About You

  • Degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Physics or related field).
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
  • Experience in project management or project engineering (formal PM certification highly regarded but not essential).
  • Ability to manage competing priorities across multiple technical projects.
  • Eligibility for (or possession of) an Australian Defence Security Clearance.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary $100k – $120k (pro rata, commensurate with experience).
  • Flexible work arrangements, including work-from-home options.
  • A collaborative culture that values bold ideas, integrity, and striving for excellence.
  • Regular team events, Friday drinks, and an engaging work environment.
  • The chance to contribute to globally significant technology with real impact.
