Do you want to work with technology that makes a real difference? Now is your chance to become part of a company that develops and integrates advanced communication and command systems for ground forces. Here you will work close to the end-user in complex environments where robust network solutions are crucial for operational success.
We are looking for you who want to work as a Network Engineer with both laboratory and field work.
About the role
We are now looking for several network engineers who want to be part of building a new business area focused on total deliveries within communication and networking. You will become part of a team of approximately 15 people where you together are responsible for ensuring that critical systems function in real-world environments.
In the role, you work with designing, configuring, and troubleshooting network solutions that enable stable communication between different systems and platforms. The systems are used to create a common situational awareness in real-time, enable command in the field, and ensure information sharing between units. You work both in a lab environment and out in the field with the customer, where the systems are used operationally.
Examples of tasks:
- Installation, configuration, and operation of networks in complex IT and communication environments
- Troubleshooting in networks, transmission, and system integration (LAN/WAN, radio, IP-based communication)

Your profile
To succeed in the role, we believe you are an independent problem solver who thrives in an environment where not all answers are ready-made. You like to take on complex challenges and drive your work forward in a structured and methodical way. You have previously worked in technically demanding environments and maintain your composure even when conditions change or the pace increases. You thrive in a role where you get to work with and understand the entire system and manage the process from start to finish. Since you work closely with both colleagues and customers, you are also a communicative team player. You can adapt your communication to the recipient and build trust through collaboration and professionalism.
Finally, you are driven by curiosity and a desire to understand how systems work – both technically and in real-world use.
Requirements for the position:
- A few years of work experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Networking (prior knowledge in system architecture, routing, transmission, data centers, building data networks)
- Programming, worked with scripting languages (e.g., Bash, Python, Bat, PowerShell), applied configurations that should work in Windows/Linux environments
