Your Role
As a Development Engineer at Kongsberg Maritime, you will be a key player in our Waterjet Systems product team. Your main responsibility will be to work on the development and implementation of innovative product design solutions. You will coordinate and collaborate with colleagues across different functions, as well as with customers and suppliers, to ensure the successful design and product development.
In this role you will be involved in a variety of tasks. You may work in areas such as mechanics, hydraulics, and electronics, depending on your expertise and experience. The focus will vary based on which tasks are initiated and prioritized.

Qualifications and experience
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering or a related field, with a strong technical mindset.

We are all about hands-on challenges and support to help you become the best development engineer you can be. We are open to provide any relevant training and internal development to increase your competence level.
Due to the nature of an international customer and supplier base, a high level of English, both written and spoken, is required. Communication skills in other languages are advantageous.
We appreciate your ability to take initiative and make things happen in a systematic way. An innovative mindset is essential, as is the ability to analyze and come up with new ideas and solutions. Collaboration is key to our success, so you should work well with others, communicate effectively, share knowledge, experience and support your colleagues in achieving team goals.
A strong customer focus and understanding of business impact will be important in this role.

As this role is subject to export control regulations and requires security clearance, citizenship-related questions will be included in the recruitment process.
