Production Engineer

1 day ago

Uppsala, Uppsala, Sweden AirForestry Full time

We are looking for a hands-on Production Engineer to build up our production capability from the ground up and bridge the gap between design and scalable manufacturing. This role is critical in ensuring our designs successfully transition from R&D into repeatable, high-quality production.

The role:
As Production Engineer at AirForestry, you will be responsible for establishing and owning the production framework for both prototypes and early series production of our drone and harvesting tool.

This is a hands-on scale-up role where you will start with limited structure and gradually help put processes, tools, and routines in place. Your work will range from defining assembly sequences and work instructions to troubleshooting production issues on the shop floor or together with suppliers.

You are not expected to replace design engineers, but to challenge, guide, and support them from a production perspective.

Responsibilities:

  • Continuously improve production efficiency, quality, and robustness
  • Establish production processes, workflows, and basic production infrastructure from scratch
  • Participate DFM/DFA in close collaboration with hardware and mechanical R&D
  • Define assembly concepts, fixtures, tools, and test setups
  • Create and maintain work instructions, BOM structures, and production documentation
  • Support prototype builds, pilot builds, and ramp-up to low/medium volume production
  • Identify production risks early and drive corrective actions
  • Work closely with procurement and suppliers on traceability, quality, and lead times

Experience:

  • 3+ years of experience in production engineering, industrialization, or manufacturing engineering
  • Experience taking products from design into production
  • Strong understanding of mechanical and/or electronic production processes
  • Ability to work hands-on with physical hardware and production equipment
  • Fluent in Swedish and English

Meritorious:

  • Experience from low-volume / high-complexity products
  • Background in aerospace, automotive, robotics, or industrial machinery
  • Experience with production of electronics, mechatronics, or composite structures
  • Experience setting up pilot lines or early production in a startup or scale-up environment

Who you are:
You are pragmatic, structured, and comfortable with ambiguity. You enjoy turning "almost working" designs into robust, buildable products. You're equally comfortable in CAD reviews, Excel sheets, supplier calls, and on the workshop floor. You ask the annoying but necessary questions — early.

You will be a key part of a fast-paced, technically deep team working with cutting-edge hardware in real-world environments. We are office-first and based in Uppsala, with frequent hands-on work and close collaboration across disciplines.

We look forward to your application

Due to vacations, feedback will be delayed until after the holidays.
