What will you be working with?

You will become part of a great team and work practically for most of your working day. The role involves preparing, assembling, and disassembling, as well as preparing batteries, modules, and cells for testing and various types of updates. When tests are completed, you will disassemble and analyze the test object together with our partners. If needed, work may also occur within other groups in the section, and travel to external test facilities may be included.

Your skills

We expect you to have a technical high school diploma, a university college degree, or documented multi-year experience with electrified vehicles and/or electrical work. You have good electrical knowledge and good knowledge of measurement technology. Furthermore, you have good analytical skills, set high demands on quality, and apply a structured working method with a pronounced safety mindset. We assume that you like to tinker, are practical, and have good knowledge of Swedish and English, both in speech and writing. You handle most common computer programs and have an open mind as well as an interest in learning new things within the field. You have a B driver's license, and it is an advantage if you also have a forklift license, as the work includes some handling of goods.

Who are you?

As a person, you see opportunities rather than difficulties and are eager to take the initiative to learn new things and develop your knowledge, both in new technology and our products. You thrive in cross-functional and multicultural teams, while feeling comfortable working independently when needed. You have a natural ability to collaborate, are receptive, and communicate clearly. You enjoy building long-term relationships, both with colleagues and customers. You are structured and have good ability to plan, organize, and prioritize your work. When faced with a challenge, you tackle it directly and work purposefully to achieve set goals and timeframes.
