The role

We are seeking an experienced Advanced Hardware Test Engineer to play a key role in the verification, validation, integration and acceptance of complex mission-critical defence systems.

Working within a multidisciplinary engineering team, you will be responsible for the design and development of hardware test solutions, test jigs and fixtures, execution of verification and validation activities, and management of products through environmental qualification and factory acceptance testing. This position offers the opportunity to influence product quality from design through to delivery, ensuring systems perform reliably in demanding operational environments.

This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who enjoys hands-on testing, problem solving and working closely with hardware, systems, quality and manufacturing teams across the full product lifecycle

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop and document hardware test jigs, fixtures and test equipment to support verification, validation and production acceptance activities.
  • Develop and execute hardware test plans, procedures, reports and acceptance documentation.
  • Manage hardware products through factory acceptance testing (FAT), environmental qualification and verification activities.
  • Review hardware designs for Design for Test (DFT) and Design for Manufacture (DFM) considerations.
  • Support EMI/EMC, vibration, shock and environmental qualification testing to relevant Defence and Military Standards.
  • Investigate test failures, perform root cause analysis and work with design teams to implement corrective actions.
  • Develop and maintain product structures and engineering data within ERP/PLM environments to support manufacturing, procurement and quality requirements.
  • Contribute to technical reviews, design verification reviews and customer acceptance activities.
  • Collaborate with Systems, Electronics, Mechanical, Quality and Manufacturing Engineering teams to ensure compliance with customer and regulatory requirements.

About you

You are a practical and analytical engineer with a passion for testing complex hardware systems and delivering high-quality technical outcomes. You are comfortable working autonomously while collaborating effectively across engineering disciplines.

Your skills and experience will include:

  • Experience managing hardware products through verification, validation and factory acceptance testing activities.
  • Proven ability to develop test plans, procedures, reports and verification evidence for complex hardware systems.
  • Experience testing electrical and electronic assemblies using formal engineering and test methodologies.
  • Strong understanding of hardware integration, troubleshooting and fault investigation techniques.
  • Experience supporting environmental qualification testing, including shock, vibration, temperature and humidity testing.
  • Knowledge of EMI/EMC testing and compliance within Defence, aerospace, maritime or other highly regulated industries.
  • Ability to interpret technical requirements, specifications, schematics and engineering documentation.
  • Experience working within a structured engineering lifecycle and configuration-controlled environment.

Qualifications

  • Degree qualification in Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics or a related Engineering discipline.
  • Eligible for registration as a Professional Engineer in Australia.

Applicants must be Australian citizens and hold or be able to obtain an Australian Defence Security Clearance to baseline/NV1/NV2 level. Information including past and present nationality and citizenship may be requested to check eligibility for access to materials controlled under various export control regimes, including ITAR.

Flexible work arrangements such as hybrid work from home / office and a 9-day fortnight will be considered for this role.

What you will be part of

  • Explore a world of possibilities. Tackle challenges, drive innovation, and grow your career in an environment where curiosity and diverse perspectives are valued. Together, we achieve extraordinary outcomes, and your contribution matters.
