Systems Integration Engineer

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.

Lab Support

• 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.

Collaboration

• 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.
