Electronics Field Engineer (Reliability / RCA Focus)
Darwin, Northern Territory
Initially a 12-month fixed term contract
Salary – negotiable + support package
Embark on an exciting journey as an Electronics Field Engineer at a dynamic company at the forefront of cutting-edge marine robotics. In this contract role, you’ll apply your practical expertise in electronics systems engineering, testing and commissioning, while playing a key role in improving reliability through structured root cause analysis and design improvement recommendations.
About the Company
My client is an Australian engineering-led marine robotics company reinventing ocean operations with low-emissions, long-range surface systems that gather and relay real-time insights, safely, autonomously and at scale. These USVs use the energy of the weather (sun, wind, and waves) to act as persistent monitoring and communications platforms. They are embarking on an ambitious program of building and deploying multiple USVs for operations around Australia and beyond.
The Role
You’ll collaborate with a talented, multi-disciplined team to test, troubleshoot and improve sophisticated mechatronic systems, responding to operational and production requirements to drive continuous improvement. You’ll support the Darwin operations and maintenance team, ensuring the northern fleet remains on-water and fully operational.
This role is not just “fix and replace like-for-like”. The client is looking for someone who can proactively identify emerging or recurring issues, perform root cause analysis, and recommend practical design and reliability improvements. You’ll be bridging the gap between the field-based maintenance team and the head office design/engineering team.
