Job description

Production Assembler

Who are we?

Emesent is a world leader in drone autonomy, LiDAR mapping, and spatial data analytics. Founded in 2018 with deep roots in Australia’s globally recognised CSIRO, we’ve built a reputation for delivering high‑quality spatial data capture across mining, infrastructure, survey, and construction industries.

Our flagship product, Hovermap, is an autonomous mobile scanning platform that combines advanced collision avoidance and autonomous flight with LiDAR mapping to capture data in hazardous, GPS‑denied, and hard‑to‑reach environments. Mountable on drones, vehicles, or carried as a backpack, Hovermap has set the standard for mobile mapping in underground mining and confined spaces.

Our newest product, GX1, extends Emesent’s mapping technology into the AEC and survey markets. GX1 is a ground‑based LiDAR scanner purpose‑built for above‑ground environments, delivering fast and accurate spatial capture for surveying and reality capture professionals.
