Process Engineer - Consumables

Loading the latest Sweden job-market headlines…

As a Process Engineer in the Innovation Development Center, you will be the technical contact for prototyping activities related to Snus and Nicotine Pouch innovation projects. Your focus will be on mechanical production and packaging equipment used to manufacture, form, handle and pack products. You will develop experimental plans, lead prototyping activities, and develop or adapt equipment to support new or complex manufacturing needs. You will collaborate closely with R&D, Quality, EHS, Manufacturing, and technicians to ensure robust, safe, and right-first-time prototyping execution.

Beyond project delivery, you will build process knowledge by translating experimental findings into technical understanding, identifying key mechanical and process drivers, and continuously improving prototyping processes and equipment performance.

You will support scale-up and industrialization by assessing process transferability across equipment, defining operating principles, and partnering with manufacturing teams on trials and production campaigns to implement new products and processes successfully.

YOUR ‘DAY TO DAY’

Design experimental plans and identify optimal equipment configurations and manufacturing approaches, working hand-in-hand with technicians, R&D, and manufacturing teams.

Lead the full prototype production lifecycle, from early feasibility discussions to on-floor execution, ensuring appropriate documentation including batch records, trial protocols, risk assessments, and technical reporting.

Generate process knowledge by analyzing experimental outcomes, identifying critical equipment and process parameters, and translating findings into technical recommendations.

Support industrial trials and production campaigns, collaborating closely with manufacturing teams to assess process robustness, capture findings, and facilitate successful scale-up of new products and processes.

Develop custom setups, adapt existing equipment, or coordinate the sourcing of additional machinery to support new activities or complex prototypes.

Analyze equipment and process performance through data analysis, troubleshooting, root cause investigations, and KPI monitoring to drive continuous improvement of prototyping lines.

Collaborate with EHS to ensure equipment and processes are fully compliant, supporting risk evaluations and maintaining high operational safety standards.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR -

Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Micro Engineering, or equivalent.
