Who are we looking for? We’re looking for a structured and pragmatic leader who combines technical curiosity with a genuine interest in developing people. You create clarity, build trust, and know how to engage a team around common goals. At the same time, you are comfortable making decisions, driving change, and challenging established ways of working when needed. You bring a solid technical foundation and know how to create structure and momentum in a team.

You likely have: • A degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, or similar • Several years of experience leading hardware or cross-functional engineering teams • Experience from industrial systems involving electronics, mechanics, and motion • Familiarity with tools such as Creo, PLM systems like Windchill, E-plan or Xpedition, • Strong communication skills in Swedish and English
