Testnor

Tromsø

Are you passionate about cutting-edge technology and want to make a real impact? We're looking for talented individuals with backgrounds in drone, space, defence or similar industries to join our growing team. If you're driven by novel technology and inspired by a meaningful mission, we want to hear from you.
About us
Testnor is a technology company aiming to build technological robustness and resilience through testing. We are expanding our team to meet the global demand for testing of advanced and innovative technologies for operations in some of the world’s most challenging environments -- the Arctic.
With support from the Norwegian Space Agency and European Space Agency, Testnor develops novel services and digital product to ensure that mission-critical technologies --- in transportation, aerospace, defence, autonomy, and more --- can perform reliably under demanding and extreme conditions. The services we are building are highly requested from some of the world’s leading technology companies, government agencies, and international research institutions.
Why this work matters
In today’s increasingly connected and unpredictable world, resilient communication, navigation, and sensing technologies are essential for civilian safety and coordination. Natural disasters, cyberattacks, and electromagnetic interference can disrupt critical systems, threatening emergency response, healthcare, transportation, and everyday life.
We operate in a dynamic and rapidly evolving market, and our customers develop and apply novel and disruptive technologies---such as quantum computing, advanced AI-driven systems, and cutting-edge communication---where rigorous validation and assessment are essential to ensure reliability, security, and real-world performance in complex and challenging environments.
We are seeking engineers with experience from one or more of the following areas:
· Wireless communication technologies and spectrum management (e.g., software-defined radios, mesh networks, interference mitigation)
· Cybersecurity and secure data transmission (e.g. quantum-safe cryptography and zero-trust architectures)
· Advanced communication systems
· Resilient sensing and navigation systems
· AI and data analytics for real-time network optimization and automated system reconfiguration
· System integration, testing, and validation under challenging or contested operational conditions
· Arctic autonomous operations
With us, you will be given the opportunity to
· Build something entirely new and important --- from idea to implementation
· Develop test scenarios and procedures for open air testing
· Design virtual test environments and analysis tools
· Build technology to help our customers in planning, execution and analysis of tests
· Work in interdisciplinary teams with significant influence on direction and decisions
· Collaborate with some of the most advanced tech ecosystems in Norway and Europe
We offer competitive terms, flexible working arrangements, insurance, and opportunities for ownership.
Application deadline: 5th of August, however we’ll process applications as they come in, so there’s no need to wait.
Send us a short application and your CV --- and feel free to contact us for an informal chat.
