Why work here
Opportunities, wellbeing and expertise
Growth and development
Since we're a small company, the path from idea to decision is short. Here you have great opportunities to shape the company's development and your own working life. You can draw on your specialist expertise from your education while also developing new skills.
Wellbeing and plenty of freedom
We offer good coffee, lunch from Presterud bakery, cinnamon buns whenever we celebrate a sale, and a foosball table ready for anyone who wants to play. Working hours are flexible, and we have a great working environment thanks to the great people on our team.
Sought-after expertise
Only a handful of companies worldwide work on the same things we do. We have skilled colleagues in scientific programming, databases, visualization, user interfaces and web solutions, and new functionality is rolled out quickly.
Based in Flekkefjord and Stockholm
IMPETUS has offices in both Flekkefjord and Stockholm, and we're in daily contact via digital platforms. We're both Swedes and Norwegians, and we also attract other international talent who settle in Flekkefjord.
If Flekkefjord feels too small and you'd rather work in the big city of Stockholm – we can arrange that too!

Sustainability and international visibility
Simulations are more environmentally friendly than physical testing, reducing costs and the use of energy and raw materials. We also buy from local suppliers as much as possible – for instance, our cloud solution is designed and operated by the Flekkefjord-based company Iserv Computing.
Our focus is on the international market. We host international conferences in Flekkefjord, attracting customers from all over the world. This fills hotels and local restaurants and puts Flekkefjord on the map. We have an extensive network of international universities and global customers, and we can connect local stakeholders with this network.
Working with us
At IMPETUS, we invest in our organization and our people so that we can keep our products at the forefront in the long run. Every year, IMPETUS offers summer jobs/internships to local technologists.
