Do Work That Matters
Leidos Australia delivers IT and airborne solutions that protect and advance the Australian way of life. Our 2000 local experts, backed by our global experience and network of partners, are working to solve the world's toughest challenges in government, intelligence, defence, aviation, border protection and health markets.

Your New Role And Responsibilities
The Air Component Command and Control Capability System (AC-C2CS) is a mission-critical suite of software applications that enables the Australian Defence Force (ADF) to effectively plan, prepare, execute, manage, and report on aviation operations.

The Test Engineer will support our customers technology, where an overview of responsibilities includes:

  • Develop and execute comprehensive test plans and strategies to validate system functionality, performance, and security for mission-critical Defence applications.
  • Design, implement, and maintain automated and manual test cases across unit, integration, system, and user acceptance testing phases.
  • Collaborate with developers, system engineers, and Defence stakeholders to identify defects, troubleshoot issues, and ensure compliance with Defence standards and security requirements.
  • Conduct performance, stress, and interoperability testing to ensure system reliability under operational conditions.
  • Document test results, defects, and risk assessments, providing clear reporting and recommendations to support continuous improvement and certification processes.

What You'll Bring To Make An Impact

  • Proven experience in software testing (manual and automated) within complex, mission-critical or Defence-related systems.
  • Strong knowledge of testing methodologies and tools, such as Selenium, JUnit, Robot Framework, or similar.
  • Experience with performance, security, and interoperability testing in high-availability environments.
  • Understanding of Defence or aviation standards and security requirements, including compliance with classified environments.

Don't worry if you don't tick all the boxes – if you meet most of them, we encourage you to submit your application. We're most interested in your strengths, what you want to learn and how far you want to go.

At Leidos, we don't want someone who "fits the mold"—we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, "what's next?" before the dust settles on "what's now."
