Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your testing and validation expertise in a cutting-edge field. You'll work alongside collaborative and innovative teammates.

We'll look to you for:

• Preparing detailed test plans in collaboration with the test team
• Planning and allocating the required testing efforts
• Monitoring test progress and making adjustments as needed
• Managing delays and preparing risk mitigation plans
• Facilitating team meetings to share updates and address challenges
• Presenting test status to stakeholders and management
• Driving continuous improvement of validation and verification activities

• Degree in engineering, robotics/mechatronics, or a related field
• Experience within test leading, test tools, test development and methodology
• Knowledge in electrical propulsion systems, control theory and signal processing is desirable
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication and team collaboration abilities
• Fluency in English is mandatory, and Swedish is preferable
