C++ Software Engineer

Software Engineer | Sydney | C++, Sensors, Algorithms

A leading deep-tech organisation is developing a new class of high-performance systems designed for use in challenging environments. The team blends scientific research, modern software engineering, and low-level systems development to turn breakthrough concepts into reliable, deployable technology operating in the real world.

You’ll join a multidisciplinary group that builds software for cutting-edge hardware platforms, working closely with researchers who develop complex algorithms and exploratory models.

Software Engineer Responsibilities

• Own the development, integration, and support of core applications that run on the organisation’s embedded and Linux-based platforms.
• Design, implement, and thoroughly test performance-critical software used to support next-generation research-driven capabilities.
• Build tooling for data capture, processing, inspection, and system analysis used during development and field deployments.
• Integrate on-device software with cloud-based services for configuration, orchestration, analytics, and system lifecycle management.
• Translate research prototypes and algorithms into efficient, production-ready implementations suited for constrained or mobile environments.
• Collaborate closely with scientists, engineers, and product teams to solve novel technical challenges in both research and applied engineering contexts.
• Participate in field evaluations with key industry partners, supporting real-world testing, diagnostics, and performance validation.
• Maintain and improve CI pipelines, automated testing infrastructure, and release processes as the platform matures.

Software Engineer Requirements

• Experience working in R&D-heavy environments or supporting teams that bridge scientific exploration with production engineering.
• Strong capability in numerical or algorithmic software development, e.g., optimisation, estimation, modelling, simulation, or related areas.
• Proficiency with a systems programming language such as C, C++ or Rust for developing low-level or performance-sensitive software.
• Familiarity with Python for prototyping, data workflows, and tooling.
• Experience building or maintaining continuous integration systems and automated testing pipelines.
• Demonstrated ability to influence engineering best practices and contribute to high-quality software processes.
