Test Engineer(s) - Child Products

We are expanding our state of the art Global Test Center in Hillerstorp, Sweden and are looking for new team players to join our great team focusing on Child Products.

We have two open positions and want to meet you who are skilled in either mechanical or textile/chemical testing.
We are looking forward to hearing from you! Welcome with your application!

Thule Group now offers you to join the Engineering team developing products in the very fast growing category Active With Kids (strollers, multifunctional strollers, child bike seats and child carrier backpacks)
In this position you will support our product development projects and R&D-engineers with results and analysis from practical tests and measurements to make sure that our products always meet the level of quality that we expect from them.

In your daily work you will perform practical tests of components and complete products according the highest standards and demands from a local legislation perspective. You will work in close collaboration with our team manager for project testing as well as other team members by planning and following up test results through the development process. You will also play a key role when it comes to creating test plans, translating standards into best practice test methods as well as developing new test methods.

As our new Test Engineer focusing on child products you are a curious seeker of new knowledge and comfortable in challenging set ways of working and old truths. You easily switch between deep analysis of regulation- and standard texts and the hands on approach of testing our products. Naturally you have a great technical interest as well as the ability to communicate and grasp higher level of the technical language. Former experience and proven success of testing is an advantage but most important is your interest in being part of developing world-class and high quality child products. You have an academic degree in Engineering e.g. Mechanical, Mechatronics, Textile or Chemical Engineering. We believe you are fluent in English along with basic understanding of Swedish.

We believe in strong team work both within your own team but also across teams. We strive to be an open and curious organization, sharing our knowledge and inspiring one another. Within Thule Group you will find people who have a passion for the products we make and the outdoor company we are. We share the same values and we like to have fun. All of our employees have a joint responsibility to maintain that spirit and contribute to it.

We are looking forward to hear from you!
