Aerospace Engineer Lead Role

Aerospace Engineers lead teams to develop and deliver Australian Defence Force capability by applying engineering principles to acquire, sustain, maintain, and manage technology. They work on state aircraft, infrastructure, weapons, ancillary technical equipment, and related aviation ground combat support systems.

As an Aerospace Engineer in the Air Force, you will be responsible for regulation, design, project management, logistics support, and technical maintenance to ensure technology is safely, efficiently, and effectively employed to generate required ADF capability. Additionally, as an Officer, you will be responsible for the leadership, management, and welfare of technical and logistics personnel within the engineering environment.

You will be posted and rotated around new roles approximately every 3 years to gain depth and breadth of experience required to develop you as a competent engineering leader with increasing levels of responsibility.

There are three Aerospace Engineer specialisations: Aeronautical, Armament, and Electronic/Electrical. Each specialisation has similar roles and responsibilities.

  • Aeronautical (AERO) - responsible for aircraft structures, propulsion, and associated mechanical systems and ground support equipment
  • Armament (ARMO) - responsible for weapons, weapons systems, and associated test equipment and bomb disposal
  • Electronic/Electrical (ELECTR) - responsible for airborne power generation and distribution, electronic/electrical control systems, instrument and navigation systems, automatic test equipment, communications, and RADAR and SONAR equipment
