Experience working with platform-based or product-based environments, covering design, installation, integration, or commissioning phases (e.g. ships, offshore platforms, aircraft, or large industrial systems)
Strong understanding of system integration, system-of-systems architectures, and multidisciplinary engineering environments
It is a plus if you also have:
Experience in the defense industry
Knowledge of electrical systems, cabling, power, or HVAC onboard ships
Experience with AVEVA Engineering or similar tools
Experience handling installation data and related shipyard documentation
You communicate fluently in English and Swedish, both written and spoken.
