• Cybernetics / Software Development – motion guidance, navigation, control systems, and development in C++ and C#/.NET. 

• Embedded Software – C/C++ development for ARM-based microcontrollers (e.g., STM32), communication protocols, and integration with topside systems. 

• Electronics / Hardware – electronics and PCB design, system architecture, serial communication, and EMC design and testing. 

You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team of software, electronics, and mechanical engineers to ensure robust and efficient solutions for subsea applications. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Design and develop systems and components for advanced subsea ROVs. 

• Develop and maintain software in C++ and C#/.NET, and embedded software for ARM-based microcontrollers. 

• Contribute to the development of autonomous features and integration of relevant tools. 

• Implement and optimize communication protocols and ensure seamless integration with topside control systems. 

• Design and develop electronics and PCBs, including schematic and layout design. 

• Plan, perform, and verify electronics design, including EMC testing. 

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams during design, test, and validation phases. 

• Prepare and maintain technical documentation. 

• Collaborate with production and support teams during ROV testing and in customer support. 

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of our engineering processes. 

Qualifications & Experience 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Cybernetics, Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. Relevant experience may compensate for formal education. 

• Strong problem-solving skills, open-mindedness, and the ability to work in a multidisciplinary engineering environment. 

• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team, and to handle multiple projects in parallel. 

• Genuine interest in technology and innovation, with curiosity to explore new solutions. 

• Fluent in Norwegian and English, both verbally and in writing. 

• Must be eligible for Norwegian security clearance at the level of Konfidensielt / NATO Confidential if required. 

• Bonus: Experience from the subsea industry. 

Experience in one or more of the following areas: 

• Marine vessel control, C++ and C#/.NET software development. Knowledge of autonomy frameworks and tools, and their application in robotics or subsea systems, is an advantage. 

• Embedded C/C++ development for ARM-based microcontrollers (preferably STM32). Knowledge of power electronics, electric motors, or motor controllers is an advantage. 

• Electronics and PCB design (preferably with Altium Designer), serial communication, and EMC design practices. Knowledge of power electronics, electric motors, or motor controllers is an advantage. 

Why Join Us? 

• Be part of a company with over 30 years of experience in producing advanced electric ROV systems and leading the development of autonomous and smart ROV systems. 

• Work with a team of passionate and skilled professionals. 

• Challenging and impactful projects: Solve real-world engineering problems in harsh underwater environments. 

• We offer a competitive salary along with a comprehensive pension and insurance package, which includes travel coverage and healthcare benefits.
