Want to help shape the future of waterborne transport and be part of a world-class team?At Candela, we design and build electric hydrofoil boats and ferries with performance previously unheard of in the industry. Our mission is to accelerate the transition to fossil fuel-free lakes and oceans.The Candela P-12 is our latest innovation—the world’s first electric hydrofoil ferry in operation, serving commuters in Stockholm and soon expanding to several other countries. By combining lightweight carbon fiber hulls, sensors, computers, and advanced submerged hydrofoils, our vessels fly above the water, delivering unmatched efficiency compared to conventional diesel ferries.We are now looking for a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to support Candela’s growth ambitions. In this role, you will be working with streamlining the manufacturing of Candela vessels. In close collaboration with Quality, R&D, logistics and production specialists, you will define, build, and continuously develop the flows, processes, and methods used for manufacturing of our vessels (with focus on mech sub-assemblies and assemblies).Your core responsibilities:
Being the main technical responsible for defining and optimizing manufacturing processes within the field of mechanical assemblies and pre-assemblies.
Developing manufacturing processes and flows for efficient high-quality production.
Consulting (among others) Quality, R&D and Strategic sourcing on design for manufacturing topics i.e. optimizing designs for quick and easy manufacturing.
Improvement of Mechanical Engineering and Design For Manufacturing reviews (e.g. designing and sourcing of tools, jigs, fixtures etc.).
Creating MBOMs, equipment requirements, PFMEAs and assembly instructions etc.
Leading non-conformity/deviation handling together with production and R&D.
Coordinating prototyping/test-assemblies, understand and make well-reasoned decisions and trade-offs within the area of expertise.
To be successful in the role:You are a hands-on, experienced professional with a strong background in assembly processes and a keen eye for identifying potential improvements. You communicate effectively with diverse audiences, using clear structure and visuals when needed, and you’re equally skilled at capturing and organizing key information in writing for impactful presentations. You excel at analyzing complex technical problems and working collaboratively to solve them, ultimately creating simple, easy-to-follow assembly instructions.Qualifications:
Master's degree in a relevant field e.g. Manufacturing or Mechanical Engineering
10 years of experience of working within Manufacturing, Mechanical Engineering or similar fields
Ability to communicate fluently in English
Proven experience in creating, developing, and optimizing manufacturing processes
Exceptional technical and analytical skills in Mechanical Engineering, Design for Manufacturing topics
Experience with leading continuous improvement efforts and complex projects
You feel comfortable using common CAD-tools, preferably CATIA/3DEXPERIENCE
