Our employees are the driving force of the company and seek to move it forward towards the goal of being number one in our industry. We encourage our employees to work hard, and play harder. We allow and promote independent thinking; we seek to act as one, to be always open, and to think big!

Axis is now looking for an experienced Project Manager positioned in our Research & Development organization focusing on creating new video products.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?
As Project Manager in the New Video Products department you will be leading one or several projects in parallel, on the cutting edge of network video technology. These product development projects include software, electronics and mechanical development from idea to final product. The project ends when the product is successfully running in volume production, meaning that you are also responsible for coordinating industrialization.

Your main tasks and responsibilities will be to:

* Work with our Product Management team to refine product ideas and requirements
* Lead the project team towards successful goal completion, including project management activities like planning, specifying and following up project progress
* Actively look for solutions, including technical ones, and drive decision making
* Look for synergies and manage dependencies on other projects
* Dare to set tough, but yet realistic schedules and inspire the team to succeed
* Fight for your project’s success and strive to meet tollgate deadlines
* Contribute to our processes improvement efforts in the Project manager forum

In our fast-paced, innovative, team-oriented culture characterized by openness you will have plenty of opportunities to grow professionally and as an individual.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We are looking for a Project Manager with an educational background in engineering; preferably with a master’s degree in relevant subjects, e.g. Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering. The right candidates have an interest in product development and 3-5 years of experience from managing development projects. It is considered an extra plus if previous experiences involve a mix of electronics, software and mechanics. Having an interest for all steps of the product development cycle is also important: from refining ideas into requirements specifications to getting all the details in place for the final product.

The role as project manager is collaborative and requires the ability to interact with many people in and outside the organization. Apart from the above, we believe the position requires a creative, flexible, driven and goal-oriented person with excellent social skills enabling a good team spirit and good performance in the projects.

You communicate easily in both Swedish and English, verbally and written. Any additional languages are a plus.

THE TEAM
The New Video Product department consists of several teams, each focusing on a type of network product, such as Fixed Dome or Fixed network cameras. These teams develop the network video products and accessories from idea to mass production using Axis technology platforms. The typical team member has a master's degree in computer science or electronics and works in roles such as software engineer, technical lead, technical expert, camera designer, project manager or line manager. Our goal is to efficiently run product development projects and deliver products to the market with high quality to strengthen Axis' market leading position.
