Aerospace Engineer Role Overview

As an Aerospace Engineer with the Australian Defence Force, you will play a critical role in leading an engineering team to acquire, sustain, maintain, and manage technology for the Australian Defence Force (ADF). You will work on state-of-the-art aircraft, infrastructure, weapons, and related aviation ground combat support systems, operating within a defined engineering management framework.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead an engineering team to design, develop, and implement aerospace systems and technologies
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure technology is safely, efficiently, and effectively employed to generate required ADF capability
  • Develop and implement engineering solutions to complex problems, ensuring compliance with ADF regulations and procedural guidance
  • Provide technical leadership and guidance to junior engineers and technical personnel
  • Participate in project management and logistics support to ensure successful delivery of aerospace systems and technologies
Specialisations

The Aerospace Engineer role offers three specialisations: Aeronautical, Armament, and Electronic/Electrical. Each specialisation has similar roles, with varying focuses on aircraft structures, propulsion, and associated mechanical systems, weapons and systems, and airborne power generation and distribution, electronic/electrical control systems, and instrument and navigation systems.

Professional Development and Training

As an Aerospace Engineer, you will undergo a Professional Development and Training (PDT) year, rotating through different roles on a base every few months and undergoing employment training. After completing your PDT year, your first or second posting will likely be Maintenance Engineering or Engineering Management.

Opportunities for Growth

With the constant introduction of new aircraft and equipment to the Air Force, life as an Aerospace Engineer is constantly challenging and changing. The Air Force provides many internal courses, as well as the chance of post-graduate training, workshops, and seminars at external institutions to help you meet these new challenges throughout your career.
