Senior Hardware And Software Integration Engineer

Validation Engineer Software Test Engineer Integration Engineer Electronics Engineer Embedded Linux Engineer Mechatronics Engineer Systems Engineer Test Engineer Electrical Engineer Software Engineer Firmware Engineer 5-10 Years Exp
Job Location: Melbourne, Victoria

Salary: $125,000 – $150,000 

This role is for someone who understands how to make complex systems behave. You’ll be the person who sees the entire stack clearly. Custom hardware. Embedded Linux. Cloud ingestion. Web UI. Everything that can break will flow through you.

If you’re the kind of engineer who spots integration risks before others even notice them, this is your arena.

What You’ll Own

Your mandate is simple.
Ensure the full system works reliably end-to-end.
Not “in theory.” Not “on this branch.” In reality. Every release.

System-Level Testing & Validation

  • Build and maintain test cases, test plans and datasets for hardware, embedded and web components.

  • Plan, design and execute functional, system and regression tests across:

    • Embedded Linux applications on the device

    • Web applications receiving and presenting device data

  • Run end-to-end release testing for embedded, backend and web changes.

Debugging Across the Stack

  • Reproduce, isolate and diagnose issues spanning hardware, firmware, OS, backend and UI layers.

  • Validate data transmission, processing and presentation from device to cloud to interface.

  • Provide crisp, actionable problem descriptions so developers aren’t guessing.

Hardware + Firmware Interface Testing

  • Validate sensors, actuators, comms interfaces and environmental behaviours.

  • Execute hardware and firmware release testing.

  • Discover failure modes before they reach customers.

Cross-Team Collaboration

  • Work with hardware and software teams to align on test expectations and quality gates.

  • Raise risks early and objectively.

  • Improve tools, processes and documentation to prevent repeat issues.

What You Bring

This role requires competence, not buzzwords.

  • Strong analytical and debugging ability across multiple layers of a system.

  • Experience testing hardware–software integrated products.

  • Understanding of embedded systems or Linux-based devices.

  • Clear communication, especially when something is broken and people don’t want to hear it.

Useful additions (not mandatory):

  • Embedded Linux familiarity (logs, services, scripting).

  • Scripting or automation skills (Python, Bash).

  • Background in electronics, mechatronics, IoT or similar.

Why This Role Matters

When hardware, embedded software, backend services and UI interact, complexity compounds. One missed defect upstream becomes a downstream disaster. You are the safeguard against that.

If you want a role where your judgment determines whether the product is solid or brittle, this is it.

Ready to take ownership of a system where your decisions actually matter?

If you can spot integration failures before anyone else sees the smoke, and you want a role where the reliability of the entire product depends on your ability to think clearly and test rigorously, apply now.

Senior Electronic Engineer

Electronics Engineer 10+ Years Exp
Job Location: Melbourne, Victoria

Our client is hiring a Senior Electronics Engineer to strengthen their core engineering capability as they scale product development. This role suits someone who is deeply technical, structured in how they work, and comfortable owning complex electronics deliverables end to end.

You’ll play a key role in hardware architecture and execution, working alongside software and mechanical engineers to deliver robust, production-ready products.

What You’ll Do

  • Own electronics architecture and detailed hardware design across embedded systems

  • Ensure designs meet requirements around power, signal integrity, EMC, and manufacturability

  • Help improve development rigor, documentation, and delivery discipline across projects

What We’re Looking For

Required:

  • Strong experience in embedded electronics, including power systems, signal integrity, EMC, microcontrollers, and low-level firmware

  • Proven ability to work within structured development models

  • Confidence owning designs, schedules, and technical outcomes for complex hardware projects

  • Clear communicator with a pragmatic, systems-oriented approach to problem-solving

Why This Role Matters

This hire strengthens the company’s ability to deliver high-quality electronics in a disciplined, predictable way as product complexity increases.

If you enjoy working on real hardware, care about fundamentals, and want to build systems that hold up in the real world, this role gives you that platform.

Why Join Them

  • Serious engineering environment – Structured, methodical product development without chaos

  • Real technical ownership – Your decisions directly shape shipped systems

  • Long-term product focus – Build things properly, not just fast

Senior Embedded Engineer (Hardware + Firmware)

Electronics Engineer Firmware Engineer 5-10 Years Exp
Job Location: Adelaide, SA
 
Here’s the deal
 
We’ve built the first product of its kind for live sport already in stadiums, already generating revenue, and scaling fast. Now we need a hands-on engineer who can own the next hardware + firmware release end to end.
 
What you’ll tackle
  • Take charge of the MCU-based design: schematics, layout, bring-up, test.
  • Drive low-level C development, from board support through to production firmware.
  • Work with founders and field teams to turn game-day feedback into rock-solid features without slipping the schedule.
  • Keep the design docs tidy, the risk list honest, and the build pipeline humming.
Must-haves
  • 5–10 + years shipping embedded products that made it to paying customers.
  • Comfort wearing both hats, electronics design and C firmware.
  • A habit of spotting trade-offs early and calling them out in plain English.
  • Happy to follow a formal process when it matters, and to sprint when the clock is ticking.
  • Deadline-driven, “let’s just get it done” mindset.
  • On-site presence (Adelaide) – this hardware doesn’t debug itself over Zoom.
Nice-to-haves
  • You’ve delivered under tight broadcast or live-event timelines.
  • You’re a sports nut who knows the buzz of a packed stadium.
  • You like mentoring juniors and leaving a trail of clear docs behind you.
Why join
  • Structured bonus: ~AUD 5 k each year for meeting the plan.
  • Upside: uncapped discretionary rewards—our last big push saw the team pocket AUD 20 k each.
  • Direct line to the founders, zero corporate layers, and the thrill of seeing your work on screen before the final whistle.
Sound like you?
