SunDrive’s proprietary technology enables the use of copper instead of silver for solar cell electrodes.
Key Responsibilities
Support the design, development, testing, and commissioning of software and mechatronic systems
Demonstrate strong ownership, taking initiative and going the extra mile to achieve team and company goals
Work closely with cross-functional teams
Subsystem ownership: e.g. take ownership of assigned modules or subsystems, from design, build and integration through to validation, troubleshooting and handover
Technical scope: e.g. sensors, actuators, motion systems, control hardware, software, firmware, electrical interfaces and automation logic etc
Documentation: e.g. test procedures, commissioning records, risk assessments, control notes, troubleshooting guides etc.
Validation: e.g. validation testing, data collection and root-cause analysis to improve reliability, safety and performance
Hands-on support: e.g. hands-on support during internal builds, demonstration line integration, customer-site deployment
Integrate safety in design principles throughout equipment and software development while supporting compliance with company policies, WHS standards, risk mitigation, and continuous improvement efforts
Some international travel will be required for the role
