The Directed Energy group develops and demonstrates laser systems in the tens to hundreds of kilowatts class for counter-uncrewed aircraft system (C-UAS) and short range air defence roles, spanning the laser source, beam director, tracking and fire control, power and thermal management, and platform integration.\nThis role is the practical bridge between engineering and the field. You will build and integrate the systems in Canberra, take them to the range, and keep them running through trials and customer demonstrations. You will also be trained and qualified as a system operator, running the console during live serials and demonstrations.\nIt suits an experienced technician or ex-service tradesperson with a weapons, range or trials background: someone who wants ownership of a whole system rather than one bench, and who would rather be on the range than at a desk. Range and weapon system experience is essential, not a nice to have.\nEvery role in this team spends time in the field. Our systems are proven at the test range and on trial sites, and you will be there when that happens.\nPrimary duties\nThe job plays a pivotal role in turning designs into working, maintainable systems and in sustaining them through integration, trials and demonstrations.\nYou will provide expertise in the build, integration, maintenance and field support of complex electro-mechanical and optical systems, and, as an additional duty, in operating them on the range.\nKey Responsibilities\nBuild, assemble and integrate laser system hardware across optical, mechanical, electrical and fluid subsystems, working to drawings and work instructions.\nFabricate, terminate and test cable harnesses, fluid lines and mechanical assemblies to defence quality standards.\nSet up, operate and maintain the system during laboratory testing, range trials and customer demonstrations, running engagement sequences under the direction of the trial director and laser safety officer.\nPerform first and second line maintenance, fault diagnosis and repair, including component replacement, recalibration and realignment.\nPrepare, transport, set up and pack down the system for range activities, including the handling, lifting and tie-down of heavy and sensitive assemblies.\nMaintain configuration, maintenance and defect records, and feed observed issues back to engineering with enough detail to be actionable.\nContribute to and improve work instructions, maintenance procedures, spares lists and training material based on hands-on experience.\nUphold safety on the shop floor and on the range, including range safety procedures, laser safety, electrical safety and manual handling, in accordance with the Work Health and Safety Act.\nExperience\nEssential:\nTrade qualification or Advanced Diploma in an electrical, electronic, mechanical or mechatronic discipline, or equivalent ADF technical training.\nMinimum 5 years in the build, integration, test or maintenance of complex electro-mechanical systems.\nDemonstrated experience in a military, weapons or range environment, whether as an ADF technician or operator, at a proof and experimental establishment, or supporting live fire trials, including familiarity with range safety procedures and trial discipline.\nAbility to work from engineering drawings, schematics and wiring diagrams without close supervision, and to fault-find with multimeters, oscilloscopes and system diagnostics.\nExperience with precision assembly and the careful handling of sensitive equipment, ideally including optics.\nDemonstrated competence operating complex equipment under supervision and procedure, and clear record keeping.\nCurrent driver licence and the physical capability for field work, including manual handling and extended outdoor work.\nWillingness to spend extended periods at the test range and other trial sites within Australia, including out-of-hours work around demonstration campaigns.\nHighly regarded:\nPrior experience in a field service or field support role, or as a weapon system operator.\nLaser safety training, or experience working around Class 4 lasers.\nElectrical safety, high voltage, elevated work platform or forklift licences.\nExperience delivering operator or maintainer training.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4875,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-04T13:06:25Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":20,"band":"cold","label":"Long
