Development Project leader/Design Engineer

Om jobbet

Are you a curious and development-oriented engineer who is looking for your next career step?

Come and join our Engineering Division, based in Tranås Sweden, where we have our cross-functional teams located under one and same roof with development testing, prototyping and production. The teams consist of skilled, motivated people with diverse expertise and backgrounds.

We are looking for a candidate who wants to take lead in developing our next generation of nitrogen gas springs and related components. You have experience in product development as a mechanical engineer who is also interested in leading development projects as a natural part of your career development! This is a role for someone who enjoys creating smart, safe, and reliable mechanical solutions - and who thrives in a supportive, collaborative environment.

Main tasks and responsibilities

• Lead development projects of nitrogen gas springs, manifolds, and accessories. Coordinate cross-functional work, and drive design reviews

• Coordinate with cross-functional teams and drive project progress

• Support prototype builds, testing, validation, and industrialization activities

• Create 3D/2D CAD models, specifications, and engineering documentation

• Ensure manufacturability, cost efficiency, and compliance with safety standards

• Contribute to a culture of safety, quality, and continuous improvement.

Your profile

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar with a couple of years' experience in product development

• Experience in pressure-related systems

• Strong CAD skills and understanding of materials, sealing, and pressure system design

• Ability to lead technical tasks and drive projects forward

• Analytical, structured, and communicative team player - you value teamwork as much as technical excellence

• A curiosity to learn and grow; leadership experience is a plus but not required

It's a clear advantage if you have experience from the sheet metal industry, metallic materials, properties, and techniques including knowledge of manufacturing processes and industry standards!

We Offer

• A friendly, inclusive workplace where diverse perspectives are valued

• A role with real influence: you will lead development from concept to industrialization

• Support for professional development and work-life balance

• An opportunity to join a team where your ideas matter and your voice is heard

We encourage applicants of all genders and backgrounds - your talent and mindset are what matter most.
