Mechanical Design Engineer Comfort IKEA of Sweden

Once upon a time TUSTNA, EKTORP, STRANDMON and all their Comfort siblings in the IKEA range were born, or the idea of these products at least! Behind our whole range there is a lot of hard work from our many skilled Engineers, and a lot of them started their career just like a Mechanical Design Engineer (MDE). Working as an MDE is a good way to get to know the IKEA way of working and be close to the core of our product development! 

The IKEA product range is designed to be functional, great looking, affordable, of good quality and sustainable. This is what we call Democratic Design and it´s a true team effort to make it happen! Our development teams consist of many different roles, such as Technical Project Leader, Requirement Specialist, Designer etc. And this is where you as a MDE come into the picture as well! 

What is the role all about? 

The MDE is an important player in the team, with responsibility to work with product development and product improvement of running range. This is not just a way of saying. The MDE is one of the roles in our product development teams who is developing, evaluating, and improving physical samples and technical solutions in CAD, so the impact is real and deep. You will be doing this by developing the mechanical design of products from concept sketch to final product.  You will develop and maintain the digital models on a detail level, as well as securing that all mechanical requirements (legal as functional) are covered by the product design. You will work closely with other Engineers in the product development teams, as well as have a close dialogue with the purchasing organisation and suppliers to secure successful product implementation. It will be highly rewarding work. And yes, it will be a lot of fun!
