Embedded Systems 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 Embedded Systems 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.

What we bring to the table At Nofence, we're not your typical 9-to-5 gig.

We're a dynamic scale-up, creating a work atmosphere that's anything but ordinary.

It's a place where dedication and innovation are the norm, offering great opportunities for your personal and professional growth.

We believe in seeing results fast.

As an engineer with us, your work won't be lost in the bureaucratic shuffle.

You'll witness the immediate impact of your contributions in real-time, influencing the evolution of our cutting-edge virtual fencing solution for livestock.

Join us, where ambition meets reality, and let's keep pushing the boundaries in the world of agri-tech!
