Job description

About the role

Based at Atos Medical’s site in Hörby, Sweden, you will lead a team of test engineers and consultants and guide how testing supports innovation projects from early concept through verification. Together, you will define, develop, and implement new test methods and test setups that generate robust data, support sound design decisions, and build strong verification strategies for innovation projects. You will collaborate broadly across R&D, product management, quality, and other key stakeholders to strengthen our testing capabilities and ensure that test strategies are aligned with project and business needs.

Your main focus will be to lead the team in the development of new test methods for innovation projects, ensuring test approaches are scientifically sound, practical to implement, and aligned with project needs. You will guide your team in test strategy, method development and validation, design verification, and documentation. You will prioritise resources across projects, support stakeholders with technical input, and drive processes, standards, and QMS within test engineering.

Responsibilities

In this role, you will

• support and develop your team
• create clarity around priorities and deliverables
• foster a collaborative environment where technical curiosity and continuous improvement thrive

At the same time, you will stay close to the technical work, contributing hands‑on to selected testing, problem‑solving, and evaluation together with the team.

The role combines team responsibility with strong technical contribution, and you will act as a senior sparring partner in innovation projects where thoughtful test design and hands‑on execution are both essential. This is a great opportunity to combine technical expertise with team responsibility and contribute directly to innovation in medical device development.

About you

You bring strong technical insight into test engineering and method development, and you are motivated by the opportunity to create structure, direction, and engagement around a specialised team. We welcome candidates with strong informal leadership skills or senior technical experience who are ready to step into a people leadership role. Just as importantly, you enjoy staying close to the technical work and contributing actively to testing activities when needed. You thrive in an innovation‑driven R&D environment where collaboration and scientific thinking are essential.

Moreover, we imagine that you

• hold a degree in engineering or another relevant technical discipline
• bring solid experience in test engineering, method development, statistics and laboratory‑based work
• have leadership experience, preferably from managing technical specialists or engineers, or demonstrate clear potential and motivation to take on people leadership
• have experience from medical device development, regulated industries, or a similar product development environment
• have a structured approach to prioritisation, stakeholder management, and team development

What We Offer

You will join a collaborative and friendly workplace where your work makes a real impact. We offer employment conditions through a collective agreement, flexible working hours, and benefits that support your wellbeing and everyday life. These include an Epassi lunch benefit, a wellness allowance, and breakfast at the office several times a week.
