Are you an engineer who wants to contribute to the development of future defense and aerospace technology while taking a master's degree? We offer you the opportunity to combine a job with us with a master's degree in Systems Engineering at the University of Southeast Norway (USN).

Who we are

Nammo Raufoss is an international industrial company that develops and delivers high-tech defense and aerospace products. We are experiencing strong growth in demand for our products and services, and have a number of exciting projects underway. That's why we want to strengthen our Systems Engineering team.

What is the Systems Engineering program?

Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary master's degree focusing on how to design and manage complex technical and administrative systems and processes throughout their lifecycle. It is a tool for rapid transfer of knowledge into competitive products, systems and services.

The master's degree program at USN takes three years, and you will be employed in a 50% position in Nammo during this period. You develop through studying and working as an engineer in parallel with your studies, and you gain both technical and personal skills that are valuable for your future career.

What do you do in the job?

Systems engineers in Nammo's development projects and production programs have the technical responsibility for ensuring that our products meet customer requirements and needs. The role suits those who thrive on a holistic perspective, but at the same time are able to see which details are important and get people talking to each other.

With us, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with national and international companies and institutions, as well as suppliers and customers. You will contribute to the development of advanced solutions that form the basis for future defense and aerospace technology.

As an industrial master's student, you will initially support the projects of our existing systems engineers, but as you develop, you will also be responsible for the systems role in your own projects.

Your main tasks in Nammo while studying:

• Management and coordination of the technical project work

• Support for the technical manager in one or more development projects and/or production programs (as you learn and develop, you will become the technical manager and main system resource in one or more projects)

• Communication with customers and partners

• Preparation of technical documentation

• Systematic work with product requirements and requirements decomposition

• Ensuring that good product solutions are chosen

How the program is structured

The master's program consists of systems engineering subjects and in-depth subjects. The area you choose to specialize in depends on your academic background. The master's degree is taken over three years, and you work 50% and study 50%. The percentage may vary somewhat throughout the course of study.

The program is structured with collection-based teaching. This means that each course is carried out over a full week at the Kongsberg campus, and that you can easily combine studying in Kongsberg with working at Raufoss.
