CAD / Tooling Engineer

Candela’s ultimate purpose is to speed up the transition to fossil fuel-free lakes and oceans. We strive to re-think efficiency in marine transportation to radically push the performance boundaries of electric boats and ships.

By combining sensors, computers and advanced submerged hydrofoils, our electric craft fly above the water, reaching speeds and range previously attained only by fossil fuel powerboats.

After launching Candela C-7, Europe’s currently best-selling electric boat, we launched Candela C-8 in August 2021, the first electric boat intended for high volume production. We are also venturing into public transport with the revolutionary foiling P-30 ferry, built for the city of Stockholm.

We are now looking for a CAD/Tooling Engineer to support Candela’s growth ambitions.


Core responsibilities

In this role, you are the main responsible for designing and developing production tooling such as molds for composite parts and fixtures/jigs. This will be done either in-house or in close collaboration with external suppliers/tool makers. You will work closely with R&D, production engineers and technicians to optimize the design of the product (DFM) and create tooling designs (either detailed or conceptual) that allow efficient production of the world’s greatest boats.

- Creating detailed or conceptual designs for production tooling, molds
- Creating technical instructions/drawings for our production team to act upon
- Creating and developing Candela’s best practice for mold design and standardizing components across different molds and suppliers
- Developing methods for quality assurance of existing molds
- Developing methods for mold maintenance and repairs
- Modifying existing tooling for prototyping

Join a stellar team

By bringing together some of the world’s brightest researchers and engineers, we are pushing the boundaries of marine transportation. We take great pride in building engagement within our teams. Our internal motto is “with a revolutionary spirit and kindness”, which translates into an open and honest work environment - we have a lot of fun while working hard to achieve our goals.

We are a 100-strong, multinational team of experts within dynamic modelling, hardware design, hydrodynamics, control theory, machine learning, structural engineering work and production to build the next generation of waterborne transport. This is a full-time position at our Headquarter at Frihamnen, Stockholm. Working language is English, if you also know Swedish it will be a benefit for yourself, but it is not a prerequisite for the role.
