About the job

As a Production Engineer, you play a central role in developing, improving, and ensuring efficient manufacturing and testing processes within electronics production. You work closely with operators, quality, production, and R&D to create robust processes that contribute to high quality, delivery security, and efficiency in the business.

The role combines operational support to production with long-term development work where you are responsible for developing and implementing methods, processes, and ways of working for both existing and future products. You analyze deviations and ensure that production has the right prerequisites to meet the business's requirements for quality and performance.

As a natural link between production and development, you also participate in the industrialization of new products and contribute technical competence to the work of introducing new processes. The role involves close collaboration with several functions where you have the opportunity to influence and develop the business through continuous improvements and a structured approach.

Your main areas of responsibility include:

• Develop and implement manufacturing and testing methods for new and existing products.
• Create, update, and maintain work instructions, process descriptions, and technical documentation.
• Analyze deviations, conduct root cause analyses, and initiate corrective actions.
• Provide technical support to production and solve production-related problems.
• Ensure the implementation of new methods, processes, and technologies in production.
• Participate in improvement projects and the development of a Lean-oriented production environment.

Your profile

You have a genuine interest in technology, production, and improvement work, and thrive in a role where you can combine analysis, problem-solving, practical implementation, and documentation. You are motivated by developing processes and ways of working that contribute to improving the business.

We are looking for you who have experience from manufacturing industry and are accustomed to working close to production. You have a good understanding of manufacturing flows, process development, documentation, and compliance.

To thrive and succeed in the role, we believe you are a communicative and solution-oriented person with a structured way of working. You find it easy to collaborate with different functions, while also taking personal responsibility and driving your tasks forward. Furthermore, you are analytical and enjoy working close to the business where quick decisions and effective solutions make a difference in everyday life.

We believe you have:

• Experience of electronics assembly and associated manufacturing processes.
• Experience of electrical testing and test methods.
• Good understanding of manufacturing flows and practical production.
• Experience of method development, process development, and continuous improvements.
• Good documentation habits and experience in writing instructions and process descriptions.
• Very good knowledge of Swedish and English, both in speech and writing.

It is an advantage if you have a relevant higher education in, for example, production technology, electronics, or mechatronics. Having experience of optical testing or optical systems is highly meritorious. Experience of IPC standards is also positive. If you have previously worked in defense, aviation, medical technology, or other regulated industries, we see this as an advantage, as well as experience of Lean Manufacturing, industrialization, and introduction of new products into production.

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