Canberra Defence Systems Engineer — Lead Architect

In less than two years, Eolas has grown from 1 to 23 Defence and national security professionals. Twelve joined through LinkedIn. We're currently looking for a Systems Engineer to join a high-impact Defence project immediately.

What Makes You Right for This

Comfortable with requirements elicitation and capability gap analysis

Proven technical skills

Australian citizen with a current NV1 clearance or above

Based in Canberra or willing to relocate ($5,000 relocation allowance available)

The difference‑maker: You've worked in system-of-systems environments where nothing is straightforward and stakeholders are everywhere. You can shape technical direction without waiting to be told what to do.

What You'll Actually Do

Lead development of key technical documentation including the Function and Performance Specifications

Contribute to concept designs and system architectures

Engage with stakeholders across a major Defence enterprise

Support verification and validation activities

Experience in Defence capability development is highly desirable.

Why Eolas

At Eolas, you won't be rewarded for looking busy. You'll be recognised for what you deliver and how you deliver it. Three values shape our work:

Own It. See a problem, fix it. Take responsibility, follow through, and make things better.

Focus on What Matters. Transparent the noise. If something doesn't move the needle, challenge it or change it.

Create Together. Respect what the client knows, bring what you know, and shape the solution together.

Ready to Join a Team Doing Things Differently?

We're not looking for contractors, we're looking for full time, permanent staff. People who see what needs doing, take responsibility, and get results.

We actively encourage applications from veterans and professionals from diverse backgrounds.
