Autonomous Maritime Navigation Systems Engineer

Kongsberg; Trondheim; Híbrido; NOK 900.000 - 1.100.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

KONGSBERG Discovery in Trondheim is seeking a skilled engineer to develop robust positioning systems for marine navigation where GNSS is unavailable or compromised. You will work across sensor fusion, inertial navigation, radar positioning, and terrain referenced navigation, contributing from algorithms to field trials.

The role emphasizes real-time data fusion, simulations, and practical prototyping, with opportunities to impact Dynamic Positioning and autonomous vessel operations.

Formación

• Higher education in cybernetics, computer science or relevant technical field.
• A relevant technical background and a good foundation in areas such as estimation, signal processing, control systems, robotics, localization or sensor fusion.
• Experience from research, product development, software development or algorithm development in a relevant technical field.
• Experience with navigation, GNSS, inertial systems, radar, RF sensing, perception or SLAM is beneficial, but not required. We also welcome candidates with transferable experience and an interest in developing their competence in these areas.
• Programming experience in Python, C++ or similar languages. Experience with embedded systems, real time systems, simulation or robotics frameworks is an advantage.
• Experience from maritime operations, Dynamic Positioning, autonomous systems or other safety critical applications is an advantage.

Responsabilidades

• Develop concepts that provide reliable positioning when GNSS is unavailable or subject to interference.
• Investigate how maritime radar, passive RF sensing, and terrain models can support vessel positioning and DP reference systems.
• Develop real time sensor fusion systems using inertial navigation and complementary sensor data.
• Prototype and test solutions using simulations, recorded vessel data and field trials.
• Assess performance and improve robustness under realistic operating conditions.
