to apply for the job
Some leaders manage meetings. Others lead engineers building systems the world depends on.
Build the vehicles of tomorrow with us and build your future life in Örnsköldsvik.
Do you want to develop tomorrow's vehicles in a high-tech corporation? Imagine combining that with an outstanding quality of life, where magnificent nature and a safe environment await right outside your door.
Take the next step in your career, apply today and become part of tomorrow's defense technology.
Your Role
Leading engineers is one thing. Leading those who build the systems that protect our democracy and save lives is something entirely different. Here at Vetronics Variant Integration Dept., you lead teams working with some of the world's most advanced vehicle systems.
You operate in an environment where you are close to the engineers, design, integration, vehicles, and production. You are also close to the technical decisions that ultimately determine the outcome.
This is not a role far removed from the technology. You work right in the middle of development, close to the people, decisions, and reality. We believe the best teams are built by people who help each other succeed. Good leadership is about creating direction, structure, and the right conditions in complex environments.

- advanced mechanical design
- integration solutions
- development of future combat vehicles
The work includes
- mechanical design
- integration of vetronics hardware

This also involves technical trade-offs and deliveries where time and quality are crucial.
Leadership
The role requires leadership based on
- trust
- technical credibility
- structure
- calm
You create momentum and get people to perform together.
You maintain direction even as complexity increases and create security in the team when the pace is high.
Who You Are
Here, we value you as someone who
- enjoys solving problems
- takes responsibility
- helps others succeed
You are unpretentious, confident in your role, and have a genuine interest in technology as well as substantial experience working as a leader in your professional role.
We are looking for someone who has
- a Master of Science degree in Engineering or equivalent experience
- at least 8 years of experience in technical leadership
- experience in mechanics and/or system integration
Why You Should Choose Us
With us, you get to
- work on technically advanced and socially important projects
- be part of international collaborations
- have good opportunities for career development
- achieve a balance between work and private life
- live close to nature with a high quality of life
Living in Örnsköldsvik
Most of us commute in about 15 minutes. Many have ski tracks or slopes within a few minutes' reach and the boat in the harbor. The High Coast is just across the city border, and no matter the season, there is always something to do outdoors.
Housing prices are a fraction of those in big cities, the municipality is active towards newcomers, and the city often ranks high on lists of safe places for families with children. Several of our employees have moved here for the job and stayed for everything else.
