You will be a part of a multidisciplinary project team, consisting of approx. 5 people. Together as a team you will succeed to take this world class product to the next step.
You will be involved in the development process, to complete, finalise and verify the product before it goes into the stage of preclinical trials.
Your contribution to the team will be to support the project group with your fine mechanical skills and knowledge.

You could be working remotely from anywhere in northern Europe for most of the time but need to make yourself available to come onsite in Lund for some weeks, to meet and work together with the dedicated project team.

Your profile
We are looking for a mechanical engineer with hands-on experience from fine mechanics.
