• We are looking for multiple Technical Leads, who are mission-focused and can drive strategic technical solutions, engineering design principles & best practices, as well as guide technical staff to deliver outcomes in a fast-paced operational environment. Not all of these roles have a requirement for hands-on technical skills and ‘on the tools’ input, but candidates must have the ability and desire to work in a highly technical environment.
• ASD Technical Leads are expected to engage across ASD, Defence and wider government as necessary to achieve ASD’s strategic objectives. They are required to provide expertise in translating business requirements from technical and non-technical users into the design of appropriate solutions and therefore must be able to demonstrate excellent communication and stakeholder management skills. They will have the ability to problem solve, demonstrate strong leadership qualities, apply strong lateral thinking, and have sound independent judgement.
• This is a bulk recruitment round with requirements spanning across a range of teams. As such, we are looking for individuals with deep experience in one of a number of technical fields, including:
• Assess technical packages, reports, processes and product and equipment performance to meet specified requirements, review recommendations for continuous improvements and corrective actions.
