ABOUT THE ROLE X Shore is rebuilding operations and product development under new ownership. We are now looking for a Mechanical Engineering & Analysis Manager to lead the structural and mechanical integrity of our electric boats — ensuring that every hull, component, and assembly that leaves Nyköping is designed right, validated correctly, and built to last. This is a leadership role with deep technical ownership. You will guide a small engineering team, drive analysis and simulation work, and be the person who signs off that our mechanical solutions are both safe and manufacturable. The role is based on-site at our office and production facility in Nyköping. ROLE PURPOSE Own the mechanical engineering function — from concept validation and structural analysis through to production release — ensuring that X Shore boats are designed to specification, analysed to standard, and handed to production with complete and correct documentation. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES * Lead mechanical engineering and structural analysis activities across the X Shore product range * Own FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and CFD simulations — from setup through to results interpretation and design recommendations * Define and maintain engineering standards, tolerances, and material specifications * Review and approve drawings, 3D models, and engineering change orders * Manage product validation testing: define test plans, oversee execution, and sign off results * Work closely with production engineering to ensure designs are manufacturable and assembly-ready * Lead root cause analysis on field failures, warranty cases, and production non-conformances * Maintain the mechanical BOM structure and ensure drawing revisions are controlled and complete * Support supplier development — reviewing manufacturing capabilities and engaging on critical components * Build and develop a small team of mechanical engineers, setting clear priorities and technical standards * Contribute to design reviews, risk assessments, and certification activities (e.g. CE, RCD) TECHNICAL DEPTH — WHAT WE NEED X Shore builds high-performance electric boats in marine-grade aluminium and composite materials. The Mechanical Engineering & Analysis Manager must be able to go deep — not just manage the team, but own the analysis work and stand behind the results. * Define and execute FEA studies for hull structures, brackets, mounts, and drivetrain interfaces * Assess fatigue life, impact loads, and hydrostatic pressure scenarios relevant to marine certification * Interpret and challenge simulation outputs — know when results are credible and when the model needs revisiting * Specify and oversee physical testing that correlates with simulation work * Drive design-for-manufacture review: identify tolerance stack-ups, assembly constraints, and production risks before they reach the floor QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED * Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Naval Architecture, or equivalent * Minimum 7 years of engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a lead or senior role * Hands-on FEA experience using commercial tools (e.g. ANSYS, Abaqus, Nastran, or similar) * Strong working knowledge of CAD — 3D modelling and drawing release in tools such as SOLIDWORKS or CATIA * Experience in metals and composites — material selection, joining methods, and manufacturing constraints * Documented experience leading engineering validation: test planning, execution, and sign-off * Fluent in English; Swedish is an advantage * Available to work on-site in Nyköping NICE TO HAVE * Background in marine, automotive, aerospace, or high-performance vehicle engineering * Experience with CE marking, RCD (Recreational Craft Directive), or ISO 12215 hull structural standards * Experience from a company in growth, transformation, or restart phase * Familiarity with Microsoft Dynamics 365 or similar ERP/PLM systems NON-NEGOTIABLES * Hands-on analysis capability — this role requires personal technical output, not just management * Rigorous approach to documentation — drawings, reports, and release notes are complete before sign-off * Speaks up early when a design has a structural risk, regardless of schedule pressure * Takes ownership of problems through to resolution — not just identification * Treats manufacturing constraints as design inputs, not afterthoughts * Comfortable leading in an environment where processes are still being built WHAT GOOD AND BAD LOOK LIKE WHAT GOOD LOOKS LIKE Design decisions are backed by analysis before production release Production raises a structural question — engineering has the answer the same day Test results correlate with simulation — deviations are explained Drawing revisions are controlled and complete — no ambiguity on the floor Field failures are root-caused with corrective action in place within two weeks Engineers know what they are working on, why, and what good looks like WHAT BAD LOOKS LIKE Designs released without structural validation Production finds structural issues during assembly Test data filed without interpretation or corrective action Multiple drawing versions in circulation simultaneously Failures are documented but never actioned Team direction unclear — priorities shift without explanation PERSONAL QUALITIES To succeed in this role we believe you: * Are technically rigorous and do not accept 'close enough' when precision matters * Lead by example — you still do the hard analysis work yourself * Are structured and clear in how you communicate engineering decisions * Build credibility with production and suppliers through sound technical judgement * Are comfortable in ambiguity and can create structure where little exists * Have strong drive and see problems through to resolution * Thrive in a small, fast-moving team where every person's contribution is visible KEY INTERFACES * Head of R&D — direct reporting line; alignment on technical direction, priorities, and resource * Production Engineering — design-for-manufacture review, assembly support, and non-conformance resolution * Procurement — supplier capability assessment, component specifications, and critical part qualification * Quality — validation testing, field failure analysis, and certification documentation * External suppliers and partners — manufacturing review, tooling sign-off, and prototype builds WHAT WE OFFER At X Shore you get the chance to be part of an exciting journey with significant responsibility and real impact. You will be a central figure in rebuilding the engineering function of a pioneering electric boat company — setting the technical standards that determine whether our boats are safe, reliable, and built right. This is not a caretaker role. It is a building role, and the standards you set today will shape the product for years to come.
