Are you a proactive and collaborative engineer who is passionate about working with underwater navigation technology?

What will your role and tasks be with us?

You will have the responsibility for helping Nortek customers understand our unique underwater navigation technology, and ultimately become a specialist helping internal personnel as well as end users. You will work with a team of professional and competent colleagues to help guide customers through their technical questions and provide advice during their design, development, integration and testing phases. In a parallel effort you will provide back-office support to Nortek’s global sales network. You may also be involved with internal testing in the field and at the Nortek facilities.

You will have an important role in our dynamic and multidisciplinary environment. Together with skilled colleagues from our sales, development, and support teams, you will help to ensure that our subsea navigation solutions meet new and existing customers' needs and thus create growth across all market segments. The growth potential in subsea navigation is significant, and your competence will be central to helping us achieve our goals.

• 
  System integration: Help clients integrate software solutions, and ensure they meet their specific needs.
• 
  Product development collaboration: Occasionally cooperate with the development team to contribute to the design, development, and specification of both new and existing products.

Desired qualifications:

• 
  Educational background: Bachelor’s degree or higher in a relevant field. Relevant work experience may compensate for the lack of formal education.
• 
  Industry experience: Experience in a related industry, particularly with customer interaction, is preferred.

  Technical proficiency: Familiarity with subsea or underwater navigation technologies and an ability to troubleshoot technical issues.
• 
  Problem-solving skills: Ability to analyze data and technical challenges to provide efficient solutions for customer needs.
• 
  Language proficiency: Fluent in both written and spoken English.

While it is an advantage if you have experience in both subsea navigation and customer support, we also welcome applications from those early in their careers.

Personal attributes:

• 
  Self-motivated & goal-oriented: You work independently, remain focused on goals, and strive for precision in your work.
• 
  Technical acumen: You have a good understanding of technical concepts and can apply this knowledge effectively.
• 
  Strong communication skills: You communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing.
• 
  Collaborative: You work well with others, contributing to a positive team environment.
