About us

Boeing Defence Australia (BDA) is shaping the future of Australian aerospace by delivering some of the nation's most important capabilities to the Australian Defence Force. BDA currently employs more than 3,000 people across 14 sites in Australia and three international locations and have a range of opportunities available as we plan for future growth.

Role Overview

The Boeing MQ-28 Ghost Bat is a globally-significant program that will deliver a disruptive advantage to support Defence operational capabilities. As we continue to accelerate the development program, and expand the aircraft flight envelope through the test program, we are seeking the very best talent from a diverse range of backgrounds to help grow and contribute to our innovative team.

As an ICT-savvy Senior Systems Design & Integration Engineer within the Ground Systems Team you will be responsible for a complex computing system, encompassing both hardware and software components. This is a high-level "hands‐on" individual contributor role, essential to ensuring our technical systems are viable, cost‐effective, and fully integrated from initial design through to deployment and support whilst meeting rigorous standards for usability, functionality, security, and performance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Leverage advanced technical expertise to troubleshoot and resolve complex, escalated system problems using specialized computing system knowledge.
  • Collaborate with external product suppliers to drive enhancements and resolve technical issues that cannot be mitigated in‐house.
  • Maintain meticulous documentation of all resolutions and technical analyses in accordance with established support procedures.
  • Required Qualification and Competencies

  • Technical Expertise: Relevant university degree and proven ability to integrate software and COTS and MIL‐spec hardware within complex computing environments, with strong diagnosis and fault‐finding abilities, within Linux and Windows environments (essential).
  • Analytical Problem Solving: Demonstrated ability to apply advanced troubleshooting techniques to resolve high‐level, escalated system failures (essential).
  • Communication: Ability to work with an Agile environment and lead professional technical discussions with internal and external teams to satisfy project needs (essential).
  • Mentoring: Ability to play a key part in the team's growth by mentoring junior engineers (essential).
  • Security: Experience implementing ISM controls and adhering to AS/NZS and MIL specifications (highly regarded).
  • Compliance & Documentation: Disciplined approach to documenting system design, technical analyses, and resolution procedures utilising the project's tools (eg. Atlassian suite) and procedures (essential).
  • Defense Clearance: Current NV1 or higher and be able to meet other necessary requirements (essential).
  • Applicants must be Australian Citizens to meet defence security requirements.
