Mechanical Engineer Safety

Description:

Do you want to work close to the product and influence how advanced technical systems are designed to be safe, robust, and reliable? We are now looking for a mechanical engineer with an interest in safety for a high-tech environment within the defense industry. In this role, you will combine your mechanical engineering interest with a systems perspective and work with products that place extremely high demands on design, strength, and safety. You will become part of an experienced team where you have the opportunity to develop, expand your competence, and work through the entire development chain – from requirements to finished and verified product. Placement can be made in Karlstad or Karlskoga. About the role As a mechanical engineer in safety, you work at the intersection of design, function, and system safety in the development of advanced products, primarily missile systems. The role involves ensuring that technical solutions work safely in practice – both at the component and system level. You are involved throughout the development process, where based on the requirement specification, you analyze how design, material selection, and construction affect product safety. Together with your team, you identify risks associated with mechanical solutions, develop safety requirements, and actively contribute to design decisions to minimize risks from the start. The work also includes participating in tests, verifications, and analyses where you follow up to ensure that the design meets the stated requirements. You work closely with other engineers in areas such as mechanics, strength, electronics, and software, which gives you a broad understanding of how the entire system fits together. This role suits you if you want to work both practically and analytically, and if you want to take a greater overall grasp of how mechanical systems function in complex and safety-critical products. You will receive a structured introduction and support from experienced colleagues, which provides good opportunities to grow into the role and develop further. Your profile We are looking for someone who has a genuine interest in technology and who thrives in environments where complex systems, accuracy, and safety are crucial factors. You work methodically, take responsibility for your work, and have a desire to understand both details and the big picture. You appreciate working long-term and following a product through the entire development process – from requirement specification to verified solution. As a person, you are flexible, solution-focused, and have an easy time collaborating in a group. You are comfortable asking for support and taking feedback from more experienced colleagues. The ability to identify risks, see connections, and make well-considered technical assessments is important for success in this role.
