About Zenitel

Zenitel is a Norwegian technology company with over 100 years of history. We develop communication products for professional users in high-risk locations such as ships, schools, office buildings, trains and offshore installations. Our products include, among other things, complete solutions for voice communication, voice broadcasting and alarms. We are more than 440 employees in offices in 16 countries and deliver products and solutions to international customers on all continents. The head office and corporate management are in Oslo and Horten.

We are now looking for a Development Engineer, and the place of work for this position is Horten or Oslo. 

About you

You are a trained engineer at bachelor's or master's level in design or mechanics, or can demonstrate solid relevant work experience. You have broad knowledge in design, construction, materials and production processes. You are enthusiastic, curious and interested in the subject. We would just as like to hear from you who come straight from school as from you who have been in working life for a few years.

You are engaged by good solutions, and do not give up until you have arrived at a result that is both of technically good quality and that delivers the necessary result for the project. You are a highly skilled 3D designer, but are comfortable in a workshop and are happy to build a prototype if that is the best way to solve the problem in question.

You are skilled at idea and concept development. From sketches to prototypes. You have a keen eye for detail, but don't lose track of the big picture. You can deliver quick iterations to solve specific work tasks, but also think holistically and see how solutions are connected across products and product lines.

You are well versed in design for production and production processes and can actively participate in discussions with manufacturers to find the optimal balance between good products and efficient production.

You are curious about new technology and interested in how good technical solutions can help create better products. And you dare to question established truths and practices.

You know that behind every quality product lies a thorough design process that takes into account all stages from the end user all the way back to the manufacturing company. And that "who will buy the product", "who will use it", "what problem it will solve" and "how it will be produced" are just some of very many questions in a process that together determine the quality of the design.

You collaborate well with others, can work independently with demanding tasks, see what needs to be done, take responsibility for deliveries and can be creative even within established frameworks and routines.

We have English as our working language, and to succeed in this position, you must be fluent in written and spoken English.

About us

Our design team is located at our offices in Horten and Torshov in Oslo. Today, the team consists of 12 employees divided into designers and engineers in mechanics and electronics. We work both with further development of existing products and new development of completely new solutions. We design every part of our products ourselves – electronics, software, user interfaces and mechanics – and can therefore shape the entire user experience from start to finish. We believe this makes it extra exciting – and quite unique – to work with us!

We have our own prototype and test lab and manufacture our products in Europe. For 3D construction, we use Creo.

What can we offer you?

• Interesting, varied and challenging tasks
• A good working environment in central premises
• Good colleagues with a lot of knowledge and experience
• Good pension and insurance schemes
• Exercise and health schemes
• Free phone and internet
• Company cabin at Norefjell

What influence will you have?

With us, you will be responsible for specific deliveries within design and construction. You will be involved in shaping Zenitel's future products, and influence the choice of tools and methods for product development. Your work will be an important part of the success of our future products and services, while at the same time you will work in a company characterized by innovation and collaboration. We want to deliver products that simplify people's everyday lives and that ultimately can help save lives. In this way, create value for both our customers and society.
