Are you an engineer looking for an exciting position where you can combine your engineering skills with your interest in algorithm development and programming? Do you aspire to join a dedicated software development team found within a product-based company in the marine business, engaged with advanced technologies and solutions? The Hydrodynamic Research Centre at Kongsberg Maritime in Kristinehamn seeks to expand the Methods Development team with an additional Algorithms Developer to contribute to our ongoing success and development.

This unique opportunity involves maintaining and developing our in-house software framework, PropCalc, consisting of about 80 programs. PropCalc is mainly written in C++ and Fortran, interfacing with third-party programs and databases. It integrates user-friendly tools for sales, design, and engineering of ship propulsion products, improving efficiency, performance, and quality.

You will join a dedicated and solution-oriented team where you will face situations with no obvious answers or solutions, challenging your creativity and problem-solving skills. It is essential that you contribute analytically, precisely, and creatively without losing focus on delivery.

As an Algorithms Developer, your work will range from straightforward bug fixing to developing new tools and functionalities based on the organization's needs. You will also be involved in various strategic projects and research activities, including the development of hydrodynamic simulation techniques, new propulsion technologies, AI/ML applications and optimization.

What we think you should have

We are seeking a candidate with a university degree in engineering or a related field, with a talent for product development, navigating complex systems and understanding user behaviors. Proficiency in applying mathematical and statistical methods is advantageous. Additionally, experience in applied mathematics, C++/MFC, hydrodynamics, databases, and CFD/FEM is highly desirable. Preferably, you have experience with AI and ML modeling, including data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model training.

Kongsberg is an international company, where English is the primary language. Hence, proficiency in English, both spoken and written, is required. You will collaborate both internally and externally, globally, with interfaces to other sites and teams within Kongsberg, as well as universities, joint industry projects, subcontractors, suppliers, and research organizations. Thus, some travel will be required, mainly to our internal stakeholders globally.

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 ambition is to fill the position as soon as possible, selection and interviews may therefore begin during the application period. For this position we work with personality and ability tests, which may be sent to you if you proceed in the process.

Since we are a company working with customers in the Naval segment, questions related to citizenship will be part of the selection process. Additionally, we conduct background checks on all employment positions.

Why join us

• An exciting and important position working for the world-leading supplier of maritime solutions
• Be part of a diverse team spread across several countries, embracing collaboration and cultural diversity.
• We offer flexible working hours and the option to work remote or from home office.
