Hardware/Embedded Engineers And Technicians

Role: Hardware/Embedded Engineers and Technicians (L4 – L6)

ASIS develops cutting edge technical systems for use in diverse environments. The capability development and engineering teams are looking to grow their next generation of Hardware/Embedded Engineers and Technicians in their rewarding and supporting environment. As a core part of a team developing end to end solutions to a variety of problems, ASIS needs people who contribute through all phases of the operational technology life cycle; from hardware design and low-level software/firmware systems through to manufacture. Hardware/embedded Engineers and Technicians also provide specialised advice to other groups on relevant and emerging technologies. Problem solving skills and a familiarity with industry best practise tools, techniques and technologies for current and emerging hardware systems are important for the role.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects that combine the best of technology with exciting challenges. This role will provide you with exposure to a large number of technologies and tools, and great opportunity for growth. Opportunities for engagement with partners across Australia and the world, and ongoing professional development will enable currency and continuous growth in the role.

Key Responsibilities and Tasks

·        Contribute to systems level design by analysing the impacts of hardware and firmware on system design and performance

·        Prototype and demonstrate hardware and firmware designs

·        Design, implement and test embedded systems as part of a development team

·        Apply best practice engineering and manufacturing processes

·        Engage with software design practitioners to develop hardware/firmware systems

·        Engage with customers and suppliers to understand the requirements and distil these to engineering activities

·        Evaluate new tools and methodologies for improved hardware development and manufacturing

·        Evaluate and understand how relevant emerging technologies can advance our outcomes

·        Contribute to a development team as contributor to project outcomes
