Want to shape the future of waterborne transport and join a world-class team?

Candela is the global leader in electric hydrofoil vessels. Since 2014, we’ve gone from building our first premium electric

speedboat in a small Stockholm workshop to delivering game-changing vessels around the globe. The Candela P-12 is our latest

innovation - the world’s first electric hydrofoil ferry is not just operating in Stockholm, but now attracting orders from around

the world.

Our boats “fly” thanks to computer-guided underwater wings under the hull made out of lightweight carbon fiber. The wings lift the

vessel above the water, which results in cutting energy use by up to 80%, while offering zero emissions and a far better passenger

experience than traditional diesel vessels.

And that’s exactly why we do this. Our mission is clear: to speed up the transition to fossil fuel–free lakes and oceans. You can

be part of the amazing team in Candela now! We are looking for a Software Engineering Director to support Candela’s future growth

ambitions.

The role

As our Software Engineering Director, you will lead the software organization and be responsible for how we build, structure, and

operate software across all vessel platforms.

The scope spans embedded systems, control software, onboard applications, user interfaces, telemetry, cyber security and connected

services. You will also shape the tooling and infrastructure that supports development and operations.

The role sits close to hardware, testing, and production. Many of the challenges are system-level and involve trade-offs between

performance, robustness, and development speed, often under real constraints.

Responsibilities

Lead the software organization with a focus on execution, technical quality, and reliability in real-world use

Drive development from early concepts through production deployment and ongoing lifecycle support

Set direction for software architecture across embedded, control, and connected systems—and ensure it holds up in practice

Build and maintain development practices covering testing, CI/CD, release, diagnostics, and observability

Work closely with Mechanical, Electrical, Test, Production, and Service to ensure the software aligns with product and

operational reality

Support development of safety-critical and regulatory-compliant systems used in marine environments

Establish ways of working that scale with team growth and increasing system complexity

Identify technical and organizational risks early and act on them

Lead recruitment, team development, and performance management within the software organization

Contribute hands-on where needed in architecture discussions, prioritization, and key technical decisions

To be successful in the role you bring a combination of:

Leadership in product environments

Experience leading software teams in companies building physical products (not only pure software)

Track record of delivering systems from concept through production and operation

Technical depth where it matters

Strong understanding of software architecture and system integration

Experience working with user-facing systems (UI/UX) as part of larger integrated platforms

Experience with embedded systems, control systems, or real-time software

Familiarity with modern development practices (CI/CD, automated testing, cloud infrastructure)

Good understanding of cyber security principles in connected and distributed systems

Practical experience using AI-assisted development and code-generation tools, and an understanding of how they impact

engineering velocity, quality, and system design

Operating in real-world conditions

Ability to balance development speed, robustness, and long-term maintainability

Comfortable working close to hardware, testing, and production environments

Experience with safety-critical and/or regulatory-driven development is a strong plus

We are looking for someone who is a strong team player and confident in leading and coordinating across teams and stakeholders.

You have the ability to stay structured, thorough, and focused even in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities. As a

person, you are goal-oriented, analytical, and persistent, with a strong drive to solve problems and move work forward. You

communicate clearly and directly, are able to align teams around priorities and execution, and take ownership of your decisions

while adapting when needed.

Form of employment: Full-time with initial 6 month probation period

Start date: ASAP

Location/base: Frihamnen

Reporting to: VP R&D

transport. You get the chance to work with cutting-edge technology, solving complex challenges, and seeing the results in action -

trust our team to work in ways that fit their life. At Candela, you’ll find a place where bold ideas are welcomed, great people

are celebrated, and the ride is just as important as the destination.
