Careers
Small team. Serious work.
Invictus CSA is a small, senior engineering team based in Newcastle, working nationally and internationally on systems where the stakes are real — Defence platforms, power infrastructure, high-hazard facilities, and critical infrastructure. No account layer, no bench: the work is technical, consequential, and done by the people whose names are on the About page. If you want your engineering judgement used rather than managed, that’s the offer.
Who we look for
Engineering judgement used rather than managed
People whose work survives scrutiny — the kind who’d rather flag a problem than sign around it.
System safety
MIL-STD-882E / IEC 61508 family
Depth in standards-led assurance work.
RAM and assets
Reliability and maintenance engineering
People who understand how assets behave in service.
UAV / field
UAV and inspection operations
Access-risk work that still feeds engineering decisions.
ADF experience
Veterans and reservists, genuinely welcome
Veterans are strongly encouraged to apply and to disclose prior military service — here, it counts for you, not against you.
Veteran Friendly Employer, Level 2
Recognised at Level 2 for policy-backed support of veterans and ADF reservists.
Paid reserve leave
Paid leave for ADF reservists fulfilling their reserve duties.
Commemoration activities
Support for employees taking part in commemoration activities.
Service counts for you
Prior military service is an asset here — something that counts for you, not a gap to explain away.
