The opportunity
Are you an early-career engineer looking to turn your technical knowledge into innovative, real-world technology?
Join CSIRO’s Mining Photonics Team as an Optoelectronic Graduate Engineer and build your experience at the intersection of photonics, electronics, mechanical design and advanced sensing technology.
In this hands-on role, you’ll work alongside experienced researchers and engineers to help transform integrated photonic devices from laboratory concepts into robust prototype systems. You will contribute to activities spanning photonic packaging, electronics integration, mechatronic prototyping, fibre-to-chip coupling, automated testing and prototype verification, supporting the development of advanced sensing technologies for mining and geoscience applications.
You will also have the opportunity to contribute to work associated with the Queensland Advanced Photonics Packaging Facility, silicon photonics and distributed fibre-optic sensing, while developing valuable practical experience across laboratory, cleanroom and prototype development environments.
