"There aren't many places where you get to combine advanced camera technology with cutting-edge engineering. That makes this role quite unique."
Bofors Test Center continues to grow and we are now looking for more technical photographers who want to be part of documenting some of the world's most advanced testing operations.
This job involves much more than capturing a good image. Using advanced camera technology and specially adapted equipment, you document events and sequences that cannot be perceived with the naked eye. The material becomes an important part of the analysis and contributes to the development of future defense technology.
– Many might think of traditional photography when they hear the title, but this is a very technical role. We work with advanced film and camera systems in environments where precision, quality, and technology are absolutely critical. At the same time, we are a team that helps each other and develops together, says Niklas Nord, Bofors Test Center.
A role where no two days are the same
Work alternates between test fields and office. One day you set up camera systems for a test, the next you analyze and edit material or work on developing equipment and procedures for upcoming assignments.
For the right person, there are great opportunities to develop as the operation grows. Bofors Test Center continuously invests in new technology and seeks people who are curious, solution-oriented, and enjoy learning new ways of working.
The role suits you if you have experience with advanced camera technology, but the path here doesn't need to be traditional. For example, you could have worked with technical photography, high-speed cameras, or video production in industry. You could also come from an environment where advanced camera technology is used at a high pace, such as in major TV productions or live sports broadcasting.
– Really, it's not exactly where you come from that matters most. What's important is that you are technically curious, enjoy solving problems, and want to develop together with us, continues Niklas.
A workplace in development
Bofors Test Center has long held a strong position in testing weapon systems, ammunition, and other advanced defense technology. As the operation continues to grow, so does the team of technical photographers.
Here awaits a workplace with high technical expertise, strong cohesion, and a daily work environment where you get to work with technology and assignments that few other workplaces can offer.
Do you recognize yourself in this description? Then we hope you will submit your application.
