We are looking for a Material and Test Engineer who wants to stand at the forefront as next-generation fiber composites take form. Here, you won't just help develop and industrialise breakthrough materials - you will see how they perform across the entire value chain: from lab and advanced analysis to finished components in production and final products.
This is the role for you if you want to understand how materials behave, how we can push their limits, and what it takes to create the sustainable, lightweight and high-performance solutions that will shape tomorrow's society.
About the role
You will be part of our Development team, focusing on material development within fiber composites. The role is hands-on, analytical and development-driven, where testing is not the end goal, but a tool to drive material performance forward.
Our materials are not developed in isolation - they are shaped into components that are used directly in end products, either as standalone solutions or as parts of our customers' final products.
You will
Plan, execute and follow up on material testing (R&D and QC)
Perform mechanical, physical and chemical testing of fiber composites
Ensure traceability, structure and quality in test data
Analyse results and link them to material behaviour and process parameters
Contribute to the development and optimisation of materials and manufacturing processes
Connect material properties to function and requirements in finished components and products
Collaborate with Development and Production to implement improvements
Participate in technical customer and research projects
Work in accordance with applicable quality and safety standards in lab and testing environments
You will operate at the intersection of material, process and performance.
Examples of technical challenges you will work on
How material properties influence function and performance in finished components
How variation in materials and process parameters affects mechanical properties
How testing methods can be improved to better reflect real-world use
How to ensure reproducibility from lab to production
How material behaviour changes during scale-up
Your impact in the role
Product performance and quality
The ability to scale production
The speed at which new material solutions can be industrialised
We are looking for someone who wants more than just running tests
You want to understand the mechanisms behind results and use data to improve both materials and processes.
We believe you have
A Bachelor's degree or higher in Materials Science, Chemistry or similar
Experience working in a lab or testing environment
Experience with material testing and data analysis
Meritorious:
Experience with fiber composites or polymer materials
Experience in product development or scaling
How you succeed in this role
We are a scaleup - which means we don't have all the answers, and you will be part of building them.
You are:
Technically curious - you want to understand mechanisms, not just results
Structured in complexity - you create order and traceability where it is lacking
Data-driven - you trust data, but you also challenge it
Hands-on - comfortable both in the lab and in analysis
Self-driven - you see what needs to be done and take action
And importantly:
You thrive in an environment where the pace is high, direction may shift, and structure is built while we move forward. The role requires strong personal drive and the ability to maintain momentum even when not all pieces are in place.
What does success look like in this role?
After 6-12 months, you have:
Built a strong understanding of our materials and testing methods
Contributed to tangible improvements in materials or processes
Ensured high quality and traceability in test data
Become a natural link between Development and Production
About us
We are a manufacturing company in strong growth, developing and industrialising fiber composite materials that are shaped into components - either as finished products or as parts of our customers' end products.
Our ambition goes beyond replacing materials - we are building solutions for a more resilient society.
This means developing materials and products that:
Reduce dependency on fossil and vulnerable value chains
Can be produced and scaled using stable and accessible raw materials
Combine high performance with long-term sustainability
We operate at the intersection of:
Materials science
Production and industrialisation
Resilience and sustainable transformation
Employment & conditions
Permanent employment, full-time
Location: Tibro, Sweden
Travel may be required
Compensation & benefits
Salary is set individually based on competence, experience and responsibility
Occupational pension and insurance
Wellness allowance
Opportunities for professional development
Potential employee stock options
Does this sound like the right role for you?
We look forward to your application.
Application process
Selection is ongoing.
We apply a structured recruitment process:
Screening based on application and responses to selection questions
Initial interview
In-depth interview and work-related assessment (e.g. case/personality test)
Reference checks
We provide continuous feedback throughout the process.
