About the role
In the role of Test Cell Engineer, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining rig functionality. You will manage the rig's uptime, performance, and be responsible for quality assurance. Your main tasks will include operating and developing the driveline rig, as well as supporting your colleagues in their work.

You will develop tests, processes, and methods and participate in the preparation and installation of test objects. Workplace safety is of great importance, and you will contribute to ensuring processes that are both safe and of high quality. You will be part of the initial operator team at SEEL, which is why we need you as a senior to guide and develop future colleagues as we grow and expand. Some of your work will involve close collaboration with our customers, and you will play a crucial role in delivering a positive customer experience. You will also have contact with SEEl's management team to build and further develop the company together.

You will report to the Director Powertrain Testing. The position is located in Nykvarn, at our new facility. Occasional travel may be required 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 several years of relevant experience and industry knowledge in the automotive sector, which has given you knowledge of typical test objects for an operation like SEEL's. You have a good understanding of the mechanical and electrical properties of a driveline rig.

As a person, you are attentive, proactive, responsible, and highly motivated to solve problems. You have good teaching skills and are skilled at training junior rig operators and customers. Good knowledge of English and Swedish, both spoken and written, is a requirement, as well as a B driver's license. C and D driver's licenses and a forklift license are advantageous but not mandatory.

Are we a good match? 
At our place, passionate problem solvers come together to tackle some of the world's most important, and perhaps most enjoyable, challenges. We can't promise you an easy job, but what we can promise you is a group of dedicated colleagues and some truly exciting societal challenges to address. With us, you have the opportunity to make a real difference. Welcome to the future of electromobility.
