Mechanical Engineering Lead

In short

This role leads mechanical development of thermal cameras and accessories at a hardware engineering group in Täby, Sweden, taking technical responsibility across the full product development chain from concept to industrialization and production. The company develops world-leading IR/thermal imaging technology and produces it in-house, working closely with industrial design, electronics, software, manufacturing, and external partners. It requires solid experience in mechanical product development (injection-molded plastic, cast metal, machined components), CAD skills such as SolidWorks, a mechanical engineering degree, team-lead experience, and fluent Swedish and English. Due to export control regulations (ITAR/EAR), the hire must be eligible to obtain relevant export permits.

Develop technology that makes a difference
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated provides enabling technologies for industrial growth markets that require advanced technology and high reliability. These markets include aerospace and defense, factory automation, air and water quality environmental monitoring, electronics design and development, oceanographic research, deepwater oil and gas exploration and production, medical imaging and pharmaceutical research.
We are looking for individuals who thrive on making an impact and want the excitement of being on a team that wins.
Do you want to help develop the next generation of thermal cameras and accessories? We are looking for a senior mechanical design engineer with team-lead experience, where you will take a central role in our mechanical development, from early ideas and concepts to finished product. Here you combine hands-on engineering work with the opportunity to take technical responsibility in product development projects.
Teledyne FLIR develops and produces world-leading solutions in IR technology to help our customers save lives, increase safety, save energy, and protect critical infrastructure around the world.
Our development department in Täby comprises around 150 employees across all disciplines, from industrial design to electronics, software, purchasing, and production engineering. In Täby we also have one of our production facilities, which creates a unique environment where you get to be part of the entire development chain, from idea and prototype to industrialization and production. You get significant influence over technical choices and work together with local teams, international colleagues, and external manufacturing partners.
You will become part of our hardware group where mechanical and electronics engineers work closely together throughout the development process. The group consists of experienced engineers with broad expertise in product development, and the cross-functional environment creates short decision paths and good opportunities to influence the product's technical solutions from early concept studies to finished product.
The products combine mechanics, optics, electronics, and software in compact handheld systems with high demands on performance, robustness, and reliability.
