Title
Systems Engineer
The Opportunity
Join KBR as a Systems Engineer on a complex, mission-critical Command & Control (C2) program delivering secure, integrated IT capabilities to Defence.
This is not a siloed systems engineering role - you will report to the Systems Engineering, Integration and Test Team Lead and work across cybersecurity, networks, software, and infrastructure, contributing to the end-to-end delivery of mission systems, from requirements and architecture through to integration, verification, and certification.
If you are looking to move beyond documentation-heavy roles and into real system-level problem solving and integration, this is the role.
At KBR, you'll be part of a team of teams delivering complex, high-impact programs across Australia and the Asia-Pacific.
