You will work closely with design, production, and development and play a central role in ensuring that products and processes are robust, efficient, and adapted for series production. The position places high demands on practical experience in production engineering, from early industrialization to ongoing improvement work in production.

The role suits you if you have worked for several years as a production engineer and want to take clear technical responsibility in complex assembly and manufacturing environments.

Main responsibilities

• Responsible for production engineering industrialization of new and existing products
• Develop methods, processes, and assembly steps for efficient, safe, and stable production
• Create and further develop assembly instructions and production engineering documentation
• Actively work with drawing reviews from a production engineering perspective
• Ensure manufacturability in collaboration with design and development
• Plan and implement changes to production flows, layouts, and work methods
• Specify and create production equipment, fixtures, and lifting tools
• Analyze assembly times, cycle times, and resource requirements
• Participate in change and design groups as a production engineering representative
• Contribute to the digitalization of production and the development of new working methods
• Work daily in CAD and ERP/MPS systems
• Ensure that production processes meet requirements for quality, delivery precision, and efficiency

We are looking for you who

Have several years of experience in production engineering within manufacturing or assembly industries, preferably in technically complex environments such as defense, automotive, automation, or heavy industry. You are accustomed to driving production engineering issues from idea to implemented solution in production.

We would like you to have:

• Post-secondary education in engineering, such as mechanical engineering
• Documented and practical experience working as a production engineer (requirement)
• Experience working with industrialization, method development, and production optimization
• Good ability to read, interpret, and review drawings and CAD documentation
• Experience with ERP/MPS systems (SAP is an advantage)
• Good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written
• Valid driver's license (Category B)

Your profile

You are analytical, structured, and solution-oriented with a clear holistic production engineering perspective. You understand how technical decisions affect production efficiency over time and have the ability to balance quality, safety, cost, and ergonomics.

You thrive in collaboration with other technical functions and are confident in driving production engineering issues in cross-functional forums. For you, continuous improvement is a natural part of everyday life.

We place great emphasis on personal qualities.
