Design Technologies Engineer

ASC is Australia’s submarine company. We built the Royal Australian Navy’s Collins Class submarines, sustain them, and are now delivering their Life of Type Extension to increase the boats’ service lives. We have also been selected by the Australian Government to sustain and jointly build the nation’s nuclear-powered submarines – the largest and most complex industrial undertaking in Australia’s history.

Our work is interesting and meaningful, contributing directly to Australia’s national security. We offer rewarding roles that provide the opportunity to grow your career, and the flexibility to balance life and work. A career at ASC is like no other, delivering a deeper purpose we can all be proud of.

About the Opportunity As part of ASC's continued investment in digital engineering capability, we're seeking a

Design Technologies Engineer

to help shape and support the tools and technologies that enable some of Australia's most complex engineering programs.

Working across a diverse portfolio of engineering and design applications, you'll drive system performance, user capability and continuous improvement. Joining a collaborative and highly skilled team, you'll have the opportunity to make a tangible impact while expanding your expertise in an advanced engineering environment.

While this role is ideally based in Adelaide, SA, we also welcome applications from exceptional candidates located in Perth, WA, who will work closely with our Adelaide-based team from ASC's Perth office.

What you'll be doing

Support, configure, develop and maintain a suite of engineering and design applications, ensuring tools remain reliable, accessible and fit for purpose.

Act as the link between engineering users, digital systems and business requirements, helping teams maximise the value of digital engineering tools and technologies.

Deliver specialist Level 2/3 support for engineering applications, working closely with users, vendors and internal teams to resolve complex technical issues.

Manage tool licensing, system availability and application performance, ensuring engineering teams can operate effectively and efficiently.

Collaborate with IT, cybersecurity, procurement, legal and commercial teams to support compliant, secure and sustainable technology solutions.

Drive continuous improvement initiatives, user training and best practice adoption across ASC's digital engineering environment.

About you You're a proactive and solutions-focused professional who enjoys working at the intersection of engineering and technology. Comfortable balancing competing priorities, you can dive deep into technical challenges while maintaining a broad view of what delivers the best outcome for the business. With strong communication skills and a collaborative approach, you build trusted relationships and provide exceptional support to a diverse range of stakeholders.

You’ll bring:

Experience using, supporting and configuring 2D and 3D CAD tools, engineering design applications, and modelling or simulation environments.

Familiarity with PLM/PDM platforms and an understanding of how engineering data, workflows and design tools integrate across the engineering lifecycle.

Broad technical knowledge across engineering applications, virtual desktop environments, enterprise infrastructure and cybersecurity concepts.

Experience working with SQL databases, scripting or programming languages to support, automate or enhance technical solutions.

Strong customer service, communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships across technical and non-technical teams.

Excellent problem-solving and time management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities in a dynamic environment.

Experience within Defence, or an understanding of Defence engineering standards and regulations, will be highly regarded.

Eligibility This role requires a current National Police Clearance and an Australian Defence Security Clearance. Your eligibility for this role is dependent on you obtaining and maintaining such clearance.

Whilst ASC will accept all applications for this role, as this role requires an ability to access protected US defence technology, applicants holding nationality of certain foreign countries will not be eligible.
