Development engineers for Modvion’s wooden wind turbine towers

Modvion develops the next generation of towers for wind turbines, a patented modular construction made of laminated wood. The technology enables wind turbines to reach higher altitudes and increased wind resources. Using laminated wood - nature's carbon fibre - can change the wind industry by enabling efficient logistics for tall wind turbine towers in previously inaccessible locations. All while drastically reducing the carbon footprint from wind power.

At Modvion you get to work with driven, positive, and creative people who inspire each other, united by our purpose of making a real difference for the climate. Come join us and let’s change the wind power industry together!

The role

If picking up the challenge, you will be part of our product development department as a System Owner, where you will have a varied job together with skilled and committed colleagues. You will be responsible for a system in our wind turbine tower and drive the development, from requirement specification and early planning, through validation, until release of production drawings and follow-up and evaluation of production and installation. As our company evolves, your role, responsibilities and deliverables might change with it.

Tasks will include:

- Ownership, design work and validation of components and systems including the full iterative circle, with all steps from idea and concepts development to instructions and certification procedures and review of the end use.

- Collaboration with external suppliers on the specification, design, manufacture, and delivery of developed systems.

- Hands-on work in workshops and at the screen with prototypes, validation, and troubleshooting of technical systems.

- Preparing and reviewing documentation including drawings, instructions and technical specifications.

- Project work and participation in a lot of fun activities with the Modvion teams!

We’re looking for

Someone with an interest in wooden materials and a degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar. You should have a couple of years of industrial engineering experience and a good understanding for the process of taking a system from an idea to reality. Experience from product development projects with full responsibility for a component or system including hardware is an advantage.

It’s a plus if you are familiar with Solid Works or a similar CAD system, 3D modelling can be part of the role but is not the main focus.

As a person you are curious, and you enjoy teamwork. You perform your tasks in an accurate and structured way while addressing uncertainties and change with an open and flexible mind. You also use your curiosity to extend our solid knowledgebase in what can be achieved by using wood in new ways.

First of all we offer a meaningful, challenging, and fun everyday job.

We also offer you:

- Flexibility and freedom with your responsibilities, we trust our team to do a great job

- Planning your daily work to fit with your life

- Gym and table tennis at work

- Health and wellness allowance ‘Friskvårdsbidrag’

- Team activities and more!

The position is based at our office and HQ in Gothenburg with the opportunity to work from home when needed.
