Propeller Blade designer

Are you looking for an exciting position in the marine business where you can use your interest in complex product design, CFD and programming?

Kongsberg Maritime is currently looking for a solution driven Propeller Blade designer, to join our experienced Propulsion Hydrodynamics team in the Hydrodynamics Department. This is a unique opportunity to work in an environment where there are no given answers and solutions and where your creativity and problem-solving ability are put to test. Our collaboration with the research community ensures that we are at the forefront of the technical development.

As Propeller Blade designer you will be working in close collaboration with our customers and focus on transforming their requirements into efficient solutions. To develop and adapt the design of the propeller and rudder based on our customer’s needs, you are analysing product performance by using a combination of both CFD and model testing. We have our own unique testing facility where we perform model-scale testing in cavitation tunnels. This gives us the opportunity to deliver custom made products based on our customers’ expectations for the specific vessel.

By testing and evaluating technical solutions in our on-site cavitation tunnels, we have a unique opportunity to deliver cutting edge solutions to our customers. Our collaboration with research communities ensures that we are at the forefront of the technical development. You will have the opportunity to deliver and lead high quality hydrodynamic research projects on time and to budget.

In this role, you will ensure the quality of your work is exemplary and actively work to continuously improve the group’s methods and processes.

What we can offer

We offer an inspiring and safe work environment and the possibility to work with sustainable and exciting solutions for the future. A position with a wide range of challenging work tasks, opportunities to make a real difference and develop on a technical and personal level. You will have the opportunity to work with a unique product at a world leading supplier of maritime solutions. You will work in an international environment and in multidisciplinary team collaboration where some travelling can be part of your work. We can offer flexible working hours and the option to work partly remote based on your work tasks.

Qualifications and experience

We believe that you have a genuine interest in boats, ships and the marine environment. You hold a masters’ degree in mathematics, engineering physics, Naval Architecture or equivalent. Due to the nature of an international customer and supplier base, high level of English, both written and speaking, is important. Communication skills in other languages are considered an advantage.

We appreciate your ability to act on own initiative and make things happen in a methodical and systematic approach. You should be able to analyze complex issues and deep dive into technical problem solving without losing focus on delivery. Teamwork is key to succeed in position, we therefore highly appreciate your ability to co-operate well with others, share knowledge, experience, information and support others in the pursuit of team goals.

Kongsberg works with customers from both the commercial and naval market segments.

In this role, you will work with classified materials. Security clearance and export control are both required for this position, therefore questions related to citizenship will be part of the selection process.

Last day to apply 2024-10-20

Our ambition is to fill the position as soon as possible; selection and interviews may begin during the application period.

For this position, we work with personality and ability tests, which may be sent to you if you proceed in the process.
