Azooa is seeking an experienced Senior Network & Systems Integration Engineer for a long-term Department of Defence contracting opportunity in Canberra, ACT.

This is a senior, hands-on engineering role for someone who combines robust network engineering capability with broader systems integration experience across complex, secure ICT environments.

The formal Defence requirement is aligned to Specialist Engineering – Communications Network Engineering, Level 3 – Advanced Practitioner, with a practical focus on LAN/WAN engineering, systems integration, interoperability, configuration management, technical assurance, Test & Evaluation and senior technical support.

About the opportunity

This role is broader than a traditional Network Engineer position.

The successful contractor will work across interconnected ICT environments where networks, enterprise systems, applications, infrastructure and supporting services must operate reliably together.

You’ll be expected to understand not only how individual technologies function, but how interfaces, dependencies, configuration changes and technical decisions can affect the wider environment.

This is primarily a hands-on technical engineering role, suited to someone who can operate independently, resolve complex issues and provide confident technical advice to stakeholders.

What you’ll be doing

- Engineer and integrate complex ICT environments

- Support LAN and WAN engineering activities

- Analyse system interfaces and technical dependencies

- Assess the impact of network, application and infrastructure changes

- Support enterprise application and infrastructure integration

- Undertake integration testing, verification and validation

- Support Test & Evaluation and technical risk-reduction activities

- Troubleshoot complex network and systems-integration issues

- Identify interoperability risks and recommend technical remediation

- Maintain approved system configurations and technical baselines

- Conduct configuration management across hardware and software

- Maintain system design and architecture documentation

- Support technical integration testing before releases or configuration changes

- Provide senior / Level 3 technical support

- Support secure operating environments

- Produce engineering reports, assessments and technical recommendations

- Work with engineering, project, security and capability stakeholders

- Provide authoritative technical advice to senior stakeholders

- Support technical knowledge transfer and mentoring where required.

Network engineering focus A strong network-engineering background is central to this opportunity. Relevant capability includes LAN/WAN engineering, IP addressing, routing, DNS, DHCP, network segmentation, interoperability, network performance, secure connectivity and network security.

The successful engineer should understand how these areas interact with broader systems and how changes can affect performance, interoperability and security.

Systems integration focus

We are particularly interested in engineers who have experience operating beyond the network layer.

Relevant experience may include requirements analysis, interface management, configuration control, enterprise application integration, information-system integration, infrastructure integration, system dependencies, systems engineering,

technical architecture, verification and validation, engineering assurance and system-of-systems integration.

The strongest candidates will be comfortable looking at the whole integrated environment, not just an individual network or platform.

Test & Evaluation The role has a strong technical integration and assurance component.

Relevant experience may include integration testing, verification, validation, acceptance testing, Test & Evaluation, risk-reduction activities, technical trials, test procedures, evaluation artefacts, defect identification, technical remediation and engineering reporting.

Experience within structured Defence, Government or similarly regulated T&E; environments would be particularly valuable.

Configuration management

Configuration control is an important part of the role.

Candidates with experience managing hardware/software baselines, version control, change-impact assessment, configuration documentation, release management, pre-release testing and technical documentation control will be well aligned.

The ideal engineer will understand how a change to one component can create second-order effects across a broader integrated system.

Security & technical assurance

This role operates within a secure Defence ICT environment.

Relevant experience includes ISM, Essential Eight, security-control implementation or assessment, secure systems integration, technical assurance, configuration governance and change governance.

This is not primarily a cyber security role, but candidates should understand how security requirements influence network design, architecture, interoperability, systems integration and sustainment.

Senior technical practitioner

This position is aligned to Level 3 – Advanced Practitioner.

You should be comfortable operating under broad direction, resolving complex technical problems, assessing system-level risks and dependencies, providing authoritative engineering advice, making technically informed recommendations, engaging confidently with senior stakeholders and supporting technical decision-making.

Experience we’re looking for

Strong candidates will ideally demonstrate experience across several of these areas:

- Network Engineering: LAN/WAN, routing, DNS, DHCP, segmentation, secure connectivity and interoperability.

- Systems Integration: requirements, interfaces, dependencies, configuration control, integration testing and verification/validation.

- Secure ICT: ISM, Essential Eight and secure Government or Defence environments.

- Technical Assurance: Test & Evaluation, technical trials, engineering assessments and remediation.

- Configuration Management: hardware/software baselines, change assessment, version control and release management.

• - Defence / Government: Defence ICT, Federal Government secure environments, deployable networks, mission-critical systems or complex integrated environments.
