Production Technician (R5229)

Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced Aerospace Technician to join our growing team developing advanced airborne vision and detection systems for both manned and unmanned aircraft platforms. Our systems integrate high-performance imaging sensors, onboard processing, and intelligent detection capabilities into ruggedised camera pods deployed across fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft.

This role is ideal for a hands-on technician who enjoys precision assembly work, thrives in a structured quality environment, and takes pride in building high-value, low-volume systems to an exceptional standard.

You will work closely with engineers and production staff across the full lifecycle of the build process - from incoming goods and inventory management through to assembly, documentation, integration, and testing. The role also offers involvement in R&D and prototype development activities supporting next-generation aerospace systems.

We are looking for an experienced technician who is comfortable working in a disciplined engineering environment while remaining adaptable and solutions-focused.

What you'll do:

• Assemble and integrate aerospace-grade camera pod systems and associated electronic assemblies
• Work closely with engineers to support prototype and production builds
• Perform basic component and subsystem testing
• Manage incoming goods inspection and inventory activities
• Maintain accurate build records, traceability, and manufacturing documentation
• Follow established quality processes and procedures in line with ISO9001 / AS9100 standards
• Support continuous improvement initiatives across production and documentation workflows
• Assist with troubleshooting and rework activities when required
• Ensure high standards of workmanship, quality, and attention to detail are maintained at all times

Required qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in a technician, assembly, or manufacturing role
• Experience working within ISO9001, AS9100, or similarly rigorous quality systems
• Strong electronics assembly and integration experience
• Experience with high-value, low-volume production environments
• Excellent documentation and record-keeping skills
• Strong organisational skills with experience handling inventory or incoming goods processes
• Ability to read and follow technical drawings, work instructions, and procedures
• Permanent Residency or Citizenship in Australia

Preferred qualifications:

• Aerospace or defence industry experience
• Experience supporting R&D or prototype development activities
• Familiarity with electro-mechanical systems, optical systems, or airborne payloads

What we offer:

• The opportunity to work on advanced airborne sensing and vision technologies
• Interesting and meaningful projects with real-world operational impact
• A supportive, collaborative, and highly skilled team environment
• Strong focus on staff retention, professional development, and long-term career growth
• Access to the resources and stability of a larger global organisation while working within a focused and agile local team
• Competitive salary and employee benefits

If you enjoy building cutting-edge systems, working alongside talented engineers, and contributing to innovative aerospace technology programs, we would love to hear from you.
