Steve Brady is a Senior Systems Engineer – F-35 Mission Data at PAC. In his role, he supports the RAAF and RAF No. 80 Squadrons in realizing their vision of developing best-in-class, effectual mission data for AUS and UK F-35 operations.
Before joining PAC, Steve served in the RAAF for 19 years. The first four years of his RAAF career were spent in aircraft maintenance before discovering a passion for Electronic Warfare (EW). The following 15 years were primarily spent developing his technical and leadership skills in EW. During this period, he completed a Masters in Electrical Engineering (Radar), spent four years developing and testing aircraft survivability techniques, and spent eight years supporting F-35 mission data reprogramming in both acquisition and operations.
For rest and relaxation, Steve enjoys time with his spouse Luiza, trying to surf, fishing, reading, and developing code. He is currently completing a Master of Computer Science (AI/ML), which occupies a lot of his spare time.
“My role with PAC ticks all my ‘dream job’ boxes. I am extremely grateful that I work with an amazing team that supports an exceptional client, to field mission data that enables our F-35 warfighters to fly, fight, and survive.”
