Operational Systems Designer

At Kongsberg Discovery, we develop advanced technologies that help create safer, smarter, and more sustainable operations at sea. Together with our customers we are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world's most demanding marine environments. As our new Operational Systems Designer, you will take a holistic approach to the design of next-generation Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) systems. You will work at the intersection of people, operations and technology, seeing how individual solutions fit into the bigger picture and helping multidisciplinary teams create the best possible overall system. This is a role for someone who listens, understands different perspectives and can move confidently between users, engineers, product teams and other stakeholders. By understanding both human needs and technical possibilities, you will help turn complexity into safe, intuitive and effective operational solutions.

Work across disciplines with users, developers and stakeholders, integrating autonomous USV systems and translating different perspectives and needs into effective solutions

Follow projects from initial concepts to market-ready products, contributing throughout user studies, design, development, validation and testing

Knowledge of ISO 11064 and ISO 9241-210

Ability to lead and collaborate in complex development environments, providing guidance and specialist expertise

Build trust, listen actively and understand the perspectives of people with different backgrounds and expertise

Move comfortably between different disciplines and working environments

At KONGSBERG, we believe that diversity fuels innovation. We encourage you to apply, even if you do not meet every requirement. Your unique perspective is valuable to us. Your skills, attitude and perspective could be exactly what we are looking for!

Our main offices are in Horten, but we offer flexible solutions to accommodate candidates who prefer working from Lysaker.
