Why is this job right for you?
Because you want to work with digi-physical products and be part of growing and forming Knightec´s design team in Malmö. Just like us, you see the strength that the design process can bring to various fields within mechanics, manufacturing and product development. You want to be part of leading this work with a sustainable, forward-thinking, and holistic approach to combine a human-centered focus with industrial design- and digital expertise.

Since our culture heavily relies on teamwork, you will be part of a creative team where everyone is an important decision-maker.
