Do you enjoy working with managing complexity on Airborne solutions? Does it motivate you to deliver innovative high-tech products that secure people in the defense sector, and do you want to be part of a team with a high passion for driving technology solutions and commitment to delivering the highest quality? Then we have the job for you

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.
In our Self Protection Systems (SPS) organization, we are very busy with several new and extremely exciting projects. Therefore, we are looking for two Systems Engineers 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 Lead System Engineer, your primary responsibility will be to drive technical projects from the requirement stage all the way to product delivery.
The projects which you will lead within the SPS organization have a very broad nature, in the sense that we are working with mechanical, electronics and software disciplines and to a large extent the integration of these to become a final product, plus the integration of the product into our customers Airborne solutions.

Working as a System Engineer at Terma means that you will work with the entire value chain, from understanding customer requirements to integration of solutions at the customer.

You will have a wide range of interfaces and close cooperation with other project participants, counting among other Systems, Mechanical, Electronics & Software Engineers, Testers, and Project Managers for the entire project. While you work, you will gain increasing responsibility for the overall product functionality and performance.

How you will make a meaningful contribution

Your key responsibilities include:

• Understanding the situation of a customer and their needs and requirements, as well as the written and verbal communication, enabling you to transform this knowledge into a technical solution
• Responsible for the verification and validation of the complete solution in cooperation with the developing engineers and test engineers
• To be an important sparring partner for your colleagues in and outside the team
• Participating in test activities necessary to ensure system and project delivery – including tests at the customer site
• Participating in team alignment events like planning, refinement, retrospective, and review/demo
• Spare and share knowledge with your fellow systems engineers in the SPS area

Bring your world class expertise into play

As we are looking for two candidates within this area, we are looking to hire different profiles, both junior and senior, and are very open to different relevant educational backgrounds and experiences. Common for all is that we need competencies within the broad area of system engineering or similar experience. The most important is that you have both drive and motivation for learning and developing within this field. Moreover, we are also looking for a new colleague who possesses:

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Mechanical, Electronics, or Software Engineering
• Experience with system development, preferably systems engineering
• Experience in project management, ideally with a technical background
• Experience developing systems containing both software and hardware/electrical components
• Involvement in NATO or EU defense projects
• The ability to work across different layers of technical abstraction, from components to full systems
• Strong skills in decomposing complex problems and systems into manageable segments
• Good understanding and experience within the different design phases represented in the V-model

As a person, you are great at stakeholder management, you can navigate in an interdisciplinary environment, and you thrive in taking responsibility for the progress and results of the technical part of a development project. Furthermore, you are a team player and take pride in communicating actively and acting proactively towards your teammates and stakeholders. Your great communication skills also enable you to communicate technical information on different levels. Finally, you approach problem solving in a structured, analytical, and data driven way.
