About CSIRO

About NEAC

The National Energy Analysis Centre (NEAC) is a CSIRO-led, next-generation digital research infrastructure that will drive and inform Australia's energy transition to net zero. NEAC offers a systems-science approach, combining technical data with human behaviour insights to support faster, smarter energy innovation. It connects real people, physical test facilities, and sophisticated modelling to support researchers, innovators, and policymakers in shaping the energy landscape of the future.

NEAC includes:

• The Living Lab – a real-world data network of homes, businesses and energy users
• The Systems Science Toolbox – a comprehensive model suite for Australia's entire energy system
• Physical Infrastructure Integration – connections to CSIRO facilities for testing and simulation

As a Senior Systems Engineer in NEAC, you will play a central role in the development and application of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to support Australia’s energy transition. Linking your knowledge of applied mathematics, engineering physics, modelling and computing with real-world energy transition challenges, you will co-operate with a diverse cross-disciplinary team to develop MBSE-based capabilities and applications that can deliver meaningful value to government, industry and communities across Australia.

If you have a desire to bring your strong systems engineering and analytical skills to a collaborative and innovative team and support the energy transition, we look forward to hearing from you!

• Translate multiple stakeholder perspectives into formal requirements in SysML
• Develop SysML models of parts of the Australian energy system aligned with NEAC’s reference architecture and application priorities
• Develop scientific computing software realising a range of analytical workflows
• Collaborate with NEAC leadership, CSIRO scientists, and the NEAC development team to create and deliver NEAC’s capability roadmap and project priorities
• Coach and support colleagues in the application of modern systems engineering at CSIRO and act as a conduit to the wider systems engineering community
• Adhere to the spirit and practice of CSIRO’s Values, Health, Safety and Environment plans and policies, diversity initiatives and Zero Harm goals

Location and office arrangements: Flexible – Newcastle, Canberra, Melbourne, Brisbane. Other locations with a CSIRO Energy presence may be considered.
