What you will do:

• Lead and develop a team of service readiness engineers — including hiring, onboarding, training, performance management, career development discussions, and establishing a regular cadence of 1:1s and staff meetings.
• Oversee and prioritize daily operations of the CIBP engineering team to ensure on-time delivery (OTD) and high quality of all service deliverables across NPD tollgates and LCM activities (~180 LCM tasks/month organization-wide).

• Manage lifecycle activities including service documentation updates, field modifications, engineering change orders, calibration procedures, and spare parts updates in collaboration with Service Operations, R&D, and Manufacturing.
• Act as Subject Matter Expert (SME) on all service aspects relating to the assigned CIBP product portfolio, serving as the primary interface between central functions (R&D, Manufacturing, QA) and regional service teams.

Who you are:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Life Sciences, Physics, or a related technical field — or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Multiple years of relevant work experience in service engineering, field service, or product development within the life sciences or medical device industry.
• Demonstrated experience leading or supervising technical teams, including hiring, onboarding, performance management, and talent development.
• Experience working in cross-functional NPD or product lifecycle project teams, meeting tollgate deadlines and delivering against defined specifications.
• Working knowledge of quality management systems (e.g., ISO 13485, GMP/GxP, Veeva QMS) and design control processes.
• Fluency in English (written and spoken); Swedish language skills are a plus.

It would be a plus if you also possess:
