Technical Sales Support, Hydrodynamics

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a driven engineer to work in a combined role within Kongsberg Maritime’s hydrodynamic technical sales support and design. As a valued team member is moving internally, we are open to hiring either an experienced engineer or recent Master’s graduate. If you’re new to hydrodynamics – don’t worry! We will provide you with the relevant training needed to succeed in this role.

As Technical Sales Support, you will be part of our Global Customer Support division, working with upgrades of existing customer products. You will have a close and effective collaboration with aftermarket sales function and the team of experts in our Hydrodynamic Research Center to create the best upgrading proposals and designs. You communicate this solution to the customer and motivate how we can translate their needs into the most efficient product upgrade, for example to reduce their fuel consumption. In this role, you will work with all products in our range, consisting of propeller, waterjet, POD and rudder, and customize the solution based on the specific vessel’s needs.

You are the one who is driving and creating the hydrodynamic design in our in-house developed software PropCalc, which is our tool used for sales, design and engineering of ship propulsion equipment. Through simulation and testing in our own laboratory, we have a unique opportunity to deliver high-end products with the right effect, power and quality. In this role, you will develop a deep understanding how our propulsion systems integrate and works in different vessels and applications. Through this experience and expertise, you will contribute to product development, research and business intelligence to understand our customers' future needs.

What we can offer

We offer an inspiring and safe work environment in a position with a wide range of challenging work tasks with the opportunities to make a real difference and develop on a personal level. We work with unique products at a world leading supplier of maritime solutions in an international environment where some travelling can be part of your work based on interest and project. We can offer flexible working hours and the option to work partly remote based on your work tasks.

Qualifications and experience

At KONGSBERG, we believe that diversity fuels innovation. We encourage you to apply, even if you do not meet every requirement. Research shows that women and minority groups are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. Your unique perspective is valuable to us. Your skills, attitude and perspective could be exactly what we are looking for!

You have a Master’s degree in mathematics, mechanical engineering, engineering physics, Naval Architecture or equivalent. Knowledge in fluid mechanics, CAD and numerical simulation (CFD) is seen as positive, but not a requirement. An interest in sales processes and a commercial mindset contributes to learn and understand how to work with quotations and costing. In our global organization high level of English, both written and spoken, is important. Communication skills in other languages is considered an advantage.

We appreciate your ability to act on own initiative and analyze complex issues and problems to come up with rational judgments. In this position collaboration is key to succeed, therefore we value your personal characteristics highly and your ability to co-operate well with others, communicate clearly, share knowledge, and support your colleagues in the pursuit of team goals.
