This is us, your new colleague

We are an experienced engineering team from different areas cross-functionally in chassis, cab, electrical hardware and software. Within the Special Vehicles department, we also have chief project managers and vehicle and geometrical architects, which means we can take on really challenging development tasks together.  Our way of working is based on continuous improvements, developing and implementing innovative ways of working to secure high performance in time to market, quality, and reduced development costs for all our products. Our culture is based on trust, accountability, business mindset and we all share the same belief that everything is possible if we do it together. 

Role Description

You will be part of a team responsible for the electrical engineering activities within Special Vehicles Defense Engineering.

• Understand the customer requirements and translate them into a design solution.
• Lead and drive the electrical system design activities from concept to industrialization for Defense vehicles products
• As the Defense business is tender driven, meaning that you need to be able to quickly adapt and sometimes deliver solutions with short lead times
• Lead development tasks in cooperation with both internal experts and external partners and suppliers 
• Drive the technical dialogue with engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, suppliers, partners and most importantly our customers
• Develop and share acquired competence and provide technical advice
• Contribute to continuous improvement activities regarding way of working, business development, innovation and together build the team spirit

What’s in it for you?

For success in this role, we expect you to have:

• University degree in Electrical Engineering or similar technical field of study
• At least 7 years of relevant experience in Automotive EE development

• Know-how on communication protocols like Ethernet, CAN, LIN etc.
• Extensive knowledge of design engineering work within the chassis area of trucks, or similar areas within the automotive sector

• Fluent in written and spoken English 

You are curious and thrive to take the lead with courage and integrity and feel comfortable working autonomously. You have the ability to build trust and to manage networking across the engineering-, manufacturing-, purchasing and sales and marketing organizations.

We find that well balanced teams increase group dynamics, creativity, and our overall efficiency. We are therefore actively working to establish teams that will take maximum advantage of the strength inherent to differences in knowledge, experience, age, gender, and nationality, among others.

If you have an open mindset to new innovative ways of working and get energized by working close to the customer and constantly evolving to meet their needs, you might be our next colleague. Are we a perfect match?

We promise you some truly exciting technical challenges and the opportunity to join a team of skilled colleagues. We are eager to learn from you and you will get fantastic opportunities to learn and develop with us. So, if you are a person who is flexible, who sees challenges as something positive and is ready to act? Then we hope to hear from you.
