Kongsberg provides training in specialized transducer manufacturing processes. As you build proficiency, you’ll take on more complex assembly, inspection, testing, and troubleshooting with greater independence.

What You’ll Do

  • Assemble and wire transducer components from approved drawings and work instructions, including soldering, crimping, and terminating electrical connections.
  • Learn to perform impedance testing on monolithic and composite elements and finished transducers. Inspect your work against drawings and workmanship standards, record production, material, and test data, and report issues.
  • Learn to prepare and apply encapsulants, including measuring, mixing, potting, degassing, and curing epoxies and urethanes.
  • Train in specialized processes such as electrode deposition (sputtering), material preparation and dicing, and fabrication of acoustic absorbing components.
  • Use and maintain tools, fixtures, and equipment safely. Follow quality, health, safety, and environmental procedures, including safe chemical handling and 5S workplace organization practices.
  • Participate in cross-training and help improve manufacturing processes, work instructions, tooling, and fixtures.

As your skills develop, you may also support surface and subsea assembly, motor drive assembly and testing, optical sensor testing, oil filling and degassing of pressure-compensated assemblies, and hydroacoustic lens installation and testing. Cable work may include harness assembly, subsea cable termination and moulding, cable reel assembly and spooling, and electrical testing.

  • A technical diploma, certificate, or equivalent qualification in electronics, electrical or mechanical technology, mechatronics, manufacturing, instrumentation, or a related field.
  • Mechanical aptitude, a basic understanding of electrical and electronic principles, and hands-on experience with mechanical or electrical assembly.
  • Ability to read basic drawings, schematics, and dimensions, follow detailed instructions, and accurately record production and test data.
  • Attention to detail and comfort learning to use hand tools, production and test equipment, and manufacturing materials safely.
  • Clear communication, the ability to work independently and with others, and a willingness to learn and apply feedback.

Assets

  • Exposure to precision or electromechanical assembly, soldering, crimping, cable harness assembly, or electrical test equipment.
  • Familiarity with adhesives, epoxies, urethanes, or other encapsulants, or experience in a manufacturing or laboratory setting.
  • Familiarity with IPC-A-610, IPC/WHMA-A-620, ISO 9001, WHMIS, or industrial safety practices.

Working Conditions
