Location: Gothenburg, Sweden

Aurora Engineering is looking for an experienced Manufacturing Engineer for an assignment within Manufacturing Engineering at Volvo Cars, supporting the industrialisation of advanced high-voltage battery assembly systems for electric vehicles.

You will lead the mechanical development and verification of automated production equipment, tooling, fixtures, nests, grippers and handling solutions. The focus is on robust mechanical design, equipment interfaces, supplier delivery and production readiness.

Your responsibilities

• Develop and review mechanical concepts for production stations, tooling, fixtures, nests, grippers and handling devices.

• Translate process, product, geometry, safety, maintainability and cycle-time needs into technical equipment requirements.

• Review supplier layouts, 3D concepts, detailed designs, calculations, engineering drawings and interface definitions.

• Ensure equipment provides safe access, ergonomics, serviceability, efficient changeovers, error-proofing and an appropriate replacement-parts strategy.

• Coordinate mechanical interfaces with automation, robotics, controls, utilities, process equipment and facilities.

• Support RFQs, supplier selection, design reviews, manufacturing follow-up, equipment buy-off, installation and commissioning.

• Drive mechanical risk assessments, tolerance reviews and technical issue resolution.

• Support equipment acceptance and handover, documenting deviations and outstanding actions.

You will work closely with manufacturing, process, product, automation and quality teams, as well as equipment suppliers.

Your background

• 5+ years developing automated production equipment and tooling.

• 5+ years reviewing mechanical designs using 3D CAD and engineering drawings.

• 3+ years working with equipment suppliers from concept through commissioning.

• 3+ years working with machine safety, maintainability, ergonomics and tolerance engineering.

• 3+ years in high-volume automated manufacturing industrialisation.

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in a relevant engineering discipline, or equivalent demonstrated professional experience.

You bring senior-level industrialisation experience from automotive, battery manufacturing, electrification or comparable high-volume automated production. You can work independently, take ownership of technical deliverables and collaborate effectively with engineering teams and suppliers.

Additional advantages

• Experience with high-voltage battery assembly equipment.

• Experience with precision handling, joining fixtures, grippers, conveyors or pallet systems.

• Familiarity with CATIA, Teamcenter or equivalent CAD/PLM tools.

• Knowledge of CE conformity, machinery risk assessments and equipment acceptance.

Key deliverables

• Approved tooling and mechanical equipment concepts.

• Mechanical requirements and interface specifications.

• Documented supplier design reviews and action tracking.

• Mechanical risk assessments and mitigation plans.

• Equipment buy-off, installation and commissioning documentation.

• Equipment acceptance and handover packages.
