Sr. Test Engineer

The world’s largest high‑voltage laboratory is searching for a new Senior Test Engineer!

Do you have several years of experience from a testing environment and/or power engineering and want to contribute to the green transition? Then this might be the right opportunity for you!

In this role, you will help our customers connect to a greener world – whether that means securing power from a floating wind farm or a large‑scale solar park.

Drive NKT’s global testing development and ensure future excellence

In our test laboratories, the largest AC & DC electrical test labs in Northern Europe, you will take on a senior technical role. You will support both our installation teams and external customers in identifying failures in cable systems across the globe. Travel is required approximately 5–10 times per year.

Your primary responsibilities:

• Be a part of Testing Technology fault-location preparedness team
• Perform advanced hardware testing on cable systems at our plant in Karlskrona as well as at external sites
• Develop NKT’s competence within testing technologies
• Ensure continuous improvement in testing quality and testing‑technology productivity

You will be a part of a highly skilled team, based in Karlskrona in the southern part of Sweden. In Karlskrona, besides our test lab, we have a modern manufacturing facility for manufacturing high voltage and extra high-voltage power cables, as well as our cable‑laying vessel Victoria.

Engaged and experienced Test Engineer

We are looking for an engaged Senior Test Engineer who, together with the rest of the team, leads the execution with a technical engineering focus. Your problem‑solving capabilities and creative mindset will be key to your success. You thrive in a role with a high level of collaboration, both internally and externally, and your communication skills are characterized by clarity.

Your qualifications:

• 5–7 years of experience from a testing environment and/or power engineering, or other relevant experience
