This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of Australia's land systems programs and help shape the future of defence within the following branches:

  • Armoured Fighter Vehicle Branch
  • Land Vehicle Systems Branch
  • Land Manoeuvre Systems Branch
  • Land Engineering Agency

Responsibilities:

  1. Land C4I systems: Support manoeuvre, intelligence, reconnaissance, artillery, mobility, electronic warfare, logistics, and field services.

  3. Developing and integrating software solutions that support real-time command and control (C2) functions enabling commanders to make timely decisions based on accurate and actionable information.
  4. Ensuring software interoperability across multiple platforms, domains (land, air, sea, cyber), and coalition forces, facilitating seamless communication and data exchange within C4ISR systems.
  5. Building secure and resilient communication systems, including encryption, network management, and cyber defense features, to protect sensitive data and ensure uninterrupted connectivity in contested environments.
  6. Implementing data fusion and intelligence analysis capabilities using advanced algorithms and, increasingly, artificial intelligence (AI), to process vast sensor data into usable battlefield intelligence.
  7. Supporting mobility and tactical applications, such as software for mobile command posts, vehicular systems, and soldier-worn devices that provide on-the-move situational awareness and communications.

  9. Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including hardware engineers, system architects, cybersecurity specialists, and end-user representatives (e.g., soldiers and commanders) to ensure mission-driven software development.
  10. Maintaining and updating legacy and modernized C4I systems to keep pace with evolving threats, new technology insertion (e.g., cloud computing, AI, quantum communications), and changing military doctrines such as Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2).

Requirements:

  • A bachelor's degree (or higher) in a relevant technical field such as computer science, software engineering, systems engineering, electrical engineering, cybersecurity, or information technology
