We are looking for a skilled and motivated Manufacturing Engineer to support the development, optimization, and continuous improvement of automotive assembly and production processes.

The role focuses on ensuring robust, efficient, and high-quality manufacturing operations within a heavy-duty engine assembly environment. You will work closely with production, maintenance, quality, and engineering teams to improve manufacturing methods, equipment performance, safety, productivity, and overall operational efficiency.

The production environment combines manual assembly operations with automated manufacturing systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, implement, and optimize manufacturing and assembly processes to improve safety, quality, delivery, and productivity.

• Drive continuous improvement initiatives using LEAN manufacturing principles, Kaizen, and structured problem-solving methodologies.

• Improve production equipment, assembly methods, workstation layouts, and manufacturing workflows.

• Support industrialization of new products, production changes, and manufacturing process improvements.

• Perform root cause analysis and implement corrective actions to resolve production disruptions and quality issues.

• Develop, maintain, and update manufacturing documentation, standardized work instructions, and production procedures.

• Collaborate with production, maintenance, quality, and engineering teams to ensure stable and efficient manufacturing operations.

• Support the development, optimization, and troubleshooting of automated production processes and equipment.

• Participate in manufacturing development projects, equipment upgrades, and investment initiatives.

• Identify opportunities to improve workplace safety, ergonomics, equipment utilization, and production efficiency.

• Monitor manufacturing performance and support improvements in quality, delivery precision, and productivity.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Production Engineering, Automation Engineering, or a related technical field.

• Previous experience in manufacturing engineering, production engineering, process engineering, or a similar role within an industrial environment.

• Experience developing or improving manufacturing processes and assembly operations.

• Good understanding of LEAN Manufacturing, continuous improvement, and structured problem-solving methods.

• Experience with root cause analysis, process optimization, and production quality improvement.

• Ability to work effectively with production operators, maintenance teams, quality engineers, and other technical stakeholders.

• Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.

• Good communication skills in Swedish and English.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in automotive manufacturing, preferably engine, powertrain, or mechanical assembly.

• Experience working with automated production and assembly equipment.

• Knowledge of industrial automation, robotics, or automated manufacturing systems.

• Experience in manufacturing industrialization, production line implementation, or new product introductions.

• Familiarity with Kaizen, 5S, LEAN, and continuous improvement methodologies.

• Experience leading or participating in manufacturing development and equipment investment projects.

• Understanding of production ergonomics, workplace safety, and standardized manufacturing processes.
