Vacant job

Work with mechanical design in a high-performance environment where precision, quality, and performance are crucial. The products are developed for demanding environments within the automotive industry, where technical decisions have a direct impact on the final product's functionality, feel, and reliability.

About the Role

You will become part of an R&D team where advanced mechanical design, product development, and technical problem-solving are at the center. Here, premium products are developed with high demands on functionality, lifespan, quality, and performance. It is an environment where technical decisions have a direct impact on the end product and where the designs need to perform under real-world conditions.

As a Mechanical Designer, you work in several parallel development projects and are responsible for a product or part of a system. You are involved from early concepts and design solutions to testing, production preparation, and mass production. The role therefore involves more than just creating designs in CAD – you gain clear technical ownership and follow the solutions all the way out into reality.

An important part of the role is to drive your area forward. This means planning and prioritizing technical activities, coordinating work with functions such as production, testing, quality, purchasing, and suppliers, and ensuring that the solution maintains the right level regarding performance, quality, cost, and manufacturability.

You will both further develop existing products and be involved in the development of new solutions and platforms. Here you get to work close to the end product, close to the technical decisions, and close to colleagues with high competence in their fields. The role suits you who want to take greater technical responsibility and develop further in an environment with a high technical level, strong product pride, and a short path from idea, design, testing, to production.

In the long term, there are good opportunities for further development, either towards a more specialist role, product responsibility, or broader technical leadership.

Responsibilities

In the role, you will among other things:

• Be responsible for a product, component group, or subsystem within mechanical design and product development
• Work with mechanical design in CAD, from concept to finished product
• Drive technical solutions forward through planning, prioritization, and coordination
• Ensure that the design meets requirements for functionality, quality, cost, and manufacturability
• Work with DFM/DFA, requirement management, risk analysis, and test strategies
• Contribute to verification, production preparation, and industrialization
• Collaborate cross-functionally with R&D, production, testing, quality, purchasing, and suppliers
• Follow up on technical solutions and contribute to improvements throughout the product's lifecycle

We are looking for you who

• Have a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanics, or a corresponding field
• Have a few years of experience in mechanical design and product development
• Have a good understanding of how design, manufacturing, and the end product are connected
• Have experience working with products or subsystems that have gone from development to production, preferably in larger volumes
• Have good skills in Swedish and English, both spoken and written

It is an advantage if you have experience with DFM/DFA, requirement management, risk analysis, DFMEA, verification, or industrialization. It is also a plus if you have worked close to production, testing, quality, purchasing, or suppliers in previous roles.

As a person, you thrive in a role where you get to take responsibility for the whole picture and not just your own delivery. You are curious, meticulous, and solution-oriented, while also having the ability to drive the work forward even when conditions change. You take initiative, step up when needed, and are motivated by seeing the results of your work in a finished product.

You move naturally between details and the big picture, and find it easy to collaborate with different functions around the product. You are unpretentious, communicative, and confident in influencing others to move forward. With a pragmatic approach, you use processes when they create value, but do not let them stand in the way of progress.
