As a Senior Integration Engineer supporting the JP9101 program, you will play a pivotal role in leading system-level Integration and Test activities for the upgraded Enhanced Defence High Frequency Communications System (EDHFCS).
You will oversee the planning, design, execution and reporting of integration activities, ensuring system performance, interoperability and readiness are validated prior to transition to Acceptance Test phases.
Working across a range of test environments, including the Production Integration Test Laboratory (PITL), System Integration and Test Laboratory (SITL), Commonwealth test environments and operational EDHFCS sites, you will guide integration strategies and resolve complex technical issues across the engineering lifecycle.
You will also provide authoritative technical advice, contribute to engineering process improvement, and mentor engineers within the team, helping to strengthen engineering capability while ensuring integration outcomes maintain the highest level of technical integrity.

With the proven ability to lead technical investigations, you will develop and review engineering documentation, and deliver integration and test activities that meet demanding requirements for quality, schedule and cost.
Your expertise enables you to assess multi-domain technical risks, apply relevant standards and engineering principles, and make informed decisions that support program success.
In addition to your technical depth, you take pride in mentoring others, sharing knowledge and continuously improving engineering processes and practices.
To be successful in this position you will bring:
Extensive experience in relatable technical/engineering roles.
Experience leading System‑level Integration and Test activities for complex Defence or communications systems.
Proven ability to develop integration strategies, test architectures and verification approaches for multi‑subsystem environments.

Strong background diagnosing and resolving complex interoperability, performance, and configuration issues.
Experience generating technical documentation, including Test Plans, Test Procedures and OQE‑level reporting.
Demonstrated capability engaging with Defence stakeholders, OEMs, and engineering teams to drive technical outcomes.
