in every boot and every failure that never happens.

This is not a role for tourists or feature chasers.
It is for engineers who want control, accountability, and authority.

Step in if you want real ownership.
