Are you passionate about defining and realizing complex technical systems? Do you thrive at the intersection of architecture, development, integration, and validation? Do you want to play a key role in shaping the technical foundation of Kamstrup’s next generation of smart metering solutions?

Here Is What The Job Entails

In the role as our next Lead Systems Engineer, your job will be to drive the technical definition and realization of complex smart metering solutions across hardware, firmware, connectivity, and cloud domains, ensuring robust and verifiable solutions throughout the product lifecycle.

You will act as a key technical authority between architecture and implementation, governing the system's perspective across disciplines and ensuring that system requirements, interfaces, integration, and validation are aligned from concept to deployment.

More specifically you will be:

• Defining and maintaining system requirements, system behaviour, and technical specifications.
• Leading technical alignment across hardware, firmware, software, connectivity, and cloud domains.
• Driving system integration and supporting cross disciplinary troubleshooting.
• Ensuring traceability between requirements, design, verification, and validation activities.
• Playing a central role in technical reviews, risk assessments, and critical engineering decisions.

You will experience the opportunity to join a growing Systems Engineering capability and help shape how future smart metering solutions are developed at Kamstrup. Therefore, you will work with advanced connectivity and Internet of Things technologies while collaborating closely with Solution Architects, developers, and product teams. This is a highly visible technical role with significant influence on product direction, engineering excellence, and the future development of the Systems Engineering discipline.

Meet your future team

With direct references to the Director of Connectivity, you will become part of the Solutions Architects team within the Water Division. Together with colleagues in Connectivity Development and Connectivity Technology, the team is responsible for defining the solution foundations that enable smart metering products across the Kamstrup portfolio. In the team you will experience an informal and collaborative environment characterized by technical excellence, strong knowledge sharing, and a shared ambition to continuously improve the way we develop products and solutions.

Did you know? Our teams bring together specialists within architecture, connectivity, embedded systems, and product development, creating a unique environment where complex technical challenges are solved through close collaboration across disciplines.

Less About Us, More About You

We are looking for an experienced Systems Engineer with a proven track record of delivering complex technical solutions in multidisciplinary environments.
