JOB DESCRIPTION

About the team

Within the Engineering cluster the software engineering department is responsible for the development of combat and information management systems for navy ships, integration with sensor- and weapon systems as well as the development of sensor processing applications. These complex systems are used world-wide by selected partners to protect and because we believe every person on this earth has the right to be safe.

About your future job

As a Software Platform engineer you will work in multidisciplinary Agile teams.
