Cyber Systems Engineer Leader

7 days ago


Canberra, ACT, Australia Australian Defence Force Full time

In the Australian Defence Force, you'll play a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth operation of advanced technology, networks, and cyberspace systems.

This leadership position involves managing a team of skilled technicians who service, maintain, and protect cyberspace and networking systems.

Your day-to-day work is diverse and may include:

  • Leading technicians at an operational Air Base to maintain and configure Air Force and Defence-wide communications and cyberspace systems for daily missions.
  • Collaborating with defence industry partners to modify, upgrade, and ensure the continued effectiveness of our Air Force networks.
  • Applying project management skills to acquire and introduce new Air Force aircraft and equipment that suits Australia's needs.
  • Securing and protecting Air Force cyberspace systems through policy application, incident investigation, and workforce standards management such as training and qualifications.
  • Ensuring Air Force cyberspace systems are adequately prepared to meet Air Force's needs.
  • Preparing for higher command responsibilities through training to broaden your skills.

Training and Career Progression

We'll provide you with the knowledge you need to start your career in electronics engineering. After completing Initial Military Training, most engineers will undertake a Professional Development and Training (PD&T) year during which time you will rotate and explore different roles on an Air Force base every few months. Your Initial Employment Training will also occur during this period. At the completion of this, you will be posted to a formal position and continue to rotate around new roles approximately every 2-3 years to gain the depth and breadth of experience required to develop you as a competent engineering leader with increasing levels of responsibility along the way.

As part of your role, you'll have the opportunity to gain nationally recognised qualifications and experience, such as becoming a Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) in the Leadership and Management College of Engineers Australia (EA).

You'll have a fulfilling career with plenty of potential for growth and opportunity, which could include specialising in a range of cyber-related functions such as telecommunications, satellites and space, information systems, or cyber capability acquisition.

Additional Information

This is not your typical engineering role. In the Air Force, you'll be given a breadth of experience and opportunities to work on things that you couldn't otherwise in the civilian world — including state-of-the-art defence networks, satellites, the space domain, and communications.
