About the Role

This senior operational leadership role is accountable for Acusensus's Australian delivery function, encompassing engineering, product development, manufacturing, supply chain, and project execution. You will define and execute the delivery strategy to support growth, ensuring all products and deployments meet high standards. This is an opportunity to lead a multidisciplinary team and shape systems for future expansion.

Responsibilities

Lead the engineering team in product development and continuous improvement, championing design-for-safety and design-for-manufacturability principles.
Oversee manufacturing operations and supply chain, driving lean principles and a zero-defect culture through production planning, materials sourcing, and assembly.
Partner with the Transition-in (project management) team to plan, resource, and execute all new deployments against agreed timelines.
Align engineering and manufacturing capacity with the customer pipeline, providing accurate inputs for tenders, bids, and new program commitments.
Establish and maintain quality management processes across the full delivery lifecycle — from design review through factory acceptance testing and post-deployment verification.
Integrate field reliability data and technician feedback into engineering and manufacturing improvement cycles.
Develop and manage budgets across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain; optimise headcount, contractors, and capital expenditure.
Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing delivery team with clear career pathways and succession plans.

Requirements

12+ years’ experience in engineering, manufacturing, or product delivery roles, with clear progression into senior leadership.
5+ years leading multi-disciplinary teams spanning engineering and manufacturing functions.
Proven end-to-end delivery of complex technology hardware products, from design through to field deployment.
Strong background in manufacturing operations, supply chain management, production planning, and quality management systems.
Experience with lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, or equivalent continuous improvement methodologies.
Strong project management capability (PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent demonstrated experience on complex, multi-stakeholder programs).
Postgraduate qualifications in engineering management, project management, or business (highly desirable).
Experience contributing to government tenders or bids in a delivery or operations capacity (highly desirable).
Familiarity with ISO 9001, ISO 45001, or related quality and safety management frameworks (highly desirable).
