About this role

We are looking for a Senior Robotics Systems Engineer with 5+ years of experience to join our autonomous haulage team and help scale our deployments across mining and quarry operations worldwide. You'll be joining a small, high-impact systems team building and integrating autonomous truck technology that is already live in production across multiple sites. This is an opportunity to be one of the first engineers shaping how autonomy is deployed on real vehicles — not in simulation. We need someone who thrives in ambiguity, is motivated by building from the ground up, and has hands-on experience deploying robotics systems in the real world.

What will you be doing?

  • Integrate and validate autonomy capabilities on real autonomous haul trucks, taking features from prototype to reliable performance on production vehicles
  • Own system-level integration across sensors, compute, networking, and software stacks — ensuring everything is well-implemented and performing correctly during testing phases
  • Lead technical execution for new truck platform bring-ups, working with hardware teams on sensor integration, calibration, and performance tuning across multiple OEM brands (Hitachi, Komatsu, Toyota, Hyundai)
  • Build and improve diagnostics, validation criteria, and release gates for production readiness across a growing fleet deployed internationally
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with planning, controls, operations, and safety teams to deliver robust autonomy behavior in mission-critical mining environments
