Are you an experienced Structural Analysis Engineer looking to work on technically advanced assignments where your expertise truly makes a difference? We are currently seeking senior Structural Analysis Engineers for assignments with clients within the defense industry, automotive industry, aerospace, and other advanced industrial sectors. This is an opportunity for you if you want to work close to the technology, contribute to qualified projects, and simultaneously gain greater freedom in how you wish to develop your career. About the Role As a Senior Structural Analysis Engineer, you will work in technically complex projects where the focus lies on the analysis, simulation, and verification of structures and mechanical systems. The assignments vary depending on your experience, specialist competence, and ambition, but include among other things strength calculations, FEM analyses, model building, evaluation of results, and technical recommendations to design and development teams. You will work on assignments with high demands on quality, precision, and technical understanding. For the right person, there is an opportunity to take greater technical responsibility, work in more business-critical projects, and influence both the setup and direction over time. We are looking for you who truly appreciate technology and would rather spend time on qualified engineering work than internal administration and unnecessary fluff. Your Background We are looking for you who have an academic education in mechanical engineering, vehicle engineering, technical physics, or equivalent, and who have at least 5 years of experience in structural analysis and FEM-based calculation work. You are accustomed to working independently, understand the role of analysis in the development chain, and can translate theory into practical value in complex project environments. You have likely worked with structural strength, dynamics, vibrations, fatigue, or similar issues and feel confident in building, conducting, and interpreting analyses. You thrive in technical environments where competence is highly valued and where you get to contribute with both specialist knowledge and judgment. Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant technical field
- At least 5 years of experience in structural analysis and FEM
- Good understanding of strength of materials and mechanics
- Experience working in technically advanced development projects
- Ability to work independently and take technical responsibility
- Good communication skills
- Proficiency in professional Swedish and/or English, both spoken and written
- Experience from the defense industry, automotive industry, aerospace, or other advanced industries
- Experience with tools such as Ansys, Abaqus, Nastran, HyperMesh, LS-DYNA, or similar
- Knowledge in dynamics, vibrations, fatigue, crash, composites, or non-linear analyses
- Programming experience in Python or Matlab
- Experience in a consultant role or customer-facing technical work
- Experience working in a security-classified or regulatorily governed environment
We offer you the opportunity to work on qualified assignments in technically strong environments where your competence is at the center. With us, you get not only access to interesting projects but also flexibility in how you want to work and develop forward. We work long-term with senior engineers and want to create setups that work both professionally and personally. Furthermore, you are offered:
- Qualified assignments within technically advanced industry
- Opportunity to influence the types of assignments you take
- Flexibility in setup, e.g., employment, consulting solution, or own company
- A long-term platform for continued development
- Access to network, business opportunities, and relevant support around the assignments
- Market-competitive terms

We work on matching senior engineering competence with qualified assignments at companies within technically advanced industries. Our focus is on creating the right match between person, competence, and assignment, rather than forcing candidates into standardized processes.
Through our network and our understanding of both technology and business, we create opportunities for engineers who want to work in more qualified projects, with better terms and greater impact. For some, it is about the next really strong assignment. For others, it is about greater freedom or a step towards a more independent setup.
