They offer a high-tech environment where long-term development and collaboration are central to their mission. As part of a team working on underwater systems and complex digital solutions, their engineers help shape the future of secure and sustainable technology.

Your new role
We are seeking Cybersecurity Engineers to join our client's cybersecurity team within Kockums, based in either Karlskoga or Linköping.

Familiarity with security controls such as firewalls, IDS/IPS, logging tools, and access control.
