As we build our business and our capabilities, we are also developing a reputation as a great place to work. Help us define what is possible for our nation and for your career.\nThe Role:\nAttention Aerospace, Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineers early in your careers, this is the kind of role that can accelerate your development far beyond what you'd typically find in a post graduate or junior engineering positions.\nYou'll be part of the Engineering & Technical Services team, helping connect technical information from the OEM and other stakeholders with the technicians and maintainers who keep the aircraft fleet operating safely and effectively. Rather than being given a narrow piece of work, you'll gain exposure to aircraft sustainment, engineering investigations, modifications, technical information reviews and Defence aviation processes while working alongside experienced engineers who will actively help build your capability.\nThe team is also introducing new Defence-specific systems and processes, creating opportunities to contribute ideas, influence how work is done and develop an understanding of aircraft sustainment from the ground up.\nThis role is based in Springfield or Pinkenba (Brisbane Airport), Queensland.

What matters most is your willingness to learn, work well with others and apply what you've learned at university to real engineering challenges.\nYou'll enjoy this role if you're naturally curious, like understanding how things work, and are keen to learn from experienced engineers while building a career in aviation or Defence.\nWhat we Offer\nWe have built our benefits to help you define your possible.\nProfessional Development - further education, leadership development, professional industry memberships and unlimited access to a range of online training\nPurchased additional annual leave - 2 weeks\nSalary packaging including novated car leases\nGenerous paid parental leave - 18 Weeks\nVolunteer and enhanced Reservist Leave\nHealth & Wellbeing program\nEmployee Assistance Program\nEveryone Matters \nDoing the right thing and sharing success are two values underpinning how we behave at Northrop Grumman.
