The Role

As a Combat Systems Engineer, you will play a key role across the end‑to‑end lifecycle of naval combat systems, working closely with Defence stakeholders, platform engineers, and project teams. Your focus will include:

• Supporting the integration of combat systems into naval platforms
• Managing configuration change, obsolescence, and capability upgrades
• Reviewing and validating technical artefacts and design outputs
• Conducting problem investigations, defect analysis, and technical risk assessments
• Providing technical authority within a governed engineering framework
• Contributing to verification, validation, and acceptance activities
• Engaging directly with Commonwealth and Defence stakeholders

The focus is operational systems, integration, and sustainment in a naval environment.

About You

You will bring strong defence systems engineering experience, ideally gained within a naval or maritime context. Key background requirements:

• Demonstrated experience with naval combat or warfare systems
• Exposure to systems such as weapons, sensors, radar, ordnance, or missile systems
• Strong understanding of how combat systems integrate with ship platforms
• Experience supporting capability upgrades and in‑service platforms
• Confidence working within regulated defence engineering environments
• Strong stakeholder and project engagement skills
• Applicants with an ex‑Navy weapons engineering background are highly regarded, however experienced defence engineers from industry with deep warfare systems exposure are also encouraged to apply.
