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.
What you’ll do
Write prototype-level drivers and test firmware for new sensors, chips and modules
Own firmware-side power behaviour: low-power states and energy optimisation, with hardware support
Debug across the hardware/firmware boundary with oscilloscope, logic analyser, power analyser and debug probe
Run protocol-level system tests for LTE, NTN and Bluetooth, including pre-compliance
Build test automation and test setups for bring-up and regression
Review schematics from the firmware side and give input on component choices
What we’re looking for
Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Cybernetics or similar
Embedded C, including peripheral drivers (I²C, SPI, UART, ADC, GPIO, interrupts, DMA)
Experience with an RTOS on ARM Cortex-M
Low-power firmware design and energy measurement
Python for test automation
Comfort reading schematics, datasheets and errata
Fluent English
Nice to have
Experience with Zephyr and nRF platforms. This is our platform, and we’ll get you up to speed
GNSS, LTE-M/NB-IoT, Bluetooth or NTN knowledge, and protocol test tools
CE, FCC and ISED certification
Git and CI
What we offer
Short path from idea to impact: you’ll see your work in the field
Visits to customers and their animals, to see how the product lives in reality
Room to grow towards firmware, system test or system architecture
Location: Trondheim or Molde
About the Application We will evaluate candidates continuously. If you have any questions about Nofence or regarding the application, please reach out to our Engineering Manager, Kjetil Grimsæth.
About 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!

Type the gross monthly salary you were offered. We apply the 2026 tax rules and subtract an average rent from SSB.
Method: national insurance 7.6%, standard deduction 46% (max NOK 95,700), personal allowance NOK 114,540, ordinary income tax 22% (assumed unchanged; verify), bracket tax 1.7/4.0/13.7/16.8/17.8%. Ignores pension, union fees, deductions, municipal differences and holiday-pay timing. Rent = SSB 2025 survey average, not a current asking price. Food, energy, transport and insurance must still come out of what is left. Not advice.
