Come and join a global leader within sustainable cargo flow. For a new team within R&D, we are looking for a colleague to join us in the role as Electrical Engineer. As a subject matter expert, you will be working together with highly skilled colleagues and contribute to our journey within electrification. If you want to be part of a dynamic environment and an interesting phase, then this opportunity will most certainly intrigue you! Together, we keep everyday life moving to build a better tomorrow.

YOU WILL 

The electrification of road transportation is in full swing, and HIAB needs to develop energy efficient products suited for battery operated vehicles. In addition, we have set ambitious targets for CO2 reduction, where use phase emissions play a dominant role.

A quick shift to electrification is key to the transition to a more sustainable transportation system. We are already offering a new electric hybrid crane that combines the strength from battery power - drive - motor with the strengths of the hydraulic cylinders. But this is only the beginning, to further expand our electric offer and be at the forefront of decarbonization in our core markets and industries, we are strengthening our resources for electrification and setting up a new team within R&D.

You and your colleagues will have the mission to develop new technology and products ranging from electro-hydraulic power units, battery packs and electromechanical actuators in line with what a developing business will require. While “power packs” and distributed hydraulic systems are fairly established, there needs to be technological advances in the field of electric actuators to make them viable in heavy applications at the very core of HIAB’s loader crane business. Your responsibilities will include:

•  Designing the system and components of the electrical drive line

•  Work with system optimization

•  Drive pre-development activities and work in product development projects

• Stay up to date with the latest advances in electromechanics and apply them to improve HIAB’s products

• Test and verification of new solutions

• Collaborate with sourcing to find suitable suppliers

• Interact with stakeholders - colleagues in R&D, sourcing, product management and production

• Conduct analysis and simulations to optimize performance and efficiency, and development of necessary calculus and analytic tools

This position is located in Hudiksvall or Stockholm.

YOU ARE 

We expect you to have a long experience from development and engineering of industrial products. You bring expertise within electric motor drives, inverters, power electronics and other general electronics fields. You hold a University degree in engineering, preferably electronics or mechatronics. For this role, you need to be fluent in English, both in speaking and writing. Additionally, having management experience would be beneficial.

We believe in and value team-players that are open and curious towards teammates. You are a passionate, self-propelled engineer comfortable working in early phase

development and systematically tackle new challenges. We also believe that you enjoy supporting and contributing to the solution with your knowledge. You need to be able to combine creativity with methodical approach depending on situation. Being a good communicator, you are comfortable at interacting with colleagues within the company and can be the value bearer of our values reliable, caring and pioneering.

HIAB AND SUSTAINABILIY

WHAT WE OFFER
