The role requires Defence specific experience in:

- Working under limited direction to undertake complex systems engineering tasks, including preparation of technical certification plans and engineering documentation.
- Performing mechanical engineering duties such as CAD modelling and design review,



and contributing to the development, analysis and integration of engineering solutions.
- Developing, reviewing and maintaining Test and Evaluation Strategy (TES), Test and Evaluation Master Plans (TEMP) and associated T&E; artifacts, while actively engaging with key stakeholders across the capability lifecycle.
- Conducting and/or supporting Preview T&E; (PT&E;), Developmental T&E; (DT&E;), Acceptance T&E; (AT&E;), Operational T&E; (OT&E;) and In‑Service T&E; activities in accordance with Defence requirements.

Experience / Skills Sought The successful candidate will be responsible for:
- Applying Test and Evaluation (T&E;) principles across all stages of the product lifecycle, ensuring activities are appropriately planned,



executed and aligned with capability requirements.
- Demonstrating understanding of how Defence engineering disciplines - including mechanical, systems and safety engineering - interface with and support T&E; activities.
- Supporting and authoring key T&E; documentation such as T&E; Strategies and Test and Evaluation Master Plans (TEMP) and providing T&E; inputs and advice to Systems Engineering Management Plans, Safety Management Plans, and Configuration Management Plans.
- Providing qualified T&E; advice to support the achievement and maintenance of land‑worthiness for land military systems and equipment in accordance with relevant governance frameworks and technical regulations.
- Conducting mechanical engineering duties including, mechanical design review, engineering analysis, and integration of mechanical components within broader systems.
- Preparing and maintaining engineering documentation, including technical certification plans, engineering assessments, design artefacts, and verification & validation (V&V;) reports.
- Applying mechanical and systems engineering principles to support the development, testing, integration and sustainment of Defence materiel.

Essential Experience and / or Qualifications:
- A qualified T&E; practitioner with relevant and recent defence industry experience of more than 3 years.
- Good understanding of Defence T&E; Systems Engineering concepts.
- Understanding of the One Defence Capability System (formerly the Capability Life Cycle).
- Previous & current experience and thorough understanding of T&E; policies.
