Welcome to RF & Antenna team
You’ll be leading our RF & Antenna team consisting of 12 highly skilled engineers designing our RF and antenna solutions. We are a part of Device Hardware in R&D.

"The goal for you will be clear, our growth comes from highly skilled and motivated people. You will be responsible for providing daily guidance, prioritization and development of the team and its members. All inspired by your enthusiasm for people” says your new manager Mads Gustavsen.

You will, furthermore, also join the leadership team of the Electronics group. In collaboration with your peers, you will plan and implement the necessary activities for the smooth daily operation of the group. Moreover, you will contribute to the strategic development of the group and its goals.

Experience in people leadership and transformation 
We are looking for candidates with a degree in electronic engineering, who have design experience in medical devices, consumer electronics, or similar. Your experience may include RF or antenna design, but what’s most important is experience in managing a team in an R&D focused organisation, either as a people manager or maybe a skilled project manager, and you know how to win people for your cause and make them follow you.
