We're looking for someone with solid understanding in design engineering - ideally with a background within AM. Knowledge in softwares as Siemens NX, Ntopology, Ansys, as well as in structural simulation and optimization methods is meriting.

You bring:

Strong communication skills in English, verbally and in writing. Knowledge of Swedish is a plus.

Curiosity, a structured way of working, and an analytical mindset that helps you see both the bigger picture and the details.
