Job description

Decoda, as part of Sime Industrial, works with mining companies to transform the way they

use digital technologies. Our business helps our customers get more productivity from their

mining equipment, using technology and data generated from connected machines. Decoda

has an aspiration to build solutions for productivity improvement across the whole mining

life cycle - from mine planning, production and through to mine rehabilitation.

If the prospect of creating world-class integrated solutions to these challenges is appealing,

we at Decoda welcome your application.

About the role

The successful applicant will join a small team of engineers building an integrated sensor

platform that utilises LiDAR, camera, GNSS, and IMU sensors to support autonomous and

semi-autonomous decision-making for mine processes and provide reliable and actionable

insights to clients. The team is focused on enhancing machine reliability and productivity

through real-time monitoring and communication of site conditions and hazards.

The platform demands robust design at both the hardware and software level, secure communication

between a range of devices on local and wide-area networks, and reliable and

efficient interpretation of sensor data.

What you’ll do

• Drive continual, user-driven improvement and expansion of the platform’s infrastructure,
• design and feature set under the Iterative-V governance model.
• Use engineering tools, resources, and processes effectively to develop, document, and
• validate solutions to project requirements.
• Collaborate closely with the engineering team, technical leads, product managers and
• external stakeholders to understand and realise Decoda’s immediate and long-term
• business goals.
• Manage your own task prioritisation and completion through effective time management
• and efficient research practices.

What you’ll bring

• A degree in engineering (software/mechatronics/electrical) or computer science.
• Eligibility to work in Australia.
• Demonstrated industry experience developing, deploying and maintaining software in
• Strong programming and scripting skills (C++, Python, Bash).
• Experience with ROS 2.
• Strong Linux skills across development, deployment, monitoring and maintenance.
• Solid understanding of algorithms and optimisation.
• Ability to understand sensor and computer hardware well enough to specify, integrate
• and interface with it (no hardware design required).

Highly valued

• Experience in the mining industry.
• Experience with point cloud and/or image processing.
• Experience with LiDAR, camera, GNSS or IMU sensor systems.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.
• Experience with Linux system provisioning and image building (e.g. mkosi).
• Experience with embedded systems, networking, back-end development.
• Experience with observability and monitoring tooling.
• Experience with AI-assisted development workflows.
• Great attention to detail with strong problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work autonomously and as a member of a multi-disciplinary engineering team.
• Work on real-world industry problems from proof-of-concept through to deployment.
• Be involved in the commercialisation and stakeholder engagement processes inherent
• in bringing a product to market.
• Flexible working arrangements, predominantly during the standard business hours of
• Queensland, Australia, with regular communication across the team via Teams.

All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence.
