Kick-start your engineering career at the forefront of MEMS technology. The Silex Accelerate Program is an exclusive 6-month graduate program designed for ambitious engineers who want to grow fast, learn from industry experts, and work hands-on with cutting-edge MEMS manufacturing. From day one, you will be part of real engineering projects and build a strong foundation for a long-term career at Silex — a company with a clear ambition to expand its presence and manufacturing capabilities in the United States in the near future.
Would you like to know more about Silex and what we do? Read more here.
In this role, you will:
Join a structured 6-month training program combining theory, practice, and mentorship
Receive foundational training in MEMS, engineering, and process integration
Work hands-on as an engineer in Silex’s advanced production environment
Participate in external training in informal leadership
Network with senior leaders through monthly lunches with the COO or CEO
Be evaluated for the opportunity to join the Silex US Transfer Program, which is linked to Silex’s strategy to grow and establish additional MEMS manufacturing capacity in the United States
We are looking for someone who has:
A Master’s degree in a relevant engineering field (e.g. nanotechnology, materials, chemistry, physics, mechanical engineering)
Fluent English; Swedish is a plus
A strong interest in high-tech manufacturing and MEMS
A curiosity about and motivation to contribute to Silex’s future growth in the US with the ambition and willingness to relocate to the US when the opportunities arise in the near future.
Career path after the program
After successfully completing the Accelerate Program, you will have the opportunity for two different paths – either to apply for the Silex US Transfer Program with the plan to have an expat position for 24 months or you will step into a permanent engineering role at Silex. The Accelerate Program is designed to build a strong pipeline of engineers who can support Silex’s long-term growth strategy, including expansion in both Sweden and the United States. The program is designed as a fast track to roles such as Process Engineer, Product Integration Engineer, or Product Manager — with long-term opportunities to grow into technical expert, project leader, or management positions within an increasingly international organization.
What we offer you:
A fast track into a permanent engineering role at a global MEMS leader
Close collaboration with world-class engineers and mentors
Hands-on experience with the latest MEMS technology
Early exposure to an international growth agenda and potential future US initiatives
Strong knowledge exchange with leading global experts

As part of our long-term strategy, Silex is exploring opportunities to expand its manufacturing footprint globally, including ambitions to establish a MEMS fab in the United States. At Silex, you will work side by side with some of the world’s most innovative companies and technology leaders, turning bold ideas into reality.
Additional Information
We are looking for two groups, one that will start in May and one that will start in August. We will therefore have the application open until the 1st of March, and we encourage you to apply as soon as possible. The application will start with a digital interview with Hubert and the first selection will be based on that interview, your academic grades and experience, logic test and personality fit. The process will thereafter be group interview, reference check as well as background and drug tests.
We look forward to your application and to welcoming you to Silex Accelerate —where your engineering career grows alongside Silex’s international ambitions.
