Job description

Build the bridge from innovation to industrial scale

Smart High Tech is transforming breakthrough graphene technology into an industrial reality. Our advanced thermal management materials enable the next generation of AI infrastructure, semiconductors, data centres and high‑performance electronics.

As we move from R&D and qualification to large‑scale production, we are looking for a Production Engineer to play a key role in industrialising our products and building robust manufacturing processes for future growth.

Your Mission

You will act as the technical bridge between R&D and Production, ensuring our products can be manufactured efficiently, consistently and at scale.

Your mission is to:

• Industrialise new products and processes.
• Establish robust manufacturing methods.
• Improve yield, efficiency and process capability.
• Support production scale‑up and operational excellence.

What You Will Do

Industrialisation & NPI

• Support the introduction of new products into production.
• Act as the technical interface between R&D and Production.
• Participate in design reviews with a Design for Manufacturability (DFM) perspective.
• Coordinate validation, qualification and production readiness activities.

Process & Production Development

• Develop and optimise manufacturing processes.
• Define process parameters, work instructions and SOPs.
• Support the implementation of production equipment and tooling.
• Ensure successful transfer of processes into operations.

Data, Systems & Traceability

• Support data collection, traceability and process monitoring.
• Define requirements for MES and production systems.
• Ensure systems support continuous improvement and operational efficiency.

Continuous Improvement

• Analyse process performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Reduce scrap, cycle time and process variation.
• Apply Lean principles and structured problem‑solving methodologies.
• Support sustainable operational improvements.

Equipment & Technical Ownership

• Participate in equipment selection and implementation.
• Support FAT and SAT activities.
• Manage engineering changes and technical improvements.
• Collaborate with Maintenance to ensure equipment reliability.

Key Interfaces

• Production & Operations
• R&D
• Quality & Planning
• Maintenance & Facility
• External suppliers and partners

Who You Are

You combine strong engineering skills with a hands‑on mindset and a passion for building efficient production systems. You enjoy solving technical challenges, improving processes and working across functions to drive results.

Qualifications

• Degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing or Production Engineering.
• Experience in Production Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering or Industrialisation.
• Experience supporting new product introductions and process development.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes and production environments.
• Experience with process validation, documentation and continuous improvement.
• Fluent English, written and spoken.

Meritorious

• Experience from semiconductor, electronics, advanced materials, battery or other high‑tech manufacturing industries.
• Experience with MES, automation and data‑driven manufacturing.
• Knowledge of FAT, SAT and engineering change management.
• Experience from scale‑up or fast‑growing manufacturing environments.
• Swedish and/or Mandarin language skills.

Why Join Smart High Tech?

This is a role for someone who wants to build, not maintain. You will help transform world‑leading technology into industrial‑scale production while working alongside leading scientists, engineers and industry experts. Your work will directly influence how future AI infrastructure and advanced electronics are manufactured.

What Success Looks Like

Within 12 months, you have:

• Successfully industrialised new products.
• Established scalable and robust manufacturing processes.
• Improved yield, throughput and process capability.
• Contributed to the next phase of Smart High Tech's industrial growth.
