Briljantin Consulting is recruiting a full-time **Hydraulics Engineer** based in Stockholm on behalf of AlfaWall Oceanbird, a joint venture developing wing sail technology for sustainable maritime shipping. Working on the core actuation system—consisting of a main hydraulic power unit, backup system, cylinders, and motors—the role involves designing hydraulic systems, creating schematics, selecting components, and supporting regulatory documentation. Responsibilities include defining technical concepts for future system generations and acting as a technical interface with suppliers. The position requires practical testing, measurements, risk assessments, and **regular travel** to a test site in Landskrona as well as participation in commissioning onboard oceangoing vessels. Relocation support is available. Candidates are expected to hold at least a **Bachelor’s degree in hydraulics, mechanical or mechatronics engineering**, alongside education or experience in hydraulic system design. Useful merits include practical installation, measurement and testing experience, modeling in Matlab/Simulink, and familiarity with hydraulic design tools such as HyDraw or CAD tools like CREO. Background knowledge of marine systems, DNV regulations, control systems, sensors, or electrical installations is also considered a strong advantage.
Stockholm – Full-time
Wind helped us discover our planet — now it can help us preserve it.
On behalf of AlfaWall Oceanbird, we are now looking for a Hydraulics Engineer to join their fast-growing and highly innovative team in Stockholm.

- Practical hydraulic installation work
- Hydraulic testing, measurement tools and data analysis
- Hydraulic design tools (preferably HyDraw)
- Control systems, sensors and electrical installations
- Modeling and simulation (Matlab/Simulink)
- Mechanical CAD (preferably CREO)
