Job description

Turn complex industrial challenges into manufacturable reactor solutions

We build industrial liquid processing technology that operates in pharmaceutical labs, nuclear decommissioning sites, and industrial plants across 40+ countries. We're based in Umeå, northern Sweden. Small team. Real problems. Global impact.

The problem this role solves

Our pipeline is expanding: nuclear decommissioning systems, pharmaceutical scale-ups, custom industrial reactors. The constraint isn't demand, it's our capacity to translate complex specs into validated, manufacturable products fast enough.

What success looks like in 12 months

Concepts moved from rough spec to validated prototype. Recurring manufacturing issues solved systematically. Product handovers happen smoothly with complete documentation, no firefighting.

What you bring

• Engineering degree (Mechanical, Chemical, or related) or equivalent experience
• CAD expertise and design for manufacturing understanding
• Practical prototyping and testing capability
• Comfort working in ambiguity, translating incomplete specs into testable solutions

How we work

We're curious, innovative but grounded, and move fast. Decisions happen close to the work. Outcomes matter more than process theater. We're down to earth, no egos, no bullshit. If something's broken, we say so and fix it.

This suits someone who treats constraints as design parameters, not obstacles. If you get energised translating vague challenges into working industrial systems, this might be your role.

Why this role matters

Direct impact on products solving real industrial problems, nuclear waste processing, pharmaceutical production, water treatment. Your designs go into reactors operating worldwide. You'll shape product strategy in a team small enough that your voice matters.

The context

Umeå, northern Sweden, a university city where engineering mindset meets practical outdoor culture. Long winters. Pragmatic problem-solving. Small team where your work matters immediately.
