At MACRO Recruitment, we partner with the Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) to deliver exceptional talent for Australia's cutting-edge defence research projects.
We are currently building a network of Electronics Technicians and Electronics Engineers to support DSTG's ongoing work at their Edinburgh facility in South Australia.
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to career-defining research projects, including the prototyping of guided weapons and explosive ordnance systems.
About the Role
As part of DSTG's R&D team, you will assist in the design, construction, testing, and deployment of sensor and data capture systems for experiments involving energetic materials.
This role is ideal for:
* TAFE-qualified Electronics Technicians looking to launch their careers.
* Graduate Engineers or PhD-qualified candidates in Physics or Engineering who are 'between jobs' and seeking hands-on, impactful work.
* Assist in the specification, acquisition, and setup of sensors and data acquisition systems, including the design, construction, and testing of equipment.
* Develop data acquisition protocols and contribute to the experimental design of trials.
* Set up and operate high-speed photo instrumentation equipment and support the analysis and interpretation of imagery data.
* Participate in experiments and trials with energetic materials across laboratories, outdoor ranges, and specialist testing facilities.
* Assist in the interpretation and reporting of data captured during weapons and explosives trials using knowledge of sensors and data systems.
* Perform equipment and laboratory maintenance, including calibration of electronic and sensor systems.
Who We're Looking For
* We are seeking candidates with:
* Vocational qualifications (TAFE) or a tertiary degree in electronics, physics, or engineering.
* A strong interest in R&D, instrumentation, and sensor systems.
* Hands-on experience or understanding of electronic systems, data acquisition, or high-speed instrumentation.
* Australian citizenship (mandatory, due to Defence security requirements).
This Role Would Suit:
* Early-career professionals or recent graduates.
* Candidates with a passion for hands-on experimentation and real-world problem-solving.
