SYPAQ is an industry leader in C4ISREW and autonomous systems integration, product development, and consulting services, with established engineering teams across projects in Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, and Brisbane. Our rich history of partnering with the Australian Defence and National Security community continues to deliver a true sovereign industrial capability through advanced engineering and technology services and solutions.
Our team of experienced technical staff are subject matter experts in the development and delivery of autonomous systems and complex technical projects. Due to rapid expansion within the business, SYPAQ requires a Machine Learning (ML) Developer to join our defence team based in Port Melbourne.
This position is an exciting opportunity to be involved in a leading machine-learning research project. This project will involve the development of sophisticated machine-learning based solutions for a series of operations research problems. This is a complex problem, involving multiple systems, functioning within a niche dynamic operating environment.
We are looking for a data scientist/analyst/engineer to join our small and innovative R&D team on a fast-paced collaborative project. The project will draw on your dynamic data analytics, machine learning and modelling skills. This project is in its infancy and presents an excellent opportunity to influence and shape the form and direction of future derivative products.
This would suit an individual who loves to undertake a range of diverse and challenging problems. You will need to work collaboratively within a small diverse team across simultaneous tasks with multiple stakeholders. You will utilise your knowledge of science, mathematics and computing combined with critical thinking to assist with the deep analysis of candidate solutions to understand their performance bounds. You will be involved in the preparation of reports, software and other deliverables to stakeholders.
