Mechanical Design Engineer – Defense Sector

Are you curious, innovative, and motivated to push the boundaries of what is technically possible? Do you want to continue growing within product development and take the next step in your career? Then you might be the one we are looking for!

We are currently experiencing strong demand within the defense industry and are seeking a Design Engineer with experience in mechanical design who is ready to continue developing their expertise together with us.

About the role:

We are looking for a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with extensive experience from environments where mechanical design is subject to high demands on durability, reliability, and manufacturability. You have worked with products and technical systems where quality, tolerancing, and material selection are critical to overall performance and end results.

The role involves working with electronics-related mechanics and system-level design, with a particular focus on machined components. Experience in lightweight design, such as additive manufacturing or composite structures, is considered an advantage. You are accustomed to working at the interface between subsystems and the overall system architecture and have a solid understanding of how mechanical solutions integrate into complex products.

You are highly proficient in CAD tools and capable of producing complete, high-quality drawing documentation with accurate tolerancing. Managing tolerance stack-ups, material selection, and manufacturing and assembly considerations are natural parts of your design process.

We value experience in:

  • Design in PTC Creo and work in Windchill
  • Simulation and analysis
  • Drawing methodology according to Model Based Definition (MBD)
  • ERP systems, preferably IFS
  • Materials engineering, surface treatments, and fastening technologies

As a person, you are confident in your expertise and have a collaborative mindset. You willingly share your knowledge, support colleagues in technical matters, and contribute to a structured and professional way of working. You are detail-oriented, follow established design and development processes, and understand the importance of delivering on time with the right level of quality.

What can we offer?

As an employee with us, you get the opportunity to work across multiple areas with our clients – essentially the best part of being a consultant – but with the security of a single employer! We deliver specialized expertise in areas such as Product Development, UX & Design, PLM, Industrial IT, Production Engineering, and Project Management. Once on assignment, you’ll either be on-site with a client or working on projects from our lovely office, located in the heart of Lindholmen Science Park.

We enjoy doing things together and strive for a good balance between work and leisure. This could include after-work gatherings, events, fitness activities, ski trips, or inspirational talks. We have shared many fun trips together, and in September 2024 we returned from South Africa(!) where we celebrated 10 years as a consulting company!

Professional development has always been important to us. In addition to opportunities for growth through your consulting assignments and various technical trainings, we offer internal programs for personal development.

We also believe that autonomy, involvement, and influence create the motivation needed for you to achieve your personal goals. Our employees choose to work with us because we share this perspective on careers, the future, and life in general. With us, who you are is just as important as what you do. Our goal is to find a structure that gives you the chance to grow and develop into something great together with our clients.

Sigma Group

As part of the Sigma Group, we offer the best of both worlds: stability and an entrepreneurial spirit.

We are the “small company within the large Sigma,” consisting of several companies across different technical expertise areas. Today, we have over 5,000 employees and operate in 14 countries, making us Sweden’s largest privately-owned consulting group.
