As Australia’s multi-disciplinary advisory and business partner of choice for clients in defence, government and infrastructure, we deliver complex things that matter.

A real endeavour, shaped by you
As a Senior Digital Mission Systems Engineer, you will serve as a senior technical advisor, instructor, and contributor, actively shaping the development of digital engineering and Model-Based Systems Engineering methodologies.

Provide senior-level technical advisory support to DPS service development, offering insights and guidance on DE, MBSE and/or M&S principles and best practices.
Support, and in some instances lead, the development of DE/MBSE/M&S methodologies, standard operating procedures, and authoritative reference materials to guide the delivery of services.
Act as a senior instructor for DPS training, facilitating the development of DE/MBSE/M&S professionals.
Provide technical advisory services to DPS engagements, contributing insights and expertise to ensure successful project outcomes.
Support in the development of new service offerings, development of collateral and the development of proposal and responses, particularly relating to technical and/or workforce considerations.
A real endeavour, driven by you

Relevant Degree qualifications with a master’s degree highly desirable, in a relevant technical discipline (engineering, physics, mathematics, data science etc.).
In-depth knowledge of Digital Engineering, MBSE and/or Mission Engineering methodologies, with demonstrated application of technical skills in Defence.
Experience planning, designing and/or implementing Data/Systems engineering solutions ensuring solutions balance functional and non-functional requirements.

Experience evaluating and comparing alternative system of systems architectures using qualitative and quantitative trade space analysis techniques.
Strong communication skills, both in written and verbal form.
