In this position, you will design electrical solutions for cooling systems, ranging from automation cabinets and motor control centers to junction boxes and supporting systems. You will work in close collaboration with project engineers, production, suppliers, and service teams, contributing across project execution, R&D activities, and after‑sales support.

- Create and maintain technical documentation such as schematics, functional descriptions, work instructions, and quality records.
- Create and manage articles and Bills of Material (BOM) in SAP.

- Strong proficiency in electrical CAD tools such as Elprocad or similar systems.
- Good understanding of low‑voltage systems, redundancy concepts, and industrial electrical design principles.
- Familiarity with relevant standards such as IEC 61439 and IEC 61000‑6‑2 / IEC 61000‑6‑4.
- A structured, communicative, and collaborative working style, with the ability to take responsibility for your own learning.
- Fluency in technical English, both written and spoken; Swedish language skills are considered a strong advantage.
