Vacant job

Mips specializes in helmet-based safety and is a world leader in its field. The solution, which is patented on all relevant markets, is sold to the global helmet industry. Mips consists of curious and engaged people who work together to create a safer everyday life for our fellow human beings.

About the role

Mips sells its products to helmet manufacturers who implement Mips technology in helmets that are then marketed and sold to end users. Mips works with several of the largest helmet manufacturers in the world within the sports helmet category, but also sells the company's solutions to brands active in the motorcycle and safety helmet categories. They have recently strengthened their position as market leaders in helmet safety through the acquisition of Koroyd, a leading brand in its niche with 40 employees and operations in Monaco.

Mips currently has its headquarters in Täby, but will move in December 2026 to new, fresh, and larger premises centrally located in Solna, where their testing facility will also be located. A large part of global helmet production takes place in China, which is why Mips has a wholly-owned subsidiary that works close to the customers' factories. In total, Mips has over 100 employees globally working in sales, research and development, production, and administration, of which approximately 85 are at the headquarters in Stockholm.

Mips is constantly growing and is now looking for a curious and driven Technical Engineer to join their implementation team!

What you will get

• A innovative company working on an international playing field
• Join a young company with great development opportunities within the company
• Developing work with a broad area of responsibility
• Beneficial wellness allowance of 5,000 SEK
• A free Mips helmet per year
