Work environment

The Oticon Medical BAHS R&D organization consists of 36 people, split between the headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden; Smørum, Denmark; and Sophia Antipolis, France.

Due to the size of our organization, we do not plan to develop everything in-house but rather utilize subcontractors or strategic partners for parts of the development. Our strategy is to be small and agile, and to accomplish this task we need to make unconventional choices and be pragmatic.

This position is open for the office in Smørum, Denmark, where we are currently 14 people located. Position is mainly on site.
