Are you systematic, and do you enjoy structures and complex technical systems?

Missiles and Aerostructures/DMA is experiencing formidable growth and expansion with an international footprint in both Supply Chain, production, as well as development and delivery projects. A new production facility has been established in Kongsberg, and new production facilities, with their local value chains, are also being planned globally. At the same time, next-generation missile systems are being developed. CM is therefore strengthening the organization for Configuration Management. We are seeking service-oriented Configuration Management (CM) Engineers for our location in Kongsberg.

Your role:

As a CM Engineer, you will be a central contributor to ensuring control and structure throughout the entire product lifecycle. From development to production and delivery. You will work closely with system architects, projects, and production environments, and contribute to ensuring that our technical data and product structures are correct, traceable, and in accordance with requirements.

Configuration Management shall contribute to flow and progress. CM supports the organization with advice and guidance in accordance with current requirements, standards, and processes.

You will therefore have an important role in:

• Building trust across professional environments
• Contributing to good and efficient work processes
• Facilitating correct execution in various job packages
• Contributing to solutions that work in practice, not just in theory.
• Finding solutions that safeguard both quality and tempo
• Ensuring that we lubricate the system—not brake it.

You will help create flow, reduce friction, and make it easier to do a good job.

Tasks:

• Product Data Management: Responsibility for release of product structure, product baseline, data package control
• Establish and maintain part and document structures in collaboration with Engineering.
• Prepare and follow up on CM plans in projects.
• Planning and execution of Configuration Control Board (CCB)
• Reporting to customers and internal stakeholders.
• Advisory function for design, ILS, production, and procurement environments
• Audit participation and execution (both internal and external audits)
• Contribute to the division's improvement projects and further development of methods and tools within CM
• Analysis of CM related data, trends, and reporting of CM related issues
• Act as an advisor within CM for development, production, and procurement.

Qualifications:

• Technical education at Bachelor or Master level, for example Systems Engineering
• Preferably competence or experience within configuration management and/or development of product structures
• Good English skills, oral and written

Who are you:

We believe our new colleague is genuinely service-oriented and concerned with making others' everyday work easier. You quickly build trust across professional environments, communicate clearly and respectfully, and are able to understand different needs to find good, common solutions. Furthermore, you work in a structured manner and are precise, but at the same time pragmatic and solution-oriented. With a high degree of independence and execution power, you take responsibility, create progress, and ensure results. You are motivated by improving the interaction between people and systems, and you balance requirements for compliance with efficient and appropriate solutions.

We offer:

• A good working environment with opportunities for professional and personal development
• Interesting and exciting tasks in a high-tech environment
• Good career and development opportunities in an international company
• Competitive terms, pension, and insurance schemes
• Good welfare schemes with an in-house gym, cabin rentals, and much more
