Automation & Software Engineer
Job description
At Striker Australia, we build some of the toughest crushing and screening gear in the world — and we back it with the smarts to match. Right now, we’re looking for an Automation & Software Engineer who can help us take our in-house systems and machinery software to the next level.
You’ll need to be just as comfortable designing an electrical control panel as you are coding a PLC or building custom software that makes life easier for our team and our clients. It’s a cross-functional role with a real impact — ideal for someone who thrives on solving problems, connecting systems, and being hands-on with machines.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Rewriting and maintaining machine control software (Codesys) across our equipment fleet
- Designing and modifying electrical control panels and schematics
- Integrating and troubleshooting PLC, HMI, and PDM systems
- Connecting software platforms to streamline our manufacturing processes
- Working closely with the production and R&D teams to roll out improvements
- Supporting installs and upgrades across Australia and international sites
What You’ll Need:
- Degree or trade background in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or similar
- Strong experience with PLCs, HMIs, and Codesys (or similar platforms)
- Experience in panel design, wiring standards, and machine automation
- Bonus points for Python, SQL, C#, or integrating business software with machinery
- Solid understanding of industrial control systems and communications (OPC UA, Modbus, CANbus, etc.)
What We Offer:
- A growing, Australian-owned business with global reach
- Big impact: your work directly shapes the machines and systems we deliver
- Supportive team, no red tape, and freedom to take initiative, flexible work arrangements
- Real opportunity to build out smart systems from the ground up
If this sounds like your kind of role, let’s talk. Hit apply or reach out directly — we’re keen to find the right person, not just fill a seat.
