  • Up to $200k base + Bonus + stock + super – a highly competitive package for top engineering talent
  • Build real-world tech with global impact – work on next-gen navigation systems used in submarines, autonomous vehicles, aerospace, and defence
  • Collaborate with the Australian Space Agency – contribute to cutting-edge space tech projects including rocket guidance and autonomous landings
  • Write modern C++ and Python powering mission-critical systems that work where GPS can’t
  • Work-life balance, for real – enjoy a culture that prioritises deep technical focus and flexibility, including regular WFH options

Senior Algorithms Engineer

This is a rare opportunity to shape the algorithmic core of a next-generation navigation platform trusted across aerospace, defence, and autonomous systems. Built from first principles, this technology is redefining what’s possible when navigating in GPS-denied environments—deep underground, far offshore, and even beyond Earth’s atmosphere.

As a Senior Algorithm Engineer, you’ll take ownership of the design and implementation of state estimation algorithms—think Kalman filters, sensor fusion, and probabilistic modelling—powering the high-accuracy navigation used in critical real-world missions. From first-line MATLAB simulations to embedded deployment, you’ll work alongside a multi-disciplinary team of optical, hardware, and embedded engineers to bring cutting-edge theory into production.

If you're excited by the challenge of solving deep technical problems with global impact—and want to design algorithms that live at the intersection of physics, maths, and systems engineering—this is your opportunity to help build something foundational.

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong understanding of Kalman-based state estimation (EKF, UKF), Bayesian inference, or SLAM
  • High-level proficiency in MATLAB for algorithm modelling and simulation
  • Strong understanding of linear algebra, statistics, and signal processing fundamentals
  • Proven experience building real-world systems—not just academic projects
  • Background in robotics, aerospace, navigation, or similar is ideal
  • A first-class honours degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or similar

We don’t expect you to tick every single box — we’re looking for engineering leaders who bring strong fundamentals, an openness to learn, and the ability to lead by example.

If you're ready to shape something globally impactful while leading from the front, we’d love to support you in exploring this opportunity.
