Sheet Metal Forming Specialist

Are you passionate about shaping the future of the manufacturing industry? We are looking for a motivated individual to join our team and collaborate with both Swedish and international companies and research groups.

In this role, you’ll have significant freedom to influence your work, as well as the opportunity to create, manage, and complete research projects and assignments.

About the role
RISE is Sweden's research institute and innovation partner. We need more sharp minds who want to join us in solving some of society's most important and perhaps exciting problems. Our mission unites our different roles, skills and perspectives into a larger task. Together with our customers and partners, we develop competitive solutions that drive sustainable development forward.

In the Manufacturing Processes department, we develop industrial processes that combine quality, performance, sustainability, and productivity from a long-term perspective within forming and joining technology, additive manufacturing, casting, heat and surface treatment. We are often involved at the early idea stages, working with applied concepts and product development.

You are involved in the entire chain from idea generation and formulation of the application/quote to practical planning and implementation. Our work is funded by national funding agencies or as commercial assignments.

Who are you?
You have a PhD in mechanics or physics, or a Master’s in Engineering with extensive research experience. You are interested in research and development and want to be involved in shaping future production. Being able to combine research questions with industrial understanding is central. Furthermore, you are used to work both independently and collaboratively and find it exciting to develop new knowledge and implement it in industrial applications.

You are used to working both practically and theoretically. In our lab, for example, you will carry out tensile tests and Nakajima tests, and then generating input data for FE simulations. You will participate in national and EU projects to further develop both numerical and physical methods of advanced material characterization. You will support customers in solving problems related to sheet metal forming operations, and materials in general. You will be shaping future production in cross-functional teams within all the technical areas of the department and implementing novel cutting-edge AI-technology.

As a person, you are analytical, outgoing, proactive, unprestigious and easy to collaborate with. You are fluent in English in speech and writing and can present results in an easy-to-understand manner, both orally and in writing.

Are we right for each other?
We cannot promise you an easy job, but on the other hand we have many committed and enthusiastic colleagues and many exciting challenges to tackle. However, balance in life is important which is why RISE offers flexible working hours and the opportunity to work remotely up to 40% a week. You will work in a dynamic environment that gives you development opportunities both professionally and personally. At RISE, we want you to succeed and feel good, because then you, together with your colleagues will contribute to a sustainable future and a competitive Swedish industry.
