Heimdall Power is a growing Norwegian tech company established in 2016. With closer to 70 employees across Norway, Europe and the US we produce a Neuron, our sensor solution often reffered to as "magic ball", that exceptionally combines hardware, firmware and software into one product. The purpose of the Neuron is to bring greater awareness and intelligence to power grids — making them safer, smarter, and more responsive. Our solution strengthen the grid, the people who operate it, and everyone who depends on it.

We are a proud contributor to the world's green energy transition. Our unique offering combines software and sensors to increase capacity in existing power grids by up to 30%. This technology enables integration of more renewable energy and electrification of consumption. 
By making better use of what we already have, we reduce carbon footprints while also creating value for society, industry, and our shareholders. 

We have global ambitions and are already present in 15 European countries, as well as the US. 

What are we looking for?
We are now looking for a practical technician. A real handyperson who loves to fix things and finds practical solutions to problems. As the manager Øyvind says "this is Lego for grownups on steroids". You will be part of a great team of 10 colleagues who work within hardware, electronics, and firmware. Your tasks will mainly revolve practical work within hardware and electronics, and you will both work at the office and in field.

What will you be working with?

We are a company that develops a sensor package that gets installed on overhead high-voltages lines with a drone. Both the sensor (the Neuron) and the drone tool is designed and developed in-house in our offices in downtown Oslo where we have both an electronics lab and a mechanical workshop room. Mass manufacturing of the sensor is done in Stavanger, and is unrelated to this position. The custom parts of the drone are assembled in Oslo and is part of this job.

There are a lot practical tasks that we need help with spanning both the mechanical and electrical domains. Helping with assembling the drone tool, and test setups and doing testing for the ‘Neuron’ sensor will be core aspects of the job. Example jobs would be gluing together carbon-fibre structures, tapping holes, making wire-harnesses or doing repeated test-runs for reliability testing.  

We are looking for someone practically minded and solution oriented who enjoys working with their hands and creating things. And giving a hand wherever needed - no job is too big or too small. Some tasks will be laid out with detailed instructions, while others will be less detailed where you get given an idea of the end result and have to find a way to get there. If you are able to add constructive feedback along the way this would be a welcomed addition.

We don’t necessarily expect you to have all skills in place, but looking for someone with the right mindset where you can pick up stuff quickly when taught - and who knows when to ask questions rather than continuing down the wrong path.

Example tasks include

Mechanical

• Cutting and gluing carbon-fibre rods

• Tapping and drilling holes

• Filing and adjusting parts for fit

Electrical:

• Crimping for connectors

• Soldering tasks

• Assembling electrical test-setups 

Assembly

• Assembly of the drone tool (both mechanical parts and adding electronics and wiring)

• Help assemble test setups (test setups both for performance testing and manufacturing test-setups).

Testing and servicing

• Give a hand in drone-testing (both in the office and in the field)

• Help troubleshooting the drone tool (mostly mechanical)

• Running and servicing our 3D printers

• Reliability testing (sometimes repeating same test many times)

• Day travels for field testing, both alone and with the team

• Help keep out labs clean and organized

Documentation and feedback

• Provide feedback on written build instructions

• Some low-level coding tasks might be possible if the candidate is interested (but not a must)

Who are we looking for (not all are musts):

• No formal degree required – proven practical skills are highly valued

• Background as a builder, carpenter, mechanic, electrician, technician, or similar hands-on profession is a strong advantage

• Comfortable working with tools, materials, and technical drawings

• Electronics testing with multimeter, oscilloscope

• Practical experience with electronics assembly and repair (through-hole and SMD is a plus)

• Ability to follow instructions, but also think independently and propose solutions

• Willingness to learn

• Interest in technology and hardware development

• Quality-focused

• Ability to work closely with engineers and contribute to a team-oriented environment

• Drivers licence (førekort klasse B) would be a pluss

What we offer

This job is a chance to truly “create” something. The tasks will vary and few days will look the same.
We offer competitive salary with great pension and insurance benefits. We have a positive, flexible, and trust-based work environment, with flexible working conditions. We are a team of highly competent and friendly colleagues, with lots of social events, such as game nights, chess, running clubs etc. Our office is centrally located in Oslo, close to public transportation of all kind.  

Does this sound interesting? If so, we want to hear from you! We are interviewing candidates on a continuous basis. We therefore encourage interested applicants to submit their application as early as possible.
