The Impact You'll Make

In this role, you will help industrialize the next generation of sensor technologies that make energy efficient and sustainable systems possible. You will turn promising technologies into manufacturable solutions that strengthen our competitiveness in a fast growing global market.
You will work at the intersection of technology, product strategy, and customer needs—translating complex engineering challenges into clear, practical outcomes. Your work will directly influence our technology roadmap, our partnerships, and how we bring new high volume sensor products to market.
At Danfoss Sensing Solutions, you’ll join a highly skilled, collaborative environment where ideas are challenged constructively, knowledge is shared openly, and you can make a meaningful impact from day one.

What You’ll Be Doing

•    Evaluate and mature new sensing technologies to determine their readiness for industrialization and integration into product platforms.
•    Lead early technical clarifications to enable confident decisions before full product development begins.
•    Drive technology assessments and due diligence when screening potential partners, acquisitions, or external solutions.
•    Collaborate with engineering, commercial, supply chain, and global colleagues to translate needs into actionable technology directions.
•    Engage with customers and external partners to uncover challenges and shape solutions that create real market value.

What We're Looking For

•    A M.Sc. in Engineering or equivalent technical background, giving you a strong foundation for practical technology decision making.
•    Solid experience with sensor technology or other high volume manufactured products.
•    Ability to independently drive technology clarification and industrialization—not purely academic exploration.
•    Strong communication skills and ease in working with customers and multidisciplinary stakeholders.
•    A pragmatic, hands on problem solver with a talent for turning complex concepts into manufacturable solutions.

What You'll Get from Us

You’ll join a team known for high professionalism, openness, and genuine technical collaboration. We challenge each other constructively, support one another, and enjoy working together—both in Denmark and across our global footprint.
At Danfoss, you can expect:
•    A role in a growing, strategically important business area with a direct link to the green transition.
•    Opportunities to work with complex, cross disciplinary challenges that broaden your skills.
•    Close collaboration with colleagues in Denmark, Europe, China, Mexico, and the USA, providing truly global exposure.
•    Access to advanced laboratories and specialist communities that help you succeed and grow.
•    A culture built on trust, helpfulness, and long term commitment—many colleagues stay because the work remains meaningful.

Ready to Make a Difference?

 

If you’re excited about turning new technologies into real, manufacturable solutions—and contributing to innovations that enable a greener future—we’d love to hear from you. You’re encouraged to apply even if you don’t meet every requirement.
