    Job Description

    About the Role

    We're looking for a hands-on Systems Integration Engineer to join our agile, close-knit team - working at the intersection of electronics, firmware, and mechanics. In our R&D labs, you'll

    turn concept into reality

    : assembling and wiring prototypes, integrating subsystems, running structured tests, and capturing the details that make a build reproducible. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with electronic, firmware, and mechanical engineers to shape prototypes into robust, field-ready products.

    Key Responsibilities

    Assembly & Fabrication (Prototypes & Beta units)

  • Assemble mechanical and electrical prototypes, subassemblies, and test setups using appropriate tools and safe practices.
  • Construct simple enclosures, mounts, and fixtures as needed.
  • Maintain integration assembly work instructions and in-process quality checkpoints; support adherence to defined acceptance criteria.
  • Test and Troubleshoot

  • Set up and run tests on equipment and prototypes, following defined procedures and safety practices.
  • Use common lab instruments (e.g. multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, basic data logging) to capture results accurately.
  • Assist in diagnosing issues and support root‑cause investigations and corrective actions as required.
  • Contribute to calibration, verification, or environmental test activities when needed.
  • Documentation

  • Create and maintain assembly instructions, checklists, BoMs, and configuration records with version traceability.
  • Update documentation as build versions evolve; ensure configuration control and linkage to product versions.
  • Record test results clearly and maintain traceable test artefacts.
  • CAD Work

  • Make practical modifications to CAD models and drawings (e.g., mounts, brackets, panel layouts) in SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor.
  • Generate clear part and assembly drawings for internal use and for vendors, including basic callouts where appropriate.
  • Support readiness of integration benches / rigs and incoming acceptance for critical components.
  • Help maintain an organized, efficient, and safe R&D lab environment.
  • Track and manage inventory of parts, tools, and supplies; support kitting for builds and small‑batch work.
  • Keep benches, fixtures, and tools available and safe for repeatable testing.
  • Work closely with electronic, firmware, and mechanical engineers to clarify instructions, report test results, and suggest practical improvements.
  • Liaise with suppliers or fabricators on part details and incoming quality when required.
  • Communicate status proactively; raise risks early and propose options.
  • What You Bring

    Education

  • Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Electronic or Mechatronic Engineering. Strong mechanical / CAD exposure is important. Purely mechanical backgrounds are not a fit.
  • Experience

  • 3+ years in R&D, product development, or systems integration of electromechanical products.
  • Demonstrated hands‑on assembly, wiring, and system bring‑up experience in lab / prototype settings.
  • Skills

  • Proficient with lab equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies) and structured test procedures.
  • Competent in CAD (SolidWorks or Inventor) for basic edits and producing clean, dimensioned drawings.
  • Practical understanding of build‑for‑quality principles (DFM / DFA basics), connectors and crimping standards, cable management, grounding / shielding, and enclosure integration.
  • Strong
  • documentation

    habits : version control, traceability, clear instructions, accurate BoMs and test records.

  • Excellent organization,
  • attention to detail

    , and reliable delivery to schedule.

  • Nice to Have
  • Experience with rapid prototyping (3D printing, laser cutting), exposure to environmental testing (temperature, vibration, ingress), sensors / analogue front‑ends, or embedded interface bring‑up.
  • Why Blue Cube?

  • Shape the future of sustainable mining with real‑world impact.
