At 3:07 AM, a drone breaches restricted airspace. There’s no radar ping. No radio chatter. No warning. Just a low hum that vanishes into the night—until it’s too late.

Now imagine building the tech that detects it anyway.

Across battlefields, airports, critical infrastructure and conflict zones, asymmetric threats are becoming smarter, smaller, and harder to spot. What used to be science fiction is now a daily reality.
And somewhere in Sydney, a small team of engineers is quietly building the system that stops them.

The Mission

You’ll be part of the crew building the algorithmic brain behind a cutting-edge sensor fusion platform—a system that takes input from radar, RF, acoustic and optical sensors and makes real-time decisions in chaotic environments.

Your job? Design algorithms that don’t blink. That find signal in the noise. That can track, associate, and fuse sensor inputs on low-SWaP hardware in dynamic, hostile environments.

This isn’t post-processing in a lab. It’s real-world decision-making, deployed on systems that are out there right now.

The Challenge You’ll Own

Build performant sensor fusion and tracking algorithms that run on the edge

Optimise models using profiling, CUDA, multi-threading and whatever it takes

Handle uncertainty, association, clutter, and time desync—then make sense of it

Prototype fast, deploy cleanly, and automate everything you can

Be the technical benchmark for signal processing, algorithmic rigour, and edge deployment practices

The Kind of Engineer Who Thrives Here

You probably started as a pure algorithm dev—or signal processing nut—but found your way into defence, robotics, or embedded AI because you wanted to see your models make decisions. You like the noise. The edge. The pressure to get it right when there’s no second chance.

You bring:

• Deep knowledge of C++ (Python or Golang on the side is fine)
• Hands-on experience with real-time sensor fusion, probabilistic models, and tracking filters (JPDAF, MHT, Kalman stuff)
• Confidence running algorithms on constrained devices: GPU acceleration, TensorRT, Docker, Linux
• Curiosity, ownership, and a distaste for abstract research with no deployment

Bonus if you’ve worked in RF-heavy environments, deployed field-tested models, or helped scale early-stage AI/ML platforms.

Why It Matters

The team you’ll join is part of a fast-growing scale-up that started with two engineers and a crazy ambition: to build the world’s leading counter-drone tech without relying on traditional radar or jamming.

Today, that ambition is real—used in over 70 countries, across defence, government, and critical infrastructure sectors. The algorithmic foundation you lay will be directly responsible for protecting lives and sovereignty in the face of emerging threats.

If you’re tired of roles where your work never leaves the simulation—and ready to build tech that quietly outsmarts the threat before it’s even noticed—you know where to find us.

What if your RL research didn’t just end in a paper, but helped autonomous aircraft make split-second decisions in places where GPS fails, comms go dark, and backup isn’t coming?

That’s the mission on the table, and it needs someone who’s ready to push reinforcement learning into the real world.

A deep tech startup is building autonomous VTOL systems for contested environments. And they’re hiring someone with serious research skills - someone who knows RL and wants to apply it where it actually matters.

Not to optimise ads. Not to fine-tune chatbot responses. But to guide high-stakes autonomous systems through uncertainty and dynamic environments.

The Role

You’ll be working on long-horizon tactical decision-making using RL and related methods - from reward design and policy training, to sim tuning and field testing.

You’ll collaborate with researchers and engineers on multi-agent problems, environment modelling, and real-world autonomy challenges - and yes, if publishing is important to you, you’ll be supported to keep doing it.

This isn’t a siloed postdoc. It’s a full-time, permanent role inside a company that values both deep thinking and functional systems.

Who This Might Suit

Maybe you’re just wrapping up a PhD in machine learning, robotics, or AI.

Maybe you’ve already done a postdoc but want to escape the 2-year treadmill.

Or maybe you’re an engineer with serious RL chops and no interest in the academic track — just the desire to build something that flies.

Either way, you should:

• Be confident reading RL papers and turning them into working code

• Understand how to shape reward functions and work with MDPs/POMDPs

• Care about how your work performs outside of simulation

• Be eligible to work in Australia (Citizenship or PR is a must)

• Be willing to work onsite (Melbourne or Adelaide)

Why It’s Different

• Full-time, permanent role — not a short-term contract

• Real systems, not just simulation or theory

• Room to grow — either into R&D leadership or deep technical IC

• High-agency, low-politics environment

• A team that values capability over credentialism

Curious?

You don’t need to submit a polished CV to get started. Just reach out to Thaís on thais@theonset.com.au and we'll take it from there. 

15 years ago, if you wanted to build advanced aircraft in Australia, your best bet was booking a one-way ticket overseas or settle for paper engineering. 

Science then, Australia’s aerospace scene has evolved. We’ve moved from maintaining aircraft to designing and building them. From licensing offshore IP to owning the innovations ourselves.

Today, sovereign capability is no longer a pipe dream - it's a national strategy.

And engineers? You’re finally at the center of it.

We’re now entering an era where mechanical systems engineering is a mission-critical craft - designing the muscle, motion, and mechanics that enable high-agility flight and autonomous operations.

This role is for someone who:

• Has a strong grasp of first-principles design and mechanical systems thinking

• Wants to see their designs built - not sit in CAD purgatory

• Thrives in fast-moving, test-driven, zero-fluff engineering teams

• Is excited by prototyping, validation, and iteration - on the clock, not in theory

You’ll get to:

• Own mechanical subsystems across the design–build–test cycle

• Collaborate with avionics, flight software, and structures engineers

• Lead design validation using FEA and test rigs

• Help take a platform from concept to flight

• Work with ex-defence, ex-startup, and aerospace veterans building sovereign IP

If you've spent your time designing FSAE cars or leading student teams to actually ship things, you'll feel right at home.

You’ll need:

• A Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering degree

• 2–5 years experience designing real-world hardware (UAVs, vehicles, aircraft)

• Fluency in CAD (SolidWorks, Creo, etc.) and FEA tools

• Australian citizenship (NV1 clearance or eligibility preferred)

What’s in it for you?

Permanent role, competitive salary + ESOP, and a front-row seat to one of Australia’s most exciting aerospace programs. No overseas move required, just interstate.
