Test and verification of new solutions
Producing documentation
Main interfaces and stakeholders: Colleagues in R&D, sourcing, product management and production.

Qualifications:
University degree in mechanical engineering
Several years of experience in the development and engineering of industrial products
Solid knowledge in electro-mechanics, motion mechanics, materials and structural strength, tribology, and standards and regulatory requirements
Experience with gears, transmissions, mechanisms, and acoustic design is a plus
Knowledge of European industry standards and regulations is a plus
Knowledge and experience in using CAD and simulation software, like Solidworks, ProE, Autodesk Inventor, ADAMS, MATLAB, SIMPACK, ANSYS, ABAQUS, COSMOS
Proven ability to work collaboratively in a cross-functional team environment
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, fluency in English; Swedish and other languages are beneficial
Be a passionate, self-propelled engineer with a curious mindset, be well-versed in design tools and methods, be comfortable moving outside the zone of known paradigms, combine creativity with structure and discipline depending on the situation, and have great collaboration skills.

Location:
The position could be located either in Hudiksvall, Vallentuna or Kista: frequent traveling to Hudiksvall customer innovation center will be needed for face-to-face collaboration and access to the laboratory.
At HIAB, we value creativity, innovation, and a passion for motion technology. If you're an experienced Engineer with a strong background in motion mechanics, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and become part of our growing team of experts at HIAB.
