Our Department: Civil Construction Field Systems
Does the idea of helping transform the construction industry using cutting-edge technologies excite you?
What You Will Do
As a Software Engineer in our Field Systems group, you'll develop positioning and control products for earthmoving and paving machines in the construction and mining industries, using technologies such as GPS, optical total stations, lasers, IMUs, and sonics. The products are used in a range of applications where the operator of the machine benefits from having accurate horizontal and vertical guidance.
As a Software Engineer, you are responsible for working within your delivery team to develop software that meets product and customer requirements within a fast-paced, collaborative, dynamic environment.
On a daily basis, this will look like:
Develop and maintain machine control applications by writing high-quality code in C++ or in Android (Java and Kotlin)
Work independently, and receive guidance in only the most complex situations
Provide technical leadership to teams or projects as needed
Utilise your specialised depth and/or breadth of expertise in your job family
Interpret internal/external business challenges and recommend best practices to improve products, processes, or services
Lead others to solve complex problems; work on complex issues where analysis of situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of variable factors; resolve complex issues using sophisticated analytical thought to exercise judgment and identify innovative solutions
Impact the achievement of customer, operational, project, or service objectives
Communicate difficult concepts and negotiate with others to adopt a different point of view; networks with key contacts outside your area of expertise.
What you'll bring?
Along with being a team player, with strong work prioritisation skills and a collaborative communication and working style, you will also need:
Relevant tertiary qualification in computer science, engineering, mechatronics, or equivalent
Demonstrable experience developing Android applications (Java, Kotlin), or applications written in C++ within a Windows or Linux environment
Experience collaborating with application domain experts and other software developers across multiple international sites to deliver identified customer value
A set of fundamental software engineering skills that result in predictability in engineering, scheduling, and the quality of products developed
Experience debugging software and investigating customer reports to solve product issues
Nice to haves:
Experience in developing applications for mobile platforms preferred
Experience with Android application development an advantage
