Examples of work tasks:
• Conduct inspections and evaluations of components manufactured with additive manufacturing (AM)
Interpret and analyze inspection results to contribute to the development of manufacturing processes and materials within additive manufacturing
Collaborate with process development teams to ensure high quality and reliability in manufacturing
Participate in the development of innovative inspection methods for advanced components within the aerospace and space industry.
Analyze inspection data to identify improvement opportunities, optimize processes, and increase understanding of material- and manufacturing-related defects
You will have the opportunity to collaborate with world-leading experts in NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) both within GKN and with external industry partners. There you will learn various NDT methods such as:
X-ray Computed Tomography (CT)
Radiography
Thermography
Ultrasonic Testing
The assignment requires that you undergo a security interview and are approved according to applicable regulations. The assignment also entails requirements for certain citizenship.
Who are you?
We are looking for someone with a master's degree in mechanical engineering, production engineering, industrial economics/industrial technology, physics, or similar field. You have a good understanding of manufacturing processes, including additive manufacturing, and have previous experience developing new NDT processes. If you have experience with CAE tools or knowledge of NDT, this is a merit.
We particularly value your personality and believe you are a flexible and attentive person who enjoys working with others. You have clear and effective communication skills and have a positive attitude toward developing new methods rather than simply using existing solutions.
You are fluent in Swedish and English, both spoken and written.

Here you are encouraged to take your own initiative, test ideas in our prototype workshop, and drive your own work forward. As part of AQ Group, you collaborate with over 9,000 colleagues around the world and have access to AQ Group's over 50 factories.
Skills development is something AQ holds close to heart and therefore invests in customized skills development plans for you as an employee. This gives you the opportunity to grow within your field, broaden your competency base, and prepares you for future challenges.
