Working in our Hivemind Solutions team you will lead the Modelling and Simulation capability for our Australian based Mission Autonomy programs. You will be responsible for developing and integrating the simulation and test environments which our autonomy engineers use to develop, test and demonstrate Mission Autonomy solutions for uncrewed aircraft. In this role, you will guide multidisciplinary engineering teams in designing, implementing, and integrating high‑performance real-time and faster than real-time simulation frameworks across distributed, containerized, and hardware‑in‑the‑loop environments. Your work will directly support key customer programs, internal R&D, and mission‑critical autonomy development—ensuring our simulation ecosystem is robust, scalable, and operationally representative.
