  • Over the summer, Arkeus welcomed engineering interns from DIIP - Defence Industry Internship Program and Monash University to join our Research & Development team. Their mission was to develop hyperspectral imaging technology including test of their prototype on a aircraft to capture data at higher speeds than ever before. We’re incredibly proud of the work accomplished over the last three months and grateful for the energy, curiosity and dedication the team brought to Arkeus. It’s been rewarding to see them learn, grow and contribute to real-world capability development. We wish you guys all the best in your future endeavours! Thank you Bec Leith for leading the team.

    In December, our Melbourne-based Arkeus team came together to recognise what was an extraordinary year of delivery to our global Defence and Security clients. Among the highlights was the submission of our proposal to the Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) under the Seeker Design Study — a critical step in strengthening sovereign defence capability through the leverage of the Australian-owned Arkeus. As demand accelerates across existing products and new programs in Australia and the United States, we continue to grow — expanding both capability and capacity in support of sovereign outcomes. If you want to make a difference and have real world impact through the delivery of cutting-edge mission-critical technology, then join our team of engineering, program and commercial leaders today! Head over to our careers page (https://arkeus.com/careers) or reach out to us via LinkedIn to start a conversation.
