Job Summary
Advanced Systems Engineer sought to drive and technically anchor technical proposals in Air & Land Projects within R&D. You will collaborate with Senior Systems Engineers and Solution Architects to build robust technical baselines for international proposals, progress from supporting bids to independently leading multi-disciplinary proposals, and integrate complex electronic warfare hardware, software, and sensors (e.g., Radar Warning Receivers, Missile Warning, Laser Warning) with related actuation and dispenser systems. The role requires risk and estimation management, and a capacity to translate customer needs into mature engineering concepts across EW portfolios, with a growing ownership of proposals from inception to delivery. Fluent English is required; Danish is an advantage. The position is based on Terma’s international environment and includes ongoing professional development, cross-functional collaboration, and a focus on secure, high-technology defense solutions.
