We are now looking for a Mechanical Designer for our Test Development section in Arboga!

Within the Test Development department, we develop, commission, and support a wide range of test equipment for both military and civilian use. Here, you will be a valuable asset to our team by acting as a sounding board for technical questions and being creative by exploring opportunities in new ways of working and structures.

Your Role

As a Mechanical Designer with us, you will be part of the entire development process, from concept design to creating the final product. This includes, among other things, product improvement, lifecycle management, and communication with suppliers and internal/external customers. Furthermore, the role involves close collaboration with our local prototype department, as well as revision and document management in the company's PDM system.

Your responsibilities will include, among other things:

• Support for the prototype department in connection with construction.
• Create assembly and detailed designs within our product segment. This mainly involves creating products and designs, both in the PDM system and in the CAD environment.
• Product improvements and changes to existing designs.
• Support and contribute to our improvement work regarding method, product, and process development. This may involve refining our development process, writing instructions, creating checklists, and looking at new technical solutions regarding design or manufacturing.
• At need, support our sales/pre-study organization when it comes to analyzing and determining in an early stage how a design can look in relation to customer requirements.

Your Profile

We are looking for you who have documented experience in mechanical design. You have a technical background from high school, college, university, or other suitable experience in the field.

As a person, you need to be driven, communicative, curious, and unpretentious. The position implies that you can make your own decisions and take responsibility for what is to be delivered. We also see that you are a technology-interested and social person who likes to solve problems, as well as work in a team with other colleagues. The role involves close collaboration with other disciplines, such as electrical, electronics, measurement technology, and software.

To succeed in the role:

• Experience in mechanical design
• CAD modeling
• Drawing production
• IFS

It is an advantage if you also have experience of:

• Autodesk (Vault, Inventor, Autocad)
• Electrical design (cabling and electrical schematics).
• Altium Designer
• Experience from the defense/aviation industry

The position requires that you undergo and are approved according to current regulations for security clearance. For positions where Saab has requirements for security classification, this may, in some cases, entail requirements for certain citizenship.

Please note that the selection process will take place during the summer. Interviews are expected to be conducted in August/September.
