- Assess operational and environmental data to model system behaviour and evaluate performance.
- Work collaboratively with technical and operational specialists to advance Hybrid Naval concepts.
- Contribute to requirements engineering, system-level design and integration activities.
- Provide informed technical input to guide experimentation, capability evolution and decision-making.
Required Experience
- Strong background in defence or naval systems engineering.
- Experience with sensors, data assessment, combat systems or weapon system integration.
- Ability to translate operational needs into system designs and architectures.
- Engineering or academic background capable of influencing high-level concept development.
Desirable
- DV clearance preferred; SC considered
