The team's nature is very much about system integration and installations of hoses, cables and auxiliary equipment.
In this role, you will combine technical leadership with people management, resource planning and cross-functional collaboration. Your team will work with both customer-specific Engineering-to-Order solutions and strategic R&D projects for next-generation drivetrain/hydraulics/operator environment solutions.
Your key responsibilities

Ensure engineering deliveries meet agreed technical scope, quality requirements and timelines.
Develop and quality-assure engineering methods and tools in line with safety and regulatory requirements.
Mitigate technical risks and ensure functional machine safety and system compliance within your area.
Work closely with Supply, Service, Product Support and other stakeholders to ensure efficient engineering support.
Drive knowledge sharing, continuous improvement and competence development in line with future product and technology roadmaps.
Work environment responsibility.
What should you bring?
As a person, you take an analytical and fact-based approach, communicate clearly, and can combine a broad strategic view with attention to detail. You enjoy working in a cooperative, cross-functional environment and have a curious, can-do mindset.
To succeed in this position, you also have:
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automotive Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
Minimum 3 years of experience in people management, such as an Engineering Manager, Team Leader, or Technical Project Manager.
Minimum 5 years of experience in mechanical design, specifically for heavy equipment, material handling, lifting applications, or automotive industries. Mobile equipment experience is a plus.
Proficiency with modern CAD software, PLM systems, and risk-mitigation tools like FMEA.
Extensive experience with physical architecture, packaging, and the installation of hoses, cables, and auxiliary equipment.
Solid understanding of drivetrain systems, fluid power/hydraulic systems, vehicle ergonomics, and driver environment layout.
Practical knowledge of functional safety, machine safety standards (e.g., ISO 13849, ISO 26262), and automotive regulatory compliance, is appreciated.
Fluency in spoken and written English; fluent Swedish is a strong advantage.
Why join us?
You will be part of a global company with strong engineering expertise, where collaboration, continuous learning and practical innovation are part of everyday work.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to influence solutions that are central to the performance, safety and reliability of Lift Trucks.
