Working in a pioneering field with global reach
If interacting with colleagues in Asia, hosting a seminar in the US, and then attendig a scientific conference in Europe exites you, Nortek could be the right place for you!
Nortek is a leader in the design, development and distribution of instruments that measure the velocity of water currents and help to identify their patterns.
Our customers include scientists, research institutions, and consulting engineers, all requiring state-of-the-art instrumentation that is reliable and easy to use.
Do you want to see tangible results from your work?
The instruments we design shed light on the workings of the oceans that cover vast swathes of the globe, but that are still little understood.
Our current-measuring technology helps to further knowledge of some of the most complex phenomena on the planet, provides invaluable environmental data and even makes navigation safer.
Nortek believes in fast, efficient and clever design: we have one of the best design and development teams in the industry. Our physicists, engineers, oceanographers and other skilled personnel provide solutions in acoustic transducer design, analog electronics, digital design, signal processing, firmware, software, mechanical design, testing and equipment production.
Nortek employs highly motivated talent across the company. Along with science and design, we also provide exciting opportunities in business development, administration, sales and marketing.
We care about the environment
Scientists are striving to protect the world’s oceans from pollution, global warming, and man’s expanding activity.
At Nortek we provide answers to a small piece of the puzzle by enabling people to understand how the ocean moves and how waves propagate.
"If understanding nature interests you, Nortek could be the right place for you.”
Do you want to grow both professionally and personally?
As a company with Norwegian roots, we cherish a healthy Scandinavian work-life balance. Nortek’s corporate culture recognizes that there needs to be room for both career growth and a happy private life.
This means periods of intense work, being exposed to new challenges, and being pushed beyond prior limits. But it also means flexible work schedules, limited travel requirements, and respect for family time... along with a little fun.
The great working relationships within the company are part of the reason many of our employees stay with us for decades. We enjoy coaching our younger team members, learning from our senior leaders and organizing a variety of team-building activities.
About Nortek Group
Nortek designs, develops and produces scientific instruments that apply the Doppler principle to underwater acoustics in order to measure water in motion, such as currents and waves.
We provide truly innovative, robust, and accurate instruments, backed up by advanced software and comprehensive support to ensure customers maximize value from their measurements.
Our solutions make a big difference.
These instruments are used by scientists, researchers and engineers at renowned institutions and government agencies worldwide. They are employed in demanding environments that require state-of-the-art instrumentation that is reliable and easy to use.
Our exploratory devices help cast light on the workings of the world’s oceans, which occupy vast swathes of the planet, but are still little understood.
Most of Nortek’s technology is based on a scientific physical principle called the Doppler effect. This relates to the change in frequency (or pitch) when a sound source moves with respect to an observer.
By measuring these changes in frequency/phase, our instruments accurately measure profiles of speed and direction of complex water motion.
Nortek’s product portfolio ranges from wave measurement systems to single-point turbulence sensors and oceanic current profilers. Our product range covers four themes: ocean waves, ocean currents, turbulent flow and subsea navigation.
Our objective is to excite users with useful, innovative technology underpinned by oceanographic science and research. We work systematically with quality and are certified by leading quality assurance organizations.
