- Developing methods for relevant areas
- Troubleshooting hardware and software, and preparing test objects and measurement technology, if needed, together with customers or rig managers
- Mentoring and developing junior technicians

You'll report to the Chief of Powertrain Testing. The location is in Gothenburg, at our new facility in Säve. Some travel occurs a few times a year.

Who Are You?
To succeed in this role, you have at least a technical high school education, but most likely a post-secondary engineering degree or equivalent work experience. You have a minimum of 10 years of experience and industry knowledge within the automotive sector, which has provided you with knowledge of typical test objects for an operation like SEEL's. You're open to conducting basic training and have practical experience in electrical work and soldering.

As a person, you're attentive, proactive, and responsible, with a strong motivation to solve problems. You have the ability to switch between different tasks quickly and are skilled at prioritizing.
