• Be involved with prototype unit build and testing, and implement improvements in designs

• You will be an integral part of a team of other design engineers, thermal and material specialists, FEA and CFD simulation engineers and industrialization experts

This position is based in Lund, with travel up to 30 days per year.

Who you are
You’re a curious, driven, and enthusiastic problem solver. Your passion for technology is matched by your ability to communicate and engage with others, fostering collaboration and innovation.

• Experience in innovation and technology development.

• Proficiency in 3D CAD (Creo and/or Solid Works).

• Knowledge of mechanical calculations and/or FE-analysis tools is a strong plus.

• Experience with industrial heat exchangers is a strong plus
