Vacant job

Do you want to work close to the product and influence how advanced technical systems are designed to be safe, robust, and reliable? We are now looking for a mechanical engineer with an interest in safety for a high-tech environment within the defense industry.

In this role, you will combine your interest in mechanics with a system perspective and work on products that place extremely high demands on design, strength, and safety. You will become part of an experienced team where you have the opportunity to develop, broaden your skills, and work through the entire development chain – from requirements to finished and verified product.

The location can be in Karlstad or Karlskoga.

About the Role

As a mechanical engineer within safety, you work at the intersection of design, function, and system safety in the development of advanced products, primarily missile systems. The role involves ensuring that technical solutions work safely in practice – at both component and system levels.

You are involved throughout the entire development process, where you analyze how design, material selection, and construction affect the product's safety based on the requirements. Together with your team, you identify risks associated with mechanical solutions, develop safety requirements, and actively contribute to design decisions to minimize risks from the start.

The work also includes participating in tests, verifications, and analyses where you monitor that the design meets the set requirements. You collaborate closely with other engineers in areas such as mechanics, strength, electronics, and software, giving you a broad understanding of how the entire system fits together.

The role suits you if you want to work both practically and analytically, and if you want to take a broader holistic view of how mechanical systems function in complex and safety-critical products. You will receive a structured introduction and support from experienced colleagues, providing good opportunities to grow into the role and develop further.

Your Profile

We are looking for you who have a genuine interest in technology and thrive in environments where complex systems, precision, and safety are crucial factors. You work methodically, take responsibility for your work, and have a desire to understand both details and the whole picture. You appreciate working long-term and following a product through the entire development process – from requirements to verified solution. As a person, you are flexible, solution-focused, and have an easy time collaborating in a group. You are comfortable asking for support and absorbing feedback from more experienced colleagues. The ability to identify risks, see connections, and make well-considered technical assessments is important for success in the role.

Essential Requirements:

• University degree or Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Product Development, or equivalent
• At least 1 year of relevant experience in technical development with requirements setting, or equivalent background through thesis, trainee, or junior role
• Basic experience with, or a pronounced interest in, system and/or product safety
• Ability and interest in working through the entire development chain – from requirements to verification
• Very good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written
• Valid driver's license (Category B)

A security clearance and security interview will be conducted prior to employment in accordance with current regulations for security protection. This may entail requirements for specific citizenship.
