About the Role
RPMGlobal (RPM) is seeking a Senior Software Engineer with strong C# skills and proven experience with C++ to join our Simulation Development Team. You’ll take technical ownership of key components in commercial simulation software used extensively by Equipment Manufacturers and operators to build 3D simulations of complex operations across the mining industry. This is a permanent full-time role based in our Brisbane CBD headquarters. This position is in-office; however, it allows for ad hoc working from home.
You will be part of a dedicated team using the latest desktop and full-stack technologies to delivery world class applications to support simulating current and future scenarios including electrification and de-carbonisation strategies.
Our software helps provide the raw materials needed to manufacture the products that enable the modern world including lithium for batteries, steel, alloys, aluminium, and copper for electricity generation and transmission. Furthermore, our leading discrete event simulation software is helping the major mining organisations and equipment OEMs to electrify equipment and identify bottlenecks for increased production with minimum cost and environmental impact.
This is an opportunity for a smart, innovative, self-motivated Software Engineer to join a distributed team of like-minded people who develop world-class software using a practical, agile based modern development methodology certified to ISO 9001.
Key Responsibilities
- Maintain, modernise, and extend an existing C# and C++ 3D discrete event simulation engine.
- Improve performance, scalability, and maintainability of simulation components.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver robust, simulation-driven solutions.
- Implement modern engineering practices including CI/CD pipelines, automated builds and automated testing.
- Contribute to technical design discussions and mentor other engineers where appropriate.
About You

- Proven programming experience in C++ (modern standards: C++11 or later and the C++ Standard Library).
- Proficient with Git, CMake, and Visual Studio or equivalent toolchains.
- Demonstrated experience with WPF and/or Blazor
- Solid understanding of software architecture, data structures, and performance optimisation.
- Experience with simulation frameworks and/or real-time applications.
- Experience developing and building applications on Windows; Linux experience highly desirable.
- Strong analytical and debugging skills.
- Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.
- Experience building commercial engineering applications.
- Knowledge or strong understanding of object orientated design principles.
- Relevant tertiary qualification in Software Engineering or equivalent work experience.
- Strong command of the English language in both verbal and written form.
- Legally entitled to work in Australia.
Highly Regarded Experience
- Experience in the mining industry.
- Familiarity with cloud services (Azure preferred).
- Development of multithreaded systems.
