Job description

Every day, we get opportunities to make a positive impact – on our colleagues, partners, customers and society. Together, we’re pioneering the solutions of the future and unlocking the full potential of precious resources. Trusted to act on initiative, we challenge conventional thinking to develop world-leading technologies that inspire progress in vital areas, including energy, food, water and shipping.

As we push forward, the innovative, open spirit that fuels our 140-year-old start-up culture and rapid growth also drives our personal growth. So, as we shape a more resourceful, less wasteful world, we build our careers too.

About the job

Support dual supply chain development and manage the component library.
Assist in creating instruction manuals, spare parts catalogs, and training materials.
Who you are:
Cross-Cultural Collaboration: Ability to work seamlessly across diverse time zones and
cultures (Italy, Sweden, China).
Accountability & Ownership: A self-starter mindset required to take full ownership of
component designs and portfolio maintenance.
Communication & Stakeholder Management: Clear communication skills to bridge the
gap between engineering, purchasing, suppliers, and manufacturing plants.
Adaptability: Flexibility to manage changing priorities when adapting global products to
local market requirements.
Attention to Detail: Precision in maintaining documentation, technical standards, and
component libraries without errors.
What you know:
Degree from higher technical education or equivalent
PLM & PDM Systems: Proficiency in Product Lifecycle Management and Product Data
Management tools (e.g. Teamcenter, Windchill, or Enovia) to manage documentation and
standard processes.
CAD Engineering Design: Strong experience in 3D modeling and 2D drafting (e.g.,
Inventor, Creo, SolidWorks, or CATIA) for product and component design ownership.
BoM & Component Library Management: Experience structuring Bills of Materials
(BoM), component classification, and standardization.
Language Proficiency: Professional English is mandatory for global coordination.

We care about diversity, inclusion and equity in our recruitment processes. We also believe behavioral traits can provide important insights into a candidate's fit to a role. To help us achieve this we apply Pymetrics assessments, and upon application you will be invited to play the assessment games.
