Field Integration Support Officer

This organisation designs, manufactures and supports mission systems for the Australian Defence Force and international allied customers, including in the United States.

The Opportunity
This role exists to support the integration, test and set-to-work of mission systems.

You'll sit within the Engineering department, working closely with fellow engineers rather than as a lone operator.

The role is genuinely hands-on, with access to

• Field exposure, travelling to Australian and US sites 10-12 weeks a year to work directly on fielded systems
• Close, hands-on work with mission systems technology, not just documentation from behind a desk
• Broad exposure across both integration facility works and real-world fielded environments
• Working alongside a close-knit specialist engineering team, with direct access to subject matter experts
• Structured in-house training and upskilling on proprietary systems and field support requirements

The Role

You’ll be:

• Supporting the integration and test of mission systems
• Producing accurate test reports and system documentation in line with Defence protocols
• Working with other engineers to set up appropriate network infrastructure ahead of system deployment and within the fielded environment
• Acting proactively as the subject matter expert for the set-to-work and ongoing support of systems in the fielded environment, engaging with external stakeholders
• Supporting system trials where required
• Undertaking in-house training and upskilling on proprietary products and field support requirements

The Ideal Person
You bring sound technical skills, a proactive approach to stakeholder engagement, and you're genuinely willing to travel for the work rather than seeing it as a drawback.

You will bring the following skills and experience:

• Sound knowledge of the Defence environment
• Demonstrated ability to deliver results by managing workflow, setting priorities and meeting deadlines
• Experience leading or contributing to the routine maintenance and operational support of fielded systems
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences

• Permanent, full-time position
• On-site, Canberra based
• Requires travel to Australian and US field sites for approximately 10-12 weeks per year
