Job Description
At Downer Professional Services (DPS), we work on complex and meaningful Defence, government, and infrastructure projects that shape Australia’s future. Our people are at the heart of what we do, bringing expertise, innovation, and leadership to critical programs.
We support our business units—Mission Engineering, Advisory and Technical Services, and Team Downer—as the prime Major Service Provider (MSP). We deliver consulting services and Integrated Work Packages across the Department of Defence, including Defence Digital Group (DDG), Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG), and the Navy, Army, and Air Force.
We are continually seeking skilled Software Engineers for our consulting services and Integrated Work Packages. If you’re driven to make a meaningful impact and interested in future opportunities, we’d love to hear from you.
Joining our talent community ensures you’ll be considered for permanent consulting roles with Downer Professional Services, supporting Defence and National Security projects across all service lines. We are seeking to connect with Software Engineers with Battle Management and Land Systems experience.
If successful, your work may involve:
* Design, develop, and implement battle management software solutions tailored to land domain operations.
* Work closely with stakeholders, defence personnel, and engineering teams to ensure alignment with operational requirements.
* Conduct system integration, testing, and validation to ensure software reliability in mission-critical environments.
* Apply secure coding practices to meet defence industry security standards and compliance.
* Contribute to the architecture and development of scalable, high-performance battle management software solutions.
Our work is highly complex and confidential. Applicants must be Australian citizens with a minimum NV1 security clearance. Compliance with International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) may be necessary, which could restrict individuals with dual nationality, permanent residency, or former nationality of specific countries as outlined in ITAR 126.1.
Preferred candidates will have defence industry experience in:
* Software engineering for battle management systems (BMS) within land domain and Defence, government, or professional services.
* Qualifications or certifications and a strong background in software development using Java, C++, or Python.
* Knowledge of real-time software development and distributed systems.
* Familiarity with Defence-specific systems, protocols, and architectures.
* Experience with secure software development methodologies in defence environments.
More than anything, you’ll bring a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and a commitment to delivering high-quality outcomes.
