Production Engineer Lead

We’re looking for a senior, hands-on Production Engineering Lead to take full ownership of production scale-up, quality and manufacturing architecture - and to become a core member of the leadership team.

This is a full-time, on-site leadership role in Stockholm. Combining meaningful equity with a competitive salary.

Responsibilities

* Scale production from early-stage to full production, you’ll own the entire production system end-to-end - not just “support” it

* Build quality control, test plans and failure analysis workflows

* Define the manufacturing approach: processes, tooling strategy, fixtures, test architecture, supplier setup

* Establish quality control processes and testing procedures

* Build engineering workflows, what you build becomes the standard operating model and factory playbook.

* Lead and grow the engineering function over time (manage current engineers and recruit as needed)

* Direct collaboration with founders on roadmap, priorities and trade-offs

* Ensure alignment between product development, sales and operations

Qualifications

* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics or related field)

* 5+ years of experience in hardware product development (mechatronics, robotics, IoT or similar fields)

* Proven track record scaling hardware products from prototype to production

* Strong hands-on technical skills, comfortable in designing, prototyping and troubleshooting

* Experience managing and growing engineering teams

* Bonus if you’ve worked with: connected devices, embedded systems, AI-powered hardware

* Knowledge of manufacturing processes and tooling for mass production (injection molding, 3D printing, electronics assembly, fixtures, molds)

* Bonus if you’ve owned regulatory/compliance (CE marking, safety certifications)

* Startup/scale-up experience is a plus - you’ve built under uncertainty and delivered anyway

* English fluency

What success looks like (first 6-12 months)

* Production is stable, predictable and scalable

* Quality metrics are defined, measured and improving

* Test/QA is systematic

* Suppliers/tooling/processes are set up for scale

* Engineering cadence is tight and cross-functional alignment is working
