The role

We're looking for a junior mechatronics technician who loves making things. If you've spent your weekends building drones, RC cars, robots or motorbikes, we want to hear from you.

This is a hands-on, all-rounder role. You'll take on the building, printing, wiring and fixing that keeps our projects moving, so our engineers can focus on design and development. You'll learn fast, work across every part of our robots, and see your work go out into the field.

No formal experience? That's fine. We care far more about what you've built than where you've worked.

What you'll do

• Design simple parts, brackets and enclosures in CAD, then 3D print and refine them

• Run and maintain our 3D printers and keep the workshop organised

• Build and repair wiring looms, cables and small electronic assemblies, including soldering

• Assemble, modify and test robotic prototypes alongside the engineering team

• Use hand and power tools for fabrication, fitting and general workshop jobs

• Diagnose and fix mechanical and electrical faults

• Help prepare equipment for field testing and support trials on site

• Run errands such as picking up parts and materials, and transporting equipment

• Take on whatever practical tasks help the team move faster

What we’re looking for

Above all, a genuine passion for making things. You’re a doer: you’d rather build it and see what happens than talk about it.

• A track record of building things through hobby, freelance or personal projects, such as drones, RC vehicles, robots, cars or motorbikes

• Experience with 3D design in any CAD package (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Onshape, FreeCAD, whatever you use)

• Hands‑on 3D printing experience, including setup, slicing and troubleshooting

• Basic electronics knowledge and confident soldering skills

• Comfortable with hand and power tools, and safe workshop practices

• A current Australian driver’s licence

• Willingness to learn, take direction and pitch in on any task

Nice to have

• Study in mechatronics, electrical, mechanical or a related trade or degree (current students welcome)

• Experience with microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32 or Raspberry Pi

• Familiarity with batteries, motors, ESCs and flight controllers

• Basic metalwork or machining skills
