Laerdal Medical is an international market leader in training and therapy products for emergency medicine and critical care. Our products and services are used by hospitals, ambulance services, first aid organizations, educational institutions and others around the world. We are a dynamic and energetic organization consisting of people from a wide variety of cultures and backgrounds. By 2030, we have a goal of helping save 1.000.000 more lives. Every year.

As a Cybernetics & Robotics Engineer, you will be part of a team developing and improving our advanced patient-simulator products. The simulators are closely related to humanoid robots and are equipped with sensors and actuators that mimic human behavior and physiological responses such as breathing, blinking, moving, talking and much more.  

You will work in a cross-functional team and collaborate closely with fellow Cybernetics & Robotics Engineers as well as mechanical-, firmware- and electronics engineers, designers, and product leadership at our facilities in Stavanger. You will have access to well-equipped electronics labs, mechanical workshops, 3D printers, a state-of-the-art test laboratory, and other tools that support prototyping and product development. 

Some of what you will be doing  

• Develop advanced control systems

• Design, implement and maintain parts, systems and components in Laerdal’s manikins
