Defense, maritime, and energy systems manufacturer with 200+ years of industrial heritage
Kongsberg is a 10,000+ person industrial corporation headquartered in Norway, operating across defense, maritime, oil & gas, and space sectors. The tech stack—C++, Python, MATLAB, SysML, MagicDraw, SolidWorks, FPGA, MBSE—reflects deep systems engineering and embedded hardware design competencies. Current hiring velocity is accelerating, concentrated in engineering roles across Spain and the UK, with active development on missiles (NSM, JSM, 3SM), remote tower control systems, and production scaling — suggesting heavy investment in autonomy, defense platforms, and manufacturing capacity expansion.
Kongsberg designs and manufactures systems and platforms for maritime, defense, aerospace, energy exploration, and space applications. The company operates globally with strong Norwegian roots, serving government and commercial customers in strategic sectors including naval defense, merchant marine, offshore exploration, and satellite systems. Core operational focus includes advanced weapon systems (naval strike and joint strike missiles), autonomous and remote-operated maritime technologies, subsea and offshore equipment, and digital solutions. The organization emphasizes systems integration, hardware-software co-design, and long-cycle government procurement workflows.
Primary tools include C++, Python, MATLAB, SysML, and MagicDraw for systems design; SolidWorks for CAD; FPGA and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) for embedded hardware; and ServiceNow for operations management.
Current projects include development of naval strike missile (NSM), joint strike missile (JSM), and supersonic strike missile (3SM) systems; 360-degree camera systems for remote tower control; target seeker development; and manufacturing scale-up and transition from prototype to series production.
