Engineering Manager

About Kongsberg Geospatial

Kongsberg Geospatial does challenging work that matters. We are an industry leading software company that has been delivering real-time geospatial technology solutions for Defence and Aerospace applications worldwide for over 30 years.

Since 2006, we have been a wholly owned subsidiary of Kongsberg Defence& Aerospace in Norway and we are an integral part of many key programs here. Externally, our technology is relied upon and trusted for a wide range of applications including air defense, search and rescue, drone delivery systems, and autonomous vehicle tracking. Our team members make a real impact in people's lives.

What we’re looking for

Are you a software professional that enjoys creating solutions that customers love? Do you thrive on seeing projects from concept to delivery? Do you like working in smaller teams and seeing the entire solution?

We are seeking a dynamic Engineering Manager to lead one of our growing teams tasked with developing next generation situational awareness and unmanned systems control software.  You will be responsible for a team of software developers and lead them in multiple concurrent projects, both as services deliveries for our customers and internal product development.

This is a hybrid position working out of our Ottawa, Ontario office.

What You’ll Create

We develop systems that integrate complex sensor interfaces, data, and equipment. We tie it all together using an assortment of middleware technologies and present it using innovative modern graphical user interfaces.  Our user experiences provide application operators visualization of geospatial map and terrain data, imagery, video feeds, and sensor controls overlaid with real time data.

Operators interact with our systems using many platforms including tablets, laptops, consoles, video walls and specialized military and air traffic control workstations. Each of our systems is as unique as our customers; however, they all share a critical need to display and act on real-time geographic data.
