With a strong interest in the surrounding value chain, you collaborate closely with Operations/Production, Sales and other R&D functions to secure high‑quality deliveries to our customers.

Key Responsibilities

Leadership and team development

• Lead, coach and develop a team of mechanical design engineers.

• Set clear goals and priorities, secure effective ways of working and follow‑up.

• Build a culture of collaboration, knowledge sharing and continuous improvement.

• Support competence development and create conditions for high engagement and performance.

Mechanical design and technical ownership

• Work hands‑on with mechanical design in development projects, from concept to released product.

• Act as a technical sounding board and daily support for the team.

• Ensure quality, cost‑efficiency and manufacturability, applying good engineering practice.

• Contribute to design of frames, sheet metal parts, weldments, piping/tubing, enclosures and fixtures.

Planning and delivery

• Contribute to resource planning, workload balancing and project staffing.

• Secure that design deliverables meet requirements, deadlines and quality standards.

• Drive problem‑solving and remove obstacles in projects and daily work.

• Collaborate closely with cross‑functional stakeholders (R&D, Operations/Production, Product Management, Sales and Service).

Tools and methods

• Promote efficient use of PDM/PLM systems (e.g. Teamcenter) and CAD tools (SolidWorks/Solid Edge).

• Help develop and standardize ways of working, design guidelines and documentation.

• Support continuous improvement of processes, methods and tools within mechanical design.

Skills & Competencies

We are looking for someone who combines strong mechanical design experience with natural leadership and a clear can‑do mindset.

You have:

• At least 5 years’ experience in mechanical design, preferably within machinery, automation or industrial products.

• Experience of leading teams, either as a formal manager or as a technical leader/project lead.

• Strong ability to work independently, drive initiatives and make decisions.

• A strong interest in understanding and supporting Operations/Production, Sales and other R&D‑related functions.

• A genuine interest in combining people leadership with being an active, hands‑on designer.

• Excellent problem‑solving skills and a solution‑oriented, positive attitude.

Technical skills (strong advantages)

• Experience with PDM/PLM systems, preferably Teamcenter.

• Experience from SolidWorks and/or Solid Edge.

• Knowledge of or interest in Tacton configurator (clear plus).

• Background in industrial/machinery/automation design (e.g. frames, sheet metal, weldments, piping/tubing, enclosures, fixtures).

• Familiarity with designing for cost‑efficient manufacturing and assembly (DFM/DFA).

Experience & Education

• BSc or MSc in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent technical education.

• Several years of relevant experience as a mechanical designer/engineer in industrial products, machinery, automation or related fields.

• Professional experience with 3D CAD and PDM/PLM tools in a product development environment.

• Fluency in English, spoken and written; Swedish is an advantage.
