    Your role 

    As an Electronics Engineer in the Air Force, you’ll play an integral role supervising the maintenance of state-of-the-art aircraft, managing airborne power systems, avionics, sonar, radar and communication systems. 

    There are two streams to this role, Aviation or Networks, so your day-to-day work will vary depending on which stream you are in. 

    In the Aviation stream, you’ll mainly be responsible for the avionics (electronics and internal systems) on aircraft that allow them to fly. This includes a range of systems including power generation and distribution, radar and navigation, surveillance, electronic control, mission, communications, and electronic warfare.

    In the Networks stream, you’ll primarily work on IT & network equipment that helps the Air Force stay connected within the organisation, and to others. It’s your duty to ensure every aircraft in the sky and all the personnel and equipment on the ground can communicate regardless of location. 

    On top of this, as an Air Force Officer you’ll be trained to become an inspirational leader and mentor; adept at effectively communicating with and managing teams, with a comprehensive knowledge of Air Force attitudes, values and military protocols and procedures.

    Salary

    You’ll earn a good salary from day one, and be paid to train and learn the skills required. On completion of your initial military training and initial employment training, you could earn $90,629 per annum plus 16.4% superannuation, and your salary increases as you progress.

    Location

    Upon completion of your training in Victoria and New South Wales, you may be posted to one of the major Air Force bases around Australia such as RAAF Base Amberley, RAAF Base Williamtown or RAAF Base Edinburgh.
