Are you looking for an exciting position in the marine business where you can use your interest in complex product design, CFD and programming? Kongsberg Maritime in Kristinehamn, Sweden, can now offer you an interesting position as Propeller blade designer to join the Propulsion Hydrodynamics team at our Hydrodynamic Research Centre. This is a unique opportunity to work in an environment where there are no given answers and solutions and where your creativity and problem solving ability are put to test. Our collaboration with the research community ensures that we are at the forefront of the technical development.

As Propeller blade designer you will be working in close collaboration with our customers and focus on transforming their requirements into efficient solutions. To develop and adapt the design of the propeller and rudder based on our customer’s needs, you are analysing product performance by using a combination of both CFD and model testing. We have our own unique testing facility where we perform model-scale testing in cavitation tunnels. This gives us the opportunity to deliver custom made products based on our customers’ expectations for the specific vessel.

What we can offer

We offer an inspiring and safe work environment and the possibility to work with sustainable and exciting solutions for the future. A position with a wide range of challenging work tasks, opportunities to make a real difference and develop on a technical and personal level.

We can offer flexible working hours and the option to work partly remote based on your work tasks.

Qualifications and experience

Due to the nature of an international customer and supplier base, high level of English, both written and speaking, is important. Communication skills in other languages is considered an advantage.

We appreciate your ability to act on own initiative and make things happen in a methodical and systematic approach. You should be able to analyze complex issues and deep dive into technical problem solving without losing focus on delivery. Teamwork is key to succeed in position, we therefore highly appreciate your ability to co-operate well with others, share knowledge, experience, information and support others in the pursuit of team goals.
