Who We Are & Why You’ll Love Working with Us

Acusensus is an Australian technology company using AI-driven imaging to enhance road safety and reduce distracted driving accidents globally. We are a purpose-driven team valuing impact, collaboration, integrity, care, and delivery, committed to saving lives and making communities safer.

We are a fast-paced, innovative, and highly dynamic R&D team. We believe the best solutions are discovered through collaboration and a supportive environment where ideas are shared openly and freely, without blame.

This isn’t just a job description; it’s an invitation to be part of something bigger. Your work will directly contribute to building a safer future on roads worldwide.

The Opportunity: A Role Where You Can Make Your Mark

As a Systems Engineer at Acusensus, you will have the freedom and empowerment to improve not just the systems you work on but also the workflows and procedures we use. This is a senior-level role suited to someone who thrives working autonomously, takes full ownership of complex systems, and is trusted to make sound technical decisions with minimal oversight. This Las Vegas-based role provides a unique opportunity to create impact across national and global projects, supported by necessary travel for hands-on collaboration and implementation. You’ll be a key contributor to our journey to exceed customer expectations and be a pioneer in the US and other markets around the world.

What You’ll Do

You’ll be a vital part of our R&D team, working collaboratively with key stakeholders across the global business, while independently owning priorities, driving technical outcomes, and operating confidently in high-pressure and time-critical environments. Your day-to-day activities will involve:

• Senior System Ownership & Autonomy: Perform installations, upgrades, and lifecycle management of Acusensus software across many interfaces, acting as the technical owner and escalation point for assigned systems.
• Deep Linux Expertise: Lead work within Linux environments, ensuring system stability, performance, security, and reliability across production and test systems.
  System Monitoring: Monitor the operational health of systems before, after, and during system changes, as well as during high-profile events.
• Automation: Improving efficiency and scalability by contributing to scripted and procedural workflow improvements. This is your chance to automate and innovate!
• Expert Troubleshooting & Structured Problem Solving: Apply a disciplined, hypothesis-driven approach to diagnosing and resolving complex issues within bespoke applications, performing root cause analysis and delivering robust fixes under operational pressure.
• Client Communications: Participate in pre-sales activities and manage client communications related to the technical aspects of our products.
• Documentation & Knowledge Sharing: Creating clear and comprehensive technical documentation, including software release notes, risk assessments, and training materials.
• Collaboration & Impact: Fostering a collaborative environment and working with a wide range of teams across the US, UK and Australia to deliver on our mission of societal benefit.

What We’re Looking For

• You’re a senior, highly autonomous engineer with 5+ years’ experience in Systems Engineering or a similar role.
• You are a strong critical thinker who can lead troubleshooting efforts, remain calm under pressure, and bring structure and clarity to ambiguous technical problems, while mentoring others through best practice.
• Extensive, hands-on experience working in Linux environments is essential, including installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting complex systems.
• Strong experience supporting and troubleshooting bespoke or highly customised applications using a structured and methodical approach.
• The ability to communicate complex technical details clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A collaborative mindset with the confidence to challenge assumptions, drive technical discussions, and share expertise.

Bonus points if you have experience with any of the following:

• Version management (Git)
• Sensors (cameras, radar)
• AWS
• Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, Puppet)
• Scripting (Bash, Python)
• Image processing, machine learning, or machine vision

Candidates must possess full working rights in the US. Pre-employment checks (including driver license history and police check) will be conducted at our expense.

Your Working Environment

We understand that a great job goes beyond the work itself. This is a full-time, flexible hybrid role, meaning you have the freedom to decide what works best for you. We believe in empowering our team members to work in a way that maximises their productivity and well-being.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary package & short-term incentive.
• Supportive team in a fast-growing industry.
• Opportunities for skill expansion and process improvements.
• Access to benefits including health insurance, 401k and vacation leave.
