Om tjänsten
About the Role
Prototyping and Testing doesn't exist yet as a department at X Shore — there's an empty warehouse and a mandate to build
everything from the ground up. We're looking for a Manager to own that build, start to finish: work with building contractors to
construct the mechanical workshop, electrical workshop, station build areas, and storage, then recruit and lead the prototyping
and test engineering teams who'll work in it.
This is a hands-on, founding role. You'll be as involved in walking the warehouse floor with contractors and deciding where the
electrical workshop goes as you will be interviewing your first engineering hires. There is no existing department, no established
process, and no playbook — you're writing it. You'll report to the Head of R&D and be full-time on-site in Nyköping.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end build-out of X Shore's prototyping and test space, working directly with building contractors to construct
the mechanical workshop, electrical workshop, station build areas, storage, and supporting infrastructure
Required Qualifications
Desirable Qualifications
Personal Qualities
Hands-on and genuinely energized by building something from an empty room rather than inheriting one. A strong people leader who
can attract and develop a team before there's a department for them to join. Pragmatic and resourceful — equally comfortable
discussing wall placement with a contractor and interviewing a test engineer. Takes ownership and drives things to completion
without waiting for process to catch up.
Success Metrics (First 12 Months)
- Prototyping and test space — mechanical workshop, electrical workshop, station build areas, storage — is built out and
operational
Location & Structure
Full-time, on-site in Nyköping. Reports to the Head of R&D.
