- Mentor and guide engineering personnel to improve technical and project skills.
- Update company-wide guidelines, systems engineering, and quality processes, ensuring staff education.
- Participate in potential customer meetings to provide engineering and product insights.
- Undertake other tasks as required from time to time.

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Project Management, or a related field of studies.
- A minimum of 3+ years of relevant experience in the aerospace or defence industry.
- Proven experience in project management, including requirements management, functional requirements parsing, derivation, and allocation.
- Strong background in systems design, systems integration, and technical risk identification and management strategies.
- Familiarity with Verification and Validation (V&V) principles.
- Solid understanding of industry-standard system engineering design principles with proficiency in classical and Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) methodologies.
- Potential experience or certification in INCOSE/ENZ standards.
- Certification in Project Management Professional (PMP) or Prince2 is a plus.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication and leadership abilities.
- Detail-oriented with a commitment to quality.
- Ability to work collaboratively in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.

**In return**:
You will be working for a company that LOVE what they do. You can anticipate being in a role you will love too As a start-up organisation you can expect to work with plenty of independence whilst collaborating with others as you become the expert in your space. You’ll have a large and rewarding part to play. As this is a hands-on role, it is based in their CBD headquarters with options for WFH being limited.
