Senior Composite Manufacturing Engineer

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 fly 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 are venturing into public transport with the revolutionary foiling P-30 ferry, built for the city of Stockholm.

Production will take place in our factory in Stockholm, where a 50-strong, multinational team of experts within dynamic modelling, hardware design, hydrodynamics, control theory, machine learning and structural engineering work to build the next generation of waterborne transport.

We are now looking for a highly motivated Senior Composite Manufacturing Engineer to support Candela’s growth ambitions. You will be the composite manufacturing expert for Candela’s composite processes and cost effectiveness.

Core responsibilities

- Decide on the raw materials, technical specifications, and production methods for all carbon/glass fiber composite production lines.
- Further develop the composite production processes at Candela.
- Solve technical issues that occur during daily operations with a high focus on carbon and glass fiber part production.
- Develop and implement quality control systems suitable for composite parts and drive our cost-effectiveness programs.
- Ensuring manufacturing processes, equipment, and products comply with safety standards and legal regulations.
- Evaluate and test existing manufacturing processes and identify areas for improvement.
- Research and test new processes, equipment, tools, and raw materials.
- Assist product launches through manufacturing instructions and tool design.
- Train and guide technicians to ensure high quality and safe production.


To be successful in the role you need:

- Master's degree within disciplines such as Engineering, Manufacturing, or equivalent combination of education and experience to perform at this level
- You have 5+ years’ experience in a similar role and consider yourself a composite expert.
- You are knowledgeable about composite production methods, with a focus on vacuum infusion and are able to select correct gelcoat, chemicals and fabrics for both carbon and glass fiber products.
- You are skilled in composite manufacturing methods and familiar with the industry landscape.
- Experience with gelcoat manufacturing is a strong plus.
- You have the ability to rapidly assimilate and synthesize complex information while often changing direction due to new insights
- You are a perseverant person with a goal-oriented and analytical mindset.
- You have experience in shopfloor environments.
- Experience with best practice methods of production techniques and productivity improvements through automation is a plus
