Job description

Would you like to work with complex systems, future defence technologies, and international collaboration? In this role, you will contribute to the design and development of advanced air-domain systems. Come and join us!

We are facing an exciting future with considerable growth and demanding changes, as we deliver advanced technologies and mission critical solutions for the defense and aerospace industry. Our systems provide security for people on land, at sea and in the air. Therefore, we are looking for an Advanced Systems Engineer to become part of this journey and contribute to our overall purpose – securing people through advanced technology.

Your role in our team

As our new Advanced Systems Engineer, you will contribute to the design and development of complex systems in the air domain as part of a collaborative European defense project.

In this role, you will use model-based systems engineering methods to support system architecture, requirements definition, mission-level objectives, modelling, simulation, analysis, and integration. You will help analyze system behavior, refine system performance, create technical documentation and visual representations, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders in design reviews and workshops.
You will work with both established and emerging technologies and have the opportunity to explore new solutions.

You will become part of a small but growing team dedicated to innovation-focused projects. The team works across departments and brings together expertise from different domains to solve complex challenges in a collaborative and research-oriented environment. You will join a supportive culture where knowledge sharing, curiosity, and hands‑on learning are valued.

How you will make a meaningful contribution

Your key responsibilities include:

• System Definition & Architecture: Support system-level analysis, requirements development, and architectural design. Mission level goals and measures of success.
• Integration & Coordination: Contribute to defining system interactions and performance considerations across multiple components and domains.
• Analysis & Modeling: Explore system behavior through modeling, simulation, and scenario-based analysis.
• Tools & Documentation: Develop and maintain models, documentation, and visual representations of system concepts.
• Collaboration: Participate in design discussions, reviews, and cross-team workshops with internal and external stakeholders.

Bring your world class expertise into play

You are fluent in English both in writing and verbal at a professional level. Danish is an advantage but not a requirement. Moreover, we are also looking for a new colleague with the following qualifications:

• You have PhD or Postdoctoral experience in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• Strong foundation in analytical and quantitative disciplines
