Could you be the full-time Brake Validation Engineer in Västerås we’re looking for?

Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your technical and analytical expertise in a dynamic and innovative field. You’ll work alongside collaborative and forward-thinking teammates.

You'll play a key role in ensuring the safety and reliability of our brake systems. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (such as product development, testing, and safety teams), contribute to problem-solving initiatives, and much more.

You’ll specifically take care of consolidating the validation plan for our brake systems, but also specifying test benches and preparing measuring equipment for testing.

We’ll look to you for:

• Consolidating the validation plan of the brake system
• Specifying the test bench
• Issuing test procedures
• Preparing the measuring equipment needed for tests
• Checking the configuration of the brake system before any test
• Executing tests and issuing test reports
• Contributing to the tuning of the brake system and problem-solving
• Supporting brake-related tests to be conducted on trains

All about you

We value passion and attitude over experience. That’s why we don’t expect you to have every single skill. Instead, we’ve listed some that we think will help you succeed and grow in this role:

• Engineering degree in automatics, electronics, electricity, or mechanics
• Experience in testing
• Knowledge of validation processes and tools
• Familiarity with measuring equipment and test benches
• A strong commitment to rigor and autonomy
• Teamworking skills to collaborate effectively in a multicultural environment
• Fluency in English; Swedish is an advantage but not a requirement

Things you’ll enjoy

Join us on a life-long transformative journey – the rail industry is here to stay, so you can grow and develop new skills and experiences throughout your career. You’ll also:

• Enjoy stability, challenges and a long-term career free from boring daily routines
• Collaborate with transverse teams and helpful colleagues
• Contribute to innovative projects shaping the future of mobility
• Utilise our inclusive and flexible working environment
• Steer your career in whatever direction you choose across functions and countries
• Benefit from our investment in your development, through award-winning learning
• Progress towards roles such as Technical Expert or Project Manager
• Benefit from a fair and dynamic reward package that recognises your performance and potential, plus comprehensive and competitive social coverage (life, medical, pension)

You don’t need to be a train enthusiast to thrive with us. We guarantee that when you step onto one of our trains with your friends or family, you’ll be proud. If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love to hear from you!
