Systems Engineer

Who We Are & Why You'll Love Working with Us

Acusensus is an Australian technology company using AI-driven imaging to enhance road safety and reduce distracted driving accidents globally. We are a purpose-driven team valuing impact, collaboration, integrity, care, and delivery, committed to saving lives and making communities safer.

At Acusensus, we're driven by a powerful mission, to make a genuine difference in road safety through cutting-edge detection and enforcement technology.

The Opportunity:

This is a hands on technical role for someone who genuinely enjoys building things, solving problems, and learning as they go. As a Systems Engineer, you'll be at the heart of designing, building, and commissioning the computerised camera enforcement systems that are deployed on roads across Australia and internationally.

You don't need to have all the answers before you start - what matters most is your curiosity, your ability to think through a problem, and your drive to find a clean, practical solution. Whether that solution is simple or sophisticated, we care more that it works reliably than that it looks impressive on paper.

You'll work closely with Project Engineers, Service Technicians, and the broader Delivery team, supporting them in whatever way the work demands. Technical writing and documentation are a key part of this role - your ability to capture what you've built or tested clearly and accurately will directly enable the team around you.

Who You Are

We're not hiring for a checklist of technologies - we're hiring for the right kind of person. Here's what success looks like in this role:

• You're hands on and curious - you've built computers, tinkered with systems, or worked in a lab or test environment, and you genuinely enjoy figuring out how things work.
• You find simple solutions to complex problems. You don't over engineer; you solve.
• You have strong learning agility - you pick up new technologies quickly and aren't deterred by the unfamiliar.
• You write clearly and precisely. Technical documentation and step by step procedures come naturally to you.
• You're a reliable team player - you support the people around you and take ownership of what you commit to.
• You're persistent and composed under pressure - you don't give up easily, and you manage your own reactions when things get challenging.
• You're comfortable with structured environments - you follow procedures, work to quality standards, and appreciate clear expectations.

• Prepare maintenance and repair reports following field activities.
• Respond to client requests professionally and in a timely manner.

What You'll Bring

• Demonstrated experience building, configuring, or maintaining computer hardware and systems.Understanding of networking fundamentals (switches, VLANs, routers, firewalls, VPNs).
• Strong written communication skills, including the ability to produce technical documentation.
• Full driver licence; willingness to travel nationally on occasion.

Desirable

• Background in mechatronics, instrumentation, or embedded systems.
• Experience with UNIX/Linux operating systems or command line environments.
• Experience working in a test, lab, or R&D environment.
• Familiarity with networking equipment and infrastructure.

Your Working Environment

This is a full time, hybrid role with the flexibility to work remotely as your skills and familiarity with the technology grow. Ideally, you will be on site a minimum of 7 days per fortnight.
