Description:
The Systems Engineer role is a full-time, permanent position within the Operations team. It focuses on designing, integrating, and commissioning complex enforcement systems, ensuring all subsystems such as cameras, radar/LIDAR, flash units, and industrial PCs operate cohesively. The role requires strong technical expertise in electrical, electronic, and communication systems, along with civil infrastructure planning and legally defensible documentation.Key Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end system design for enforcement solutions.
- Manage requirements gathering and traceability.
- Oversee factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), and commissioning.
- Assist maintenance teams with complex electrical/electronic fault diagnosis.
- Perform load calculations (power budget, voltage drop, earthing, surge protection).
- Design power solutions (mains connection, UPS sizing, cable selection).
- Specify and test data acquisition/transmission solutions.
- Produce electrical drawings (schematics, wiring diagrams, cable schedules).
- Carry out electronic design and validation, including outsourcing small circuit boards.
- Conduct site surveys for optimal asset placement.
- Specify civil works requirements (trenching, conduit layouts, footing specs).
- Collaborate with civil contractors for safe roadside installations.
- Develop scope of work documents for outsourced manufacture and installation.
- Produce solution documentation (SOPs, user manuals, maintenance manuals).
Requirements:
Required Skills and Attributes
- Knowledge of AS3000 and other relevant Australian Standards
- Understanding of networking (TCP/IP, 4G/5G routers, fibre termination) in roadside or ITS environments
- Analytical and methodical approach to diagnosing complex system faults across electrical, electronic, and mechanical components
- Ability to multitask and switch between projects while maintaining high attention to detail
- Precision in documentation to ensure legal defensibility
- Familiarity with local road authority standards (e.g., TfNSW, VicRoads, TMR) is advantageous
Training and Experience
- Bachelor's degree in Electronic, Electrical, Mechatronic, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- Minimum 5 years of experience in systems support, field engineering, or maintenance of high-reliability electronic or industrial systems
- Strong knowledge of low-voltage DC power systems, power conditioning, and UPS
- Proficiency in reading and troubleshooting electrical schematics and wiring diagrams
- Experience with embedded systems, sensor technology (LiDAR, radar), and data communication protocols
- Understanding of civil drawings and structural loads is advantageous
Successful Applicant Profile
A successful applicant will be a technically strong engineer with hands-on experience in system integration and troubleshooting across electrical, electronic, and communication domains. They will demonstrate precision, adaptability, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects and produce legally defensible documentation. Industry experience in ITS or enforcement systems and knowledge of Australian Standards will set them apart.
Conditions:
- Opportunity to lead end-to-end system design and integration for advanced enforcement solutions
- Exposure to diverse technical areas including electrical design, communications, civil infrastructure, and embedded systems
- Career growth potential within operations and systems engineering
- Work on high-impact projects that require precision and innovation
