15 years ago if you wanted to build advanced aircraft in Australia your best bet was booking a one-way ticket overseas or settle for paper engineering.
Science then Australias aerospace scene has evolved. Weve moved from maintaining aircraft to designing and building them. From licensing offshore IP to owning the innovations ourselves.
Today sovereign capability is no longer a pipe dream - its a national strategy.
And engineers Youre finally at the center of it.
Were now entering an era where mechanical systems engineering is a mission-critical craft - designing the muscle motion and mechanics that enable high-agility flight and autonomous operations.
This role is for someone who:
Has a strong grasp of first-principles design and mechanical systems thinking
Wants to see their designs built - not sit in CAD purgatory
Thrives in fast-moving test-driven zero-fluff engineering teams
Is excited by prototyping validation and iteration - on the clock not in theory
Youll get to:
Own mechanical subsystems across the designbuildtest cycle
Collaborate with avionics flight software and structures engineers
Lead design validation using FEA and test rigs
Help take a platform from concept to flight
Work with ex-defence ex-startup and aerospace veterans building sovereign IP
If youve spent your time designing FSAE cars or leading student teams to actually ship things youll feel right at home.
Youll need:
A Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering degree
25 years experience designing real-world hardware (UAVs vehicles aircraft)
Fluency in CAD (SolidWorks Creo etc.) and FEA tools
Australian citizenship (NV1 clearance or eligibility preferred)
