Powertrain Engineer

Candela is a Swedish tech company with the ultimate purpose to speed up the transition to fossil fuel-free lakes and oceans. We strive to re-think efficiency in marine transportation to radically push the performance boundaries of electric boats and ships.

By combining sensors, computers and advanced submerged hydrofoils, our electric craft fly above the water, reaching speeds and range previously attained only by fossil fuel powerboats.

Thanks to their remarkable performance, Candela's craft are the best-selling electric boats on the market. Our first model, Candela C-7, quickly became Europe's best-selling electric boat after its introduction in 2019. Its successor, the bigger C-8 day cruiser, outsold the C-7 just 3 months after launch. We are also venturing into professional watercraft with the revolutionary foiling P-12 Shuttle.

We are now looking for a Powertraing Engineerto support Candela's growth ambitions.

About this role

As Candela continues its development of new products, we are looking for a highly motivated Powertrain Engineer to join the team. The Powertrain Team is responsible for defining, developing, testing, evaluating and supporting industrialization of the electric powertrain of our foiling electric boats. Our responsibility includes the complete propulsion system including cooling, as well as cabin climatization and low voltage actuators that controls the foil system. We are looking for a motivated team member with experience of working with our type of components and systems.

Core responsibilities:

• Own the Propulsion system, from charging inlet to electric machines, as well as cabin HVAC and low-voltage actuators.
• Define and set requirements for system, system behaviour and components.
