Redefining UAS, defining the possibility. Embarking on a landmark project that showcases sovereign excellence in design and manufacturing, we want you to join them on this journey.

Your new role

We invite you to bring your ideas, take calculated risks, drive innovation, solve problems, seek and provide feedback, and be hands-on. Together, we will redefine what is possible. Working with this established client, you have a unique opportunity to directly contribute to this top-secret innovative defence company's capability, coming in at the start, to see through this landmark project to completion. You will be with the foundation team, where every day will not be the same, and you will get to work on being part of something truly ground-breaking.

Duties will include but are not limited to:
  • Assisting with digital design and version control
  • Checking build against design
  • Load simulations
  • Assisting with practical tests of materials and assemblies

Demonstrated experience within a defence project environment and expertise in uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS), aircraft, robotics, mechatronics, and/or drones are essential. Candidates must be Australian citizens due to the nature of the project.

Qualifications in:
  • A degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical, Avionics, Electrical, or an equivalent field.
  • Experience with CAD

You will be required to work in the office 5 days a week due to the nature of the project. The organisation operates under a strict non-disclosure agreement, ensuring full confidentiality. We welcome applications from candidates from all backgrounds and experience.
