🚀 We’re Hiring: Mechatronics Engineer R&D

The joy of being responsible for something important.. You can experience it too

📍 Location: Helsingborg - Rannarbanan

🕒 Employment Type: Full-Time, Hybrid

💼 Department: Innovation - Freezing Solutions

🔍 About the Role

In Helsingborg, we design and build large-scale industrial equipment used primarily for freezing and chilling of food products. Our systems combine advanced refrigeration technology with air and conveying solutions to create equipment for some of the world’s biggest food producers.

As an Innovation & Development Engineer, you work close to the core of how our industrial freezers are developed; from early concepts and prototypes to solutions proven in operation. You contribute to technical development affecting system design, interfaces, and production performance.

The scope of the role can develop based on your strengths and interests, from defined technical ownership to broader system or technical leadership responsibility.

If you thrive in a technical setting, enjoy structure and ownership, and are energized by managing multiple moving parts at the same time, this role offers a high level of responsibility and impact.

🧠 What You Will Do

• In larger projects, you contribute to and gradually take on technical leadership, working together with a technical project manager and other development engineers.
• In smaller projects, you act as the primary technical owner, taking responsibility for execution and gradually for full project delivery.
• You collaborate closely with engineers across automation, software, mechanical, and electrical domains.
• You contribute to introducing digital tools and machine learning into development, improving energy efficiency, reliability, and system performance.

🛠️ What kind of person are you?

You bring solid technical understanding, work in a structured way, and collaborate well to move complex engineering forward. You enjoy responsibility, want to understand the full system, and are interested in expanding your responsibilities over time.

We encourage each of our 12,000+ employees to bring their unique self to work and aim to make everyone feel recognized, valued and free to explore their potential. We’re committed to creating an inclusive culture and welcoming new colleagues from all walks of life. You will recognize in yourself that you possess a combination of technical understanding, strong organizational skills, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Hard Skills & Experience

• A degree in engineering (mechatronics, software, mechanical, electrical, or a closely related technical field).
• Experience in technical roles, in industrial solutions, or complex engineered systems
• Interest in working with multidisciplinary systems, combining software, mechanical, and electrical elements.
• Comfortable owning technical content, with ambition to grow into broader project delivery responsibility.
• Interest or experience in applying data analysis or machine learning to engineering challenges is a plus.
• Professional proficiency in English, written and spoken. Additional languages are an asset.

Soft Skills & Mindset

• Drives progress through personal ownership and initiative.
• A strong problem‑solver with curiosity for connecting multiple technical disciplines and understanding how they interact at system level.
• Comfortable operating in a dynamic, changing environment
• Structured thinker with attention to detail, without losing sight of the bigger picture
• Collaborative team player who builds trust and transparency across the organization

🚀 What’s in it for you?

There is no single background or predefined profile for this role. Depending on your strengths, interests, and technical focus, there is real opportunity to shape your role over time, whether that means deeper technical ownership, broader systems responsibility or growing into technical leadership.

• The opportunity to take on increasing responsibility in technical development and, where relevant, project-level execution.
• Direct access to production and test facilities, allowing you to prototype, validate, and see your designs operate in a real industrial environment.
• Close, hands-on collaboration with a multidisciplinary R&D team, as well as interaction with global customers and real production.
