• A role where your PCB expertise matters—from technical pre studies and new designs to maintaining products in production.
• Variety beyond the layout: combine hands‑on design with manufacturer collaboration, ECAD system maintenance and process improvement.
• Flexible working hours.
• The opportunity to shape how we work: help develop PCB design processes and work instructions, putting your experience into practice beyond individual projects.
• A place in our Hardware and Mechanical Engineering team in Gothenburg, where your specialist knowledge contributes to product development and ongoing improvements.
• Technical challenges that draw on your experience—and give you opportunities to keep learning through development work, pre‑studies and production support.
