We are pleased to invite applications from experienced Electronic Warfare/ RF Technicians for a new opportunity on our team.

Based on our Defence client’s site in Edinburgh, South Australia, our Technician will join a team supporting customer trials and help to design, build and test custom ruggedised containers to meet their trial needs.

• Generating reports as required by the client post-test activity
• Well-developed problem-solving skills with a proactive, solutions-oriented approach to work
• A level of comfort working in a customer-facing environment

Whilst not essential, some CAD experience will be well regarded as our prototyping will be turned into a design package.

Due to the nature of this role, applicants must hold an active Australian Defence security clearance (minimum level of Baseline).

Whilst applications must be made online, confidential enquiries are welcome and may be directed to Roz Byrne, People Partner via email; rbyrne@qinetiq.com.au
