Job Description

Do you want to work broadly with everything from advanced power electronics to practical workshop work, and help develop solutions that save energy for industry globally? Are you driven by keeping the big picture together and leading others in technical projects? There is now an opportunity for a leading and broad role as Senior Mechanical Development Engineer at CG Drives & Automation in Helsingborg. We offer a challenging and dynamic work environment where you get to shape future green technology solutions.

Your role – broad, practical, and cohesive

Since we are a small local mechanical team, we offer a broad role for you who thrives in being operational and is practically minded. Your main task is the new development and adaptation of complete power electronics modules up to 1,000 V and 5,000 A. You will be the cohesive force for the mechanical design. Since detailed design is done both with our own resources and with technical consultants, your task is to lead, train, and coordinate these consultants, as well as be responsible for tools, processes, and product knowledge. You will also work closely with our purchasing and production departments to build and evaluate prototypes, which means you will spend a significant amount of time in our workshop and test lab. The role includes a handful of trips per year, primarily to our office in Germany or to test labs in Sweden and Denmark.

Responsibilities

Your responsibilities:

• Electromechanical system design and system integration of power electronics.
• Collaborate with our global supply chain in both Sweden and Europe and Asia.
• Lead technical consultants and be responsible for the overall scope of mechanical projects.
• Be highly involved in the creation of rapid prototypes and production technology issues.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have:

• Education & Experience: At least a Bachelor's degree (BSc) in Mechanical Engineering and at least 10 years of relevant work experience. You have experience in mechanical design of electronic or power electronics products.
• Technical Systems: In-depth knowledge and experience with 3D CAD systems, specifically SolidWorks, along with integrated PDM and PLM systems. You also have competence in thermodynamic simulation tools.
• Power Electronics & Electrical Safety: Understanding of high-current technology and knowledge of power electronic components (e.g., IGBTs, power inductors, and capacitors). You also have good knowledge of electrical safety requirements and standards (IEC and UL).
• Thermal & Mechanical Design: Competence in heat management technology (air and water cooling) as well as knowledge of design and testing for vibrations and mechanical stresses.
• Testing & Prototyping: Experience with practical electrical, mechanical, and environmental testing. You also have experience in general mechanical design, material knowledge, and manufacturing methods, as well as "Rapid prototyping" (quickly creating prototypes).
• New Product Introduction (NPI): Competence in New Product Introduction, meaning introducing products into manufacturing, assembly, testing, and the supply chain.
• Supplier Contacts: Experience working and collaborating with subcontractors in a global supply chain (preferably with actors in both Europe and Asia).
• Languages: Fluent proficiency in English, both spoken and written.

Who are you?

To succeed in this role, you need to have high collaboration skills, strong leadership qualities, and enjoy handling multiple stakeholders simultaneously. You thrive in a broad engineering role where you think strategically and work 'hands-on'.
