  • Tasks include operations, repair, and maintenance of the current EISCAT systems which are comprised of dish-based antenna systems and klystron-driven transmitters. An even more challenging endeavour will be participation in the complex engineering, scoping, planning, design validation, and construction management of EISCAT_3D. Your particular skills and interests will determine the primary areas of individual responsibility.

EISCAT_3D is a modern, multi-static, phased array radar system currently being constructed in Finland, Norway, and Sweden. The construction project started 1 September 2017 and the system will be ready for use at the end of 2022. Site preparations have mostly been completed and the system hardware will be installed starting summer 2021.

Required qualifications:

  • A degree in electrical or mechanical engineering or equivalent. Basic education coupled with long relevant experience can compensate for lack of a formal engineering degree

  • Excellent problem-solving skills, pro-active hands-on mentality, a team player, driven to achieve success

Location and employment terms:

The Operations and Maintenance Engineer will work at EISCAT Headquarters in Kiruna but needs to be prepared to spend time at the EISCAT operating sites in Finland, Norway, including Svalbard, and Sweden. Work at the non-Swedish sites are considered as regular business trips and will usually last 5-10 days. The employment terms, including length of employment, are subject to negotiation but should not be less than two years. A continuation in a regular position may be possible thereafter.
