Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace careers

Kongsberg's American arm was established in 2005 and runs from Alexandria, Virginia, with more than 250 people across Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Michigan. More than 220 of them work at one plant. Johnstown, Pennsylvania has been in production since 2008, has shipped over 20,000 remote weapon stations and roughly 100 remote turrets, and is by the company's account its largest production facility outside Norway. A $10 million expansion finished there in the fall of 2025, adding tooling and a line for the US Marine Corps' Amphibious Combat Vehicle. A missile plant planned for James City County, Virginia, is slated to employ 187.
Remote weapon stations and remote turrets come together as much from wiring and connectors as from steel, since the sights, sensors, and operator station all have to talk to each other. That puts cable and harness assembly on the Johnstown floor next to the mechanical trades.
