Electronics Designer

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 flies 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-12 ferry, built for the city of Stockholm.

We are now looking for an Electronics Designer to join us and support Candela’s growth ambitions.


Core responsibilities

We build most of our electronics in-house and are constantly innovating, updating, and developing our electronics. Now we want to grow our Hardware/Software team with more great and inspired people. Together with committed and highly focused colleagues, you will join us in our mission to make the best, smartest and most innovative electronics in the world. The team also manages embedded software, data ingestion, APIs as well as mobile apps and web interfaces to support our boats.

Tasks will range from updating schematics and adapting layouts for better EMC performance to designing new sensor systems and finding missing HW components on the spot market. Examples of your responsibilities includes:

- Electronics system design.
- Running updates to our existing PCBs.
- Schematics and layout.
- Interface with PCB manufacturers, distributors, and testing facilities.
- Hardware testing and troubleshooting.
- Evaluating new components and technologies.


To be successful in the role you probably:

- Have more than 3 years of experience in electronics design.
- Have a master in a relevant field such as embedded systems or electronics.
- Like to learn new tools and keep up to date with the latest technology.
- Work well in a small development team with both independent and collaborative projects.


We believe that you are adaptive and able to deal with many different electronics-related tasks that will inevitably fall into your lap. Having good communication skills is also advantageous when collaborating internally within Candela.

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 are a multinational team with 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 Headquarters in Frihamnen, Stockholm. When needed you will also work at our production facility at Gåshaga, Lidingö. Our production will move to Rotebro, Sollentuna during fall 2022. 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.

Application

The process is ongoing, so send your application in English as soon as it’s ready. Kindly note that we cannot process applications sent via email.

We welcome the opportunity to meet you!
