The first thing you learn at Leidos Australia is to leave current thinking at the door. Our aim is to make the world a safer, healthier and more efficient place, but we won’t get far using existing ideas. We need incisive minds like yours to weave together information technology, engineering and science skills into practical solutions for the most complex and high risk challenges.

About you and What you'll bring

This is a great opportunity to take the next step in your career. We provide the mentoring and training in order to help you achieve your career goals. This is a large and complex multi-vendor environment so you will be challenged in this role. You will also be able to demonstrate:

• Strong problem solving skills;

• Complete understanding and wide application of technical principles, theories and concepts, in the field;
• Working knowledge of other related disciplines including hardware and software practices;
