Show job description

Wind power is growing, in every sense of the word. Modvion designs and develops a patented modular wind turbine tower made of laminated wood, engineered to reach higher altitudes and unlock wind resources previously out of reach. Laminated wood, nature's carbon fibre, enables efficient logistics for tall towers while substantially cutting the carbon footprint of wind power.

We are moving from proven, single-tower projects into a phase of scaling delivery, and every project we take on right now is a critical step in proving that model to the market.

The role

Wood is a fantastic material, as long as it is properly protected from moisture. Our weather protection system keeps the moisture content of the tower stable over its full service life. The system works, and now it needs to work at scale: better, faster, easier to apply in the factory and on site, and verified for the long term.

As Development Engineer you will own the system technically through all project phases, from requirements to verified solution in production and in the field. You will:

  • Understand the system, its functions and its interfaces with the rest of the tower, and represent it in e.g. design reviews

  • Break down and set the requirement specification for the system

  • Further develop technical solutions in line with requirements, and plan and run tests to verify them, e.g. adhesion, ageing and moisture testing

  • Secure the technical documentation: specifications, process descriptions, quality assurance and test reports

  • Work with coating and sealant suppliers, from material selection to follow up of deliveries

  • Support manufacturing, installation and service with application methods, inspection and repair

You will work closely with colleagues in Product Development, Manufacturing, Installation, Quality and Certification.

Who you are

You have a degree in materials, chemistry, mechanical engineering or similar, and at least 5 years of experience as an engineer in product development. You like to dig deep in technical challenges and to see your solutions through to production.

You are structured. Planning your work and documenting comes naturally. You deliver to plan, but you can change direction fast when needed. You enjoy coordinating and collaborating with skilled colleagues and suppliers.

You are fluent in English, written and spoken.

It is a merit if you have experience of:

  • Coatings, sealants or adhesives, especially on wood or composites

  • Durability and ageing testing of materials, and relevant standards

  • Industrial application processes and quality control

  • Rapid prototyping and 3D printing

  • CAD, preferably Inventor

  • Wind power or another regulated industry

What we offer

First of all we offer a meaningful, challenging, and fun everyday job.

We also offer you:

  • Flexibility and freedom with your responsibilities, we trust our team to do a great job

  • Wellness hour, meaning you’re free to exercise one workhour every week

  • Planning your daily work to fit with your life

  • Gym and table tennis at work

  • Health and wellness allowance ‘Friskvårdsbidrag’

  • Team activities and more!

The position is based at our office and R&D factory in Gothenburg. We like to meet and work together most of the time, but it’s possible to work from home and use flexible hours when needed.

Does it sound like you?

If you are ready to take on a new challenge and explore the next generation of wooden wind turbine towers then you have come to the right place. Come join us!
