Acusensus Graduate Programs & Internships

Engineering Consulting
R&D and Manufacturing

Acusensus provides technology to encourage behavioural change to reduce the prevalence of distracted driving.

Our core focus is to reduce preventable road trauma. After decades of improvements in road safety, the past few years have seen increases in the number of people killed and injured on many developed world roads. In the corresponding period, we have witnessed an expansion in the number of drivers interacting with a phone while behind the wheel. At any given time, between 1% and 5% of Australian drivers are manipulating a phone, at any point on the road network. These drivers have a dramatically raised crash risk.

Acusensus developed world-first technology to automatically detect motorists using a phone at any speed, and capture prosecutable photographic evidence of that use for the authorities. We have been awarded the contract with the NSW Government to deploy illegal phone use cameras across the State. We are in active pilot processes in several other countries and in several Australian States.

While the company is young, having been incorporated in early 2018, the team is highly experienced in the road safety space. The company was sponsored by the University of Melbourne's Accelerator Program. We have attracted seed investment and Series A investment, and are well capitalised for several years. Our ambition is to noticeably contribute to road trauma reduction, globally.

We recognise that the team makes our business, and our founder Alex Jannink and the board strongly believe in supporting, growing and rewarding the team to the maximum extent possible. It is why every permanent employee from Grad to MD are on generous short term bonuses, and long term (stock option) bonus plans, and why we are rigorous in ensuring every team member is respected and respectful. KPIs at Acusensus are all on behaviour and attitude - measured across Collaboration, Integrity, Delivery, Impact and Attitude.

We are in a significant growth phase and are constantly looking for great new entrants to join us and learn from our experienced team. The work is exciting and rewarding. In particular, roles routinely available in the grad space are software engineers in Melbourne.

Recruitment Process

We understand applying for a Graduate Program can be daunting and often time consuming. At Acusensus, we're all about making things more efficient. That's why, the application journey is a straight forward one and we're here to help you every step of the way.

Online Application: The application process is as easy as scrolling to the bottom of the screen and selecting the role 'Software Engineering Graduate Program'. You will be required to create a profile and include as much information as possible including details explaining your most recent study arrangements. We'll assess applications right away and progress candidates who meet our program criteria. You will be notified every step of the way and all applications will be considered.
Quick Phone Conversation: We value a conversation. So we feel its important that a follow-up phone conversation is held so we can learn more about you, your skills, interests, passions and anything else you'd like us to know. This is a short phone call and should only take between 5-10 minutes.
In-Person Interview: This is stage, where you get to show us your talent and for us to get you know you better. An interview is typically 45 minutes long and is held in our office in Melbourne city. You'll be asked questions that will help us understand your skills and interests better as well as your motivations behind starting a career with us.
Second Round Catch-Up: This is our second round interview. Really it's an informal catch-up with one of our senior leaders to unpack your interests, ambitions and skills a little more. We want to ensure we provide every opportunity for you to understand our business and the program requirements.
Assessment Questionnaire: Don't be afraid! This is a standard online assessment tool we ask all our new hires to complete. The assessment provides us insight into your communication preferences, how you approach challenges in the workplace and your strengths across key criteria of the role.
There are no right or wrong answers.
