Aircraft Mechanical Technician

From sea to sky, from Norway to the world.

At Noemi Aerospace, we’re building the future of coastal mobility through Noemi, the world’s first fully electric seaplane. Our versatile, 9-passenger electric seaplanes can also move up to one tonne of cargo - quietly and with zero emissions. City harbor to city harbor? Easy. We’re amphibious too, requiring only short distances for takeoff and landing at traditional airports.

Noemi Aerospace is a growing startup with a multinational team of 30+ passionate employees. We offer an informal, playful, and dynamic work atmosphere where your voice truly matters and the days fly by.
