Our client is seeking a hands-on Prototype Integration & Test Engineer to join a small engineering team delivering an exciting technology Proof of Concept within the mining and industrial technology sector.

This is a unique opportunity to work on the integration, assembly and testing of a portable technology platform incorporating embedded hardware, positioning technology, industrial communications and rugged field deployment.
Working alongside an experienced Solution Architect and Project Manager, you'll play a key role in transforming a concept into a working prototype and supporting its testing and validation.

The Opportunity
This is not a traditional support or maintenance role.
You'll be involved in every stage of prototype development, including hardware integration, system assembly, testing, troubleshooting and validation.The successful candidate will work within a collaborative engineering team delivering a practical solution for deployment in a challenging operational environment.

Key Responsibilities
  • Assemble and integrate prototype hardware.
  • Configure communications and positioning equipment.
  • Integrate vehicle power and low-voltage electrical systems.
  • Assist with enclosure assembly and mechanical integration.
  • Support hardware configuration and commissioning.
  • Perform bench testing and fault finding.
  • Participate in structured system and field testing.
  • Capture technical evidence including logs, photographs and observations.
  • Produce clear technical documentation and test records.
  • Work closely with the Solution Architect to resolve technical challenges.
Skills & Experience
We're looking for someone who enjoys building things, solving practical engineering problems and working across hardware and software integration.

Ideally, you'll have experience in several of the following areas:
  • Systems integration
  • Prototype development
  • Vehicle electrical systems
  • Operational Technology (OT)
  • GPS/GNSS technologies
  • Industrial communications
  • Low-voltage DC systems
  • Hardware assembly
  • Networking fundamentals
  • Technical troubleshooting
  • Commissioning
  • Testing and validation
Highly Regarded Experience
Experience in any of the following will be highly regarded:
  • Mining technology
  • Autonomous systems
  • Industrial IoT
  • LTE or satellite communications
  • Ruggedised field equipment
About You
You are someone who enjoys taking an idea from concept through to a working prototype. You have a practical, hands-on approach and are equally comfortable in a workshop, office or field environment. You enjoy solving problems, working collaboratively and delivering high-quality technical outcomes.

Why Join our Client?
This is an opportunity to work on an innovative engineering project that combines hardware integration, communications, positioning technology and real-world field testing. You'll work alongside experienced engineers and contribute to the successful delivery of a technology Proof of Concept from initial assembly through to final validation. The work is varied, technically interesting and offers the opportunity for ongoing involvement in future technology delivery projects.

Due to the confidential nature of the project, applicants may be required to execute a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prior to receiving detailed technical information.
