Job description

Want to shape the future of waterborne transport and join a world-class team?

Candela is the global leader in electric hydrofoil vessels. Since 2014, we’ve gone from building our first premium electric speedboat in a small Stockholm workshop to delivering game-changing vessels around the globe. The Candela P-12 is our latest innovation - the world’s first electric hydrofoil ferry is not just operating in Stockholm, but now attracting orders from around the world.

Our boats “fly” thanks to computer-guided underwater wings under the hull made of lightweight carbon fiber. The wings lift the vessel above the water, which results in cutting energy use by up to 80%, while offering zero emissions and a far better passenger experience than traditional diesel vessels.

And that’s exactly why we do this. Our mission is clear: to speed up the transition to fossil fuel–free lakes and oceans. You can be part of the amazing team in Candela now! We are looking for an Electrical Manufacturing Engineerto support Candela’s future growth ambitions.

The Role

We are looking for an Electrical Engineer for Candelas Manufacturing Engineering team. You will take ownership of the serial production implementation of a multitude of electrical subsystems such as HMI Controls, High Voltage and Low Voltage Distribution, Low Voltage Cabin System, Navigation systems etc. This is a hands-on role — you’ll design processes, plan and document, but also install and test systems yourself. You’ll ensure that systems are robust, serviceable, and seamlessly integrated within Candela’s electric hydrofoiling vessels. This role involves close cross-functional collaboration with Research & Development, Production and Purchasing to turn R&D designs into reliable, Serial producible processes and designs.

Your core responsibilities will include

• Lead the development of electrical and electronic systems build processes and assembly processes to series- and project-build production readiness.
• Collaborate closely with Research & Development to ensure product designs are optimized for manufacturability and long-term production stability.
• Drive technical evaluations at system level, balancing performance, cost, risk, and production constraints.
• Develop and review technical documentation such as schematics, work instructions, MBOMs, wiring diagrams, test specifications, and production documentation.
• Participate in technical reviews, verification activities, risk analyses, and root-cause investigations.
• Collaborate closely with production to ensure smooth industrialization and continuous improvement of electrical systems and manufacturing processes.
• Ensure all electrical installations strictly adhere to specified compliance standards.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship within the electrical production domain.

Requirements

• Experience leading industrialization of electrical and electronic systems from concept to production.
• Strong background in electrical systems and electronics, including system design and integration.
• Proven experience working closely with R&D and production of machines or complex industrial products.
• Experience producing and reviewing structured technical documentation for industrial products.
• Experience in regulated industries with high requirements on safety, reliability, and compliance.
• M.Sc. or B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Marine Engineering or equivalent.
• 5+ years of experience in electrical and electronics development and/or industrialization.
• Fluent in English

It would be preferred if you have

• Experience of working with cad systems, preferably Catia
• Experience working with PCB-based electronics, with the ability to review designs and drive architectural decisions (hands‑on layout experience not required).
• Genuine interest in building things.
• Background in maritime, automotive, aerospace, or industrial equipment

What we are looking for

You thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment while maintaining a strong focus on quality and attention to detail. You are goal‑oriented, analytical, and persistent in achieving results, using a structured approach to solve challenges and drive continuous improvement. As a collaborative and empowering leader, you build trust, foster accountability, and create an environment where individuals and teams can perform at their best.
