In this role, you will:
- Design, develop and improve mechanical solutions using the Creo 3D CAD system and the Windchill PDM system
- Take an active part in development projects, with a focus on simplicity, scalability, repeatability and quality, to create the best possible production setup for Axis products
- Work from concept to verified product in cross-functional projects
- The role may include travel, mainly to our contract manufacturers around the world, for approximately 15 days a year.
Who are you?
You are structured and driven, with a natural commitment to seeing your deliverables through to completion. You enjoy working cross-functionally, you have an open mindset, and you help build a creative environment around you.
You are curious and innovative, and you enjoy communicating with and influencing others, especially when it comes to production engineering. If that sounds like you, we believe this is the place for you.
We'd love to hear that you have:
- A bachelor's degree or higher in mechanical engineering
- At least 2 years' relevant experience of product development
- Experience of 3D CAD, ideally Creo
- Experience of 3D printing and of designing parts specifically for 3D printing
- Very good communication skills in English
- Communication skills in Swedish
Bonus points if you have any combination of:
- Design experience from mechatronics and automation
