The Opportunity
Don't just secure the perimeter, shape the platform. We are looking for a Product Security Engineer to join the MQ-28 program at a pivotal moment. This isn't a corporate IT role, this is a Cyber Systems Engineering opportunity. You will move beyond traditional network security to design and implement security architectures across the entire MQ-28 ecosystem, from mission systems hardware and avionics to software and firmware, critical data links, and ground-based control stations.
The Challenge
As part of a high-tempo development program, you won't be securing legacy systems. You will be influencing the design of one of Australia's most advanced autonomous systems from the ground up. You will tackle the complex intersection of security with embedded systems, software, and autonomy, ensuring that the MQ-28 can perform its mission in contested environments.
Your Impact
What You Bring
The Environment
Ability to obtain a Security Clearance - The preferred applicant will be required to successfully undergo the security clearance vetting process for NEGATIVE VETTING Level 1 (NV1). The preferred applicant MUST be willing to disclose all relevant and required information and MUST have lived in Australia, or have a checkable background, for at least the preceding Ten years.

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene
Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
