Carbon Fiber Composite Technician

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 just launched Candela C-8, 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 Carbon Fiber Composite Technician to support Candela’s growth ambitions.   

Core responsibilities

We are producing the majority of the composite parts for the boat in-house, including hull and deck, the wing, the struts, the rudder, and the motor frame. To be able to deliver according to needs and to strengthen our competence within carbon fiber construction, we are now looking for an experienced Carbon Fiber Composite Technician with knowledge in vacuum infusion.

About you

You are eager to be part of a team dedicated to writing history, being the world’s first producer of electrically powered hydrofoiling leisure boats. You have the ability to stay thorough, learn fast, and a willingness to be part of a team with a high working pace and short decision paths. Furthermore, you take pride in your work by being well structured and having great problem-solving skills. Lastly, you think the products we are developing and producing are really cool!

Requirements

- You have experience from working with carbon fiber construction including vacuum infusion.
- You can communicate in English and/or Swedish
- To be physically allowed to work in an environment where you are exposed to dust particles and chemicals.
- To be able to stand for extended periods and work hands-on.


It is meriting if you have experience of working with gelcoat and/or knowledge of how to make a mold.

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 - work is hard but fun.

We are a 70-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.

Start date: As soon as possible

Scope: Full-time

Location: Gåshaga, Lidingö. We will move to new facilities in Rotebro during summer/fall 2022.
