- Standout university project experience in a competitive, company-like team (solar car, autonomous systems, robotics competition teams and similar)
- A mechatronics background, or any background where you've owned a system across hardware, firmware, and software
- A Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) and/or ReOC experience — if you don't have a RePL, we'll help you get one
- Experience with RF, mesh radios, telemetry links, or military communications
- A defence or military background – especially hands-on work with experimental hardware, UAS, or drones
- Field, deployment, or expedition experience in demanding environments
- Experience improving or extending simulation environments, and prior startup or scale-up experience
WHY JOIN US?
You'll be an owner, not a renter. We're at the stage where foundational decisions are still being made and entire systems need to be built from scratch. Your work won't be maintaining someone else's legacy - you'll be creating what comes next. The problems you solve and the systems you build will define how Breaker scales.
You'll work with people who've done this before. Our team has shipped production robotics systems, scaled infrastructure, and solved the kind of hard integration problems that only come up when software meets the physical world. You won't be the only person in the room who's debugged a flaky radio link, provisioned a fleet of drones, or rescued a field test when the hardware fought back.
You'll solve problems that don't exist anywhere else. Most companies are building incremental improvements on established technology. We're defining new categories - which means the work is harder, more ambiguous, and infinitely more interesting.
You'll work hard, together. We're in the office every day, grinding on hard problems alongside great people. We've built a workspace where the best work happens — access to hardware, quick decisions, real collaboration. We're flexible when life requires it, but we're looking for people who want to show up, get stuck in, and build something significant with a team they respect.
We're going global. Backed by globally recognised investors, we're growing teams across Sydney, Australia and Austin, Texas. This role sits on the path toward forward-deployed work across regions - if you want that exposure, it exists here.
You'll own what you build. Generous equity packages mean when Breaker wins, you win.
Location. Cicada Innovations, Eveleigh, Sydney, Australia (National Innovation Centre). Regular domestic travel for field testing, with occasional international travel for demos and deployments.
If you're excited about the opportunity to work at the bleeding edge of physical AI, we'd love to hear from you.
