Component Engineer / Mechanical Engineer for Aerospace Operations in Linköping

Description:

Do you want to work with mechanical components in advanced aerospace systems where quality and reliability are absolutely critical? As a component engineer in mechanics, you'll play a central role between procurement, design, and production in aerospace defense operations, where your technical expertise makes a real difference. This is a consulting assignment with long-term focus. About the Role As a component engineer in mechanics, you ensure that mechanical components meet high standards for quality, function, and reliability in advanced aerospace systems. You drive component qualification, investigate deviations and failures, and are responsible for ensuring that component information and technical documentation are correct and up to date. You work in a qualification process where, based on requirements and intended use environment, you assess whether a component is suitable and develop documentation supporting that decision. Components include fasteners, rivets, nuts and bolts, insulation, and hoses, pipes, and couplings. The role alternates between detail-level work—diving into datasheets and documentation—and coordinating and driving dialogue between design, procurement, and production. You have the most contact with suppliers, who also present their product lines. Daily work is structured in Jira. Summary of Responsibilities: Drive qualification of new mechanical components based on requirements and use environment Contribute technical expertise in investigations of deviations and failures, for example due to incorrect delivery Handle material declarations related to regulations, such as permitted substances in a product Develop and maintain technical standards and documentation for how components should be handled and used Ensure that component information is correct, updated, and accessible About You You have strong analytical skills and a structured approach, with clear systems thinking and technical understanding. You can handle and explain complex information in an educational manner, and seamlessly shift between detail focus and broader perspective. Because you sit between production, procurement, and design, you are proactive and communicative—you gather information, put it in context, and take responsibility for your tasks. You also aren't afraid to share your own thoughts and ideas.
