About the role

As a Design Engineer at Haldex, you will become a key person in our dynamic R&D team, working with colleagues and internal stakeholders around the world as part of the global SAF/Holland group.

In the role, development of entirely new products is varied with product maintenance within our product group for valves and actuators. Part of your role is project-oriented where you are an important part of various project teams, but you will also work with future concepts and innovation ideas that are not yet part of any specific project. As a Design Engineer with us, you will also work cross-functionally with other teams in different countries.

Your mission

• Development of new products primarily within the product group valves and actuators.
• Develop design solutions that meet set requirement specifications.
• Evaluate design solutions related to supplier processes and the internal assembly process, with a focus on total cost.
• Support product development all the way from idea to manufacturing and future maintenance.
• Participate in technical discussions with suppliers and customers.
• Create internal technical requirement specifications for products.
• Support the development of new test methods for new design elements and subsystems.
• Improve and further develop existing products.
• Understand and work in accordance with the Haldex Change Management Process.

Other responsibilities

Your daily work includes reviewing product requirements from customers as well as creating and updating technical specifications such as drawings, models, and calculations. You continuously analyze results from performed tests and calculations, and take swift action when errors are detected at both the product and process levels. Furthermore, you support quality-related activities – including root cause and failure mode analyses according to, for example, the 8D method, while following and contributing to continuous improvements of Haldex's design-related processes.

Who are you?

• Education: At least a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent.
• Experience: At least five years of experience working with pneumatics.
• Knowledge: Good knowledge of materials as well as knowledge of manufacturing methods and tolerance analysis using software or other methodologies.
• Software: Good knowledge of Microsoft Office.
• Language: Fluent English in both speech and writing.

Furthermore, as an applicant, you have documented and good experience working in CAD systems, preferably Creo. It is also meritorious if you have knowledge of PDM systems as well as basic knowledge of MathCAD and FEA software (Finite Element Analysis), where experience with ANSYS Workbench is particularly appreciated.

We are looking for you who have at least ten years of experience in design and/or validation. It is highly meritorious if you have your background in the automotive industry, with a particular focus on heavy trucks and buses.

As a person

You are an ambitious and curious person who is passionate about technology and exploring possibilities in tools and equipment. You are driving, motivated to complete your tasks, and have a structured way of working. Furthermore, you are used to working in cross-functional teams, are service-oriented, humble, unpretentious, and a natural team player.
