At Acusensus, we're on a mission to protect road workers and improve safety outcomes through intelligent, real-time technology. As a rapidly growing Australian tech company with global impact, we’re looking for a passionate and capable Test Engineer to join our Road Worker Safety (RWS) R&D team.

Whether you’re just starting out or have a few years under your belt, this role offers a rare opportunity to work on a greenfield project—helping to test and validate a next-gen safety platform from the ground up. You’ll play a hands-on role in advancing life-saving technology that’s already reshaping how road safety is managed across the world.

Who Are We

Founded in 2018, Acusensus is an ASX-listed Australian success story with offices in Australia, New Zealand, the US, and UK. We've built world-leading solutions to reduce road trauma caused by distracted driving and unsafe behaviours. Our mission is to save lives, and our values—Impact, Collaboration, Integrity, and Care—guide how we work and grow.

About The Role:

We’re looking for a hands-on, versatile problem-solver—a Test Engineer who is responsible for the testing ,verification and validation of our new Road Worker Safety (RWS) products and system. Your strength lies in solving critical problems by developing and executing comprehensive test plans to ensure our technology is of the highest quality before it goes out into the field.

This hybrid role is based in the Melbourne CBD reporting to the Operations and Engineering Lead. You'll take ownership of the testing lifecycle, working closely with our engineering team to refine strategies and support the production and deployment of our large-scale solutions. If you thrive on taking a product from development to deployment and seeing its real-world impact, this role is for you.

This isn’t just another engineering job—it’s a greenfield opportunity to help shape the quality and technology of a globally impactful platform that’s redefining road safety.

What You’Ll Do:

• Develop and execute comprehensive test plans and cases for new and existing RWS hardware and software products.
• Design and maintain test automation frameworks and scripts to ensure efficient and repeatable testing.
• Set up and troubleshoot hardware in the field and build testing jigs for product validation.
• Log, track, and manage software and hardware bugs throughout their lifecycle, collaborating with development teams to ensure high-quality releases.

What You Bring:

• 5+ years’ experience in a test engineering role, with a degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Sound knowledge in test automation setup and maintenance
• A demonstrated ability to write effective test scripts using Python and other scripting frameworks.
• Experience with programming in C and C++ and other programming languages.
• Experienced with Linux and Unix operating systems
• A proactive problem solving mindset—someone who improves systems rather than works around flaws.
• Strong communication skills and willingness to share ideas, ask questions, and give/receive feedback.
• Excellent documentation skills
• Enthusiasm for solving real-world problems with practical tech.
• Willingness to roll up your sleeves and get hands-on with hardware as needed.
• Hold full working rights in Australia.

Bonus Points for experience in any of the following will make your application stand out:

• Building testing jigs and comfortable working with electronic hardware and PCBs
• Experience with Linux and Unix operating systems
• Familiar with working in a production environment

Why Join Us?

• You’ll be part of a mission-driven, values-led culture where your technical skills and ideas will directly shape a next-generation safety platform.
• Join a tight-knit, supportive team where ideas are shared, and learning is constant.
• Make your mark on a brand-new product with global scale potential.
• Enjoy a flexible, hybrid work environment.
