About the role

Cubic Defense is seeking a Systems Test Manager to lead a multidisciplinary team of Systems, Integration, Test, and Simulation Engineers responsible for verification, validation, and qualification of complex aerospace and defense systems. You will develop test strategies, manage SILs, HWIL, and SWIL environments, ensuring requirements traceability and readiness for reviews and customer demonstrations. The role emphasizes leadership, collaboration, and technical excellence.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
