Meet Jordan

What is your name?

Jordan McLaren

 What is your position at GroundProbe?

I am a Graduate Mechatronics Engineer working in the Product Development team in Brisbane, Australia.

 How long have you been with GroundProbe?

Since January 2023.

What does your current role at GroundProbe entail?

Working in the product development team, I use my engineering skillset to design and develop new technology with the company.

What makes your job unique?

As a Mechatronic engineer, my job involves a unique mix of mechanical, electrical, and software design. Some days, I will be at my desk designing new circuit boards or writing code, and then others, I will be in the production space testing code, soldering components onto PCB, or building cable harnesses.

What do you love most about working at GroundProbe?

Every day is different and comes with a new set of challenges and problems to solve. This allows me to actively use and grow my engineering skillset and professionalism.

I also love the supportive and flexible workplace culture. Playing volleyball and soccer at lunchtime are definitely highlights throughout the week.

Can you tell us a little about yourself?

I recently graduated from the University of Queensland with a Master of Engineering (Extended Major in Mechatronics). I began working at GroundProbe as a final year student where I completed a 6-month industry placement and thesis project.

In my spare time I love going to the beach, surfing, fishing, and freediving. During the week I like to stay active and enjoy playing social volleyball, TRL and soccer.
