Electronics Engineer

Nofence is a Norwegian scale-up that has built the world’s first virtual fencing solution for livestock. As we aim to revolutionise livestock management, we will need top-notch competence in our Engineering team, and we are now looking for an Electronics Engineer. The product is small, solar-assisted and combines GNSS, LTE, Bluetooth, and many other technologies, so every design decision is a system integration problem. Join the NPD team that takes it from concept to pilot production.

About Nofence

Nofence Managing livestock has always been a challenge.

Humanity has tried everything from herding with dogs to walling the animals in with barbed wire, electric, and wooden fences, but these are costly and time-consuming solutions and often in conflict with the local wildlife.

It has also left vast areas of potential pasture overgrown and underutilized.

Until now.

Enter virtual fences.

What started as a small group of farmers and engineers with a big idea has become Nofence – the world’s first virtual fencing solution for livestock.
