Job description

Are you a Product Senior Systems Engineer looking for something genuinely interesting to work on? Join a global leader in mining equipment and operational technology and help shape the future of autonomous underground mining. If you enjoy solving real-world problems and want a role with long-term career potential, this one’s worth a look.

What you’ll be working on

You’ll join a small, talented, and supportive team that’s evolving a subsystem used to track underground mining assets in real time. This tech helps operators see what’s happening underground, supports autonomous equipment, and flags potential hazards early — thanks to a high-precision peer-to-peer proximity detection system backed by advanced comms and tracking.

In short: the work you do helps keep people safe and operations running smoothly.

A bit about the role

You’ll:

• Work closely with a small team (within a larger delivery group) to deliver subsystems and components that solve real user needs
• Gather and define subsystem, component, and interface requirements from a range of stakeholders
• Maintain traceability and run gap analyses to support risk-based decision-making
• Develop and present solution concepts and design documentation alongside hardware and software teams
• Help shape and improve internal product systems engineering processes and standards
• Support program management with documentation for reviews and approvals

What you’ll bring

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Computer Science (Master’s in Systems Engineering is a bonus)
• Has 5+ years’ experience as a Product Systems Engineer using recognised methodologies (e.g., ISO 15288)
• Communicates clearly and enjoys tackling complex technical problems
• Is collaborative, organised, and confident working with different teams
• Has experience planning and delivering product systems engineering at project level
• Is comfortable with documentation and revision control tools (e.g., git, wikis)
• Has experience with MBSE tools — ideally Magic Cyber Systems Engineer / Magic System of Systems Engineer
• Knows how to build relationships and remove roadblocks to keep things moving
