Your role

Imagine a job that combines software engineering with some of the most technically-advanced helicopters in the skies, and delivers an exciting lifestyle too.You'll find that job in the Army.

The Army operates more helicopters than any other organisation in Australia, and they are some of the world's most technically-advanced aircraft. Keeping this fleet at peak operational capability is the job of a talented team of Aerospace Engineers.

When you join that team as a Aerospace Software Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, construction and testing of the large-scale software systems that support aircraft such as the:

  • ARH Tiger Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter
  • MRH-90 Multi-Role Helicopter
  • Chinook, and
  • Black Hawk.

The maintenance, logistics and management functions you engage with will be critical to ensuring the availability and airworthiness of these formidable military aircraft.

Your work could take you to one of many Army bases across Australia, and on deployments overseas. 

Without question this is a software engineering role with a rewarding extra dimension. Better still, in the Army you'll be working for a dynamic organisation that offers a great lifestyle plus experiences you'd never encounter in comparable civilian roles.

If you love coding and have a relevant degree (or would like to be paid while you acquire one), then apply now for the exciting role of Aerospace Software Engineer.
