Test and Evaluation Engineer

Clicks is partnering with a global technology leader that develops and delivers advanced mining technology solutions used in some of the world's most challenging operational environments.

We're seeking a hands-on Test & Evaluation Engineer who enjoys getting out from behind the desk and into the field. This is a unique opportunity to work across software, hardware, communications systems and autonomous mining technology, validating solutions that are deployed on heavy equipment operating in remote mining environments.

This role is primarily Perth-based, with regular travel to site (typically at least once per month) to conduct testing, evaluation and validation activities on live equipment and technology platforms.

The Opportunity

Working as part of a global engineering and testing team, you'll play a key role in ensuring new software releases, hardware integrations and autonomous technology solutions perform safely and effectively in real-world conditions.

You'll be involved in everything from test planning and deployment through to fault investigation, system validation and issue resolution.

If you enjoy troubleshooting complex technical challenges and seeing technology operate in the field, this role offers a rare blend of engineering, software validation and operational exposure.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute test plans for software releases, system upgrades and new product features
• Install, integrate and validate hardware and software solutions on heavy mobile equipment
• Conduct on-machine testing of autonomous and semi-autonomous systems
• Perform field testing and evaluation activities at remote mine sites
• Identify, analyse and document software, hardware and systems issues
• Work with development and engineering teams to drive corrective actions and improvements
• Troubleshoot communications, networking and machine-control systems
• Collect and analyse test data to support validation activities
• Support customer demonstrations, trials and training activities
• Contribute to system requirements, feature validation and product improvement initiatives

About You

We're looking for someone who enjoys working in both office and field environments and is comfortable travelling to remote sites on a regular basis.

You'll ideally bring experience in one or more of the following:

• Software testing, validation or quality assurance
• Systems integration or commissioning
• Test engineering within mining, automation, defence, transport, robotics, heavy industry or industrial technology environments
• Hardware-in-the-loop or real-world systems testing
• Mining equipment technology, machine automation or control systems
• Wireless communications, networking or telemetry systems

Highly Regarded

• Experience working with autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles
• Exposure to mining technology or heavy mobile equipment
• Experience testing integrated software and hardware platforms
• Knowledge of functional safety, machine control or operational technology environments
• Engineering or Computer Science qualifications

What's In It For You?

• Work with cutting-edge autonomous and mining technology
• A genuine mix of office, laboratory and field-based engineering work
• Exposure to large-scale mining operations and advanced machine technology
• Opportunities to collaborate with global engineering and development teams
• Regular travel and hands-on testing in real-world operational environments
• Long-term career growth within a leading technology organisation
