We are facing an exciting future with considerable growth and demanding changes. We continue to evolve our advanced technologies and mission critical solutions for the defense and aerospace industry to deliver real-world solutions that matter to the security of people on land, at sea, in the air and in space. Therefore, we are looking for a Test Systems Manager to become part of this journey and contribute to our overall purpose – securing people through advanced technology.

Your role as part of the team

As our new Test Systems Manager, you will play a central role in ensuring the successful development, production, and verification of test systems that support the delivery of advanced space electronics. The majority of your time will be focused on the technical leadership and design of our test systems, while the remainder of the time will be dedicated to people leadership and team development.

In our team we take pride in developing people and technology. You will become part of a collaborative and informal environment across our locations in Lystrup and Søborg, where around 45–55 engineers, technicians, and physicists work together on the development and testing of space electronics. The team brings together a broad range of experience, from newly graduated professionals to senior specialists, creating excellent opportunities for learning, knowledge sharing, and professional growth. We care about the work we do and the people behind it.

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of engineers and technicians, setting clear priorities and ensuring alignment around shared objectives
• Drive continuous improvement of test systems and team performance through process optimization, training initiatives, and new tools and technologies
• Manage team resources, including hiring and allocation in collaboration with Project Managers and the Department Manager, while building strong stakeholder relationships and conducting key people management activities in line with the HR annual wheel.

• A degree in Electronics Engineering or a similar relevant engineering discipline
• Experience working with hardware and software test systems in a development, production, or verification environment
• People management experience, including coaching, performance development, and team leadership
• Strong collaboration and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build alignment across teams and functions
• A structured, quality-focused, and self-driven approach combined with strong communication skills.

Most importantly, we believe diverse experiences add value to our team and organization. Therefore, we encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all the above requirements.
