We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer to join our Crank System group. The team works with design and testing of crank system components for heavy-duty engines, as part of engine development within the Traton R&D.

This role is well suited for someone who is technically curious and motivated to grow - whether your background is mainly in design, testing, validation, or another technical area. If you have the right mindset, analytical approach, and passion for mechanical engineering, we believe you can grow into the role. The work spans from smaller modifications with design to long-term development projects and will give you the opportunity to gain a strong understanding of processes, quality, and safety as you gradually take on more complex responsibilities as your understanding of the products and processes grows.

The position is based in Södertälje, with the possibility to work remotely up to two days per week if the work permits.

• Drive your own technical tasks with responsibility for quality, safety and robustness
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams such as Production (machining and assembly), Purchasing, Material laboratories and other R&D functions within Traton
• Ensure changes are handled correctly through development processes and administrative systems

Who You Are

You are a structured, analytical, and detail-oriented engineer with a strong technical interest. You take accountability for your work and enjoy driving your own assignments while understanding how your decisions affect the full product and process chain.

We believe you have:

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience
• Experience or interest in mechanical design, engine development, testing and validation
• Process understanding and the ability to see the full flow - from a technical change to production and end use
• Experience with CATIA is an advantage, but training can be provided
• Engine knowledge is valued but not a requirement - the right mindset and willingness to learn are key
• A careful and safety-focused approach, where accuracy, analytical thinking, and quality are essential
• The ability to work independently and take ownership, while collaborating cross-functionally
• Professional proficiency in English

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds – your unique experience and perspectives is valuable to us.
