About the project:
The role supports an established Autonomous Haulage System (AHS) development program within our clients' Autonomy team.
The program is a mature Research & Development initiative focused on advancing autonomous mining technology, system integration, and operational reliability. Working alongside their key technology partner, the team continues to enhance autonomous solutions across heavy mobile equipment and remote mining environments.
About the role:
An opportunity exists for an experienced Field Engineer to join a leading Autonomy team supporting the ongoing development, testing, and verification of AHS technology at a major Western Australian mining operation.
This role will focus on executing field testing activities, system integration verification, fault diagnosis, and performance validation across complex autonomous mining systems. Working closely with engineering teams, operations personnel, and OEM technology partners, you will play a key role in ensuring autonomous systems are safe, reliable, and ready for operational deployment.
You will be responsible for conducting hands-on testing across autonomous vehicle systems, analysing system performance, troubleshooting hardware and software integration issues, and supporting continuous improvement initiatives within an established autonomy program.
