R&D Engineering Manager

At Bluefors, we're enabling breakthroughs in quantum technology and scientific research through the world's leading cryogenic

measurement systems and dilution refrigerators. Our solutions are trusted by researchers, universities, and quantum computing

companies around the globe.

Our Systems & Options engineering team turns new technologies into products. Building on concepts developed by our Research team,

the team is primarily responsible for productizing new products in the Systems and Options product families, taking them through

detailed design and industrialization to launch into volume production. The team includes mechanical and electrical engineers. It

works closely with our Research team and our Custom Solutions Engineering team, as well as with product management, manufacturing,

quality, and other stakeholders.

We are looking for an R&D Engineering Manager who is first and foremost a people leader. This role is about leading and managing

people: setting direction, building a team where skilled engineers can do their best work, and making sure the team delivers. The

team is growing, and you should be ready and motivated to lead a large engineering team. The position reports to the Director,

Systems & Options, and is part of Bluefors' Product Development organization.

We work with low hierarchy and short decision paths, and we move fast. Bluefors is growing rapidly. Agility is essential, but so

is a systematic, repeatable way of bringing new products into volume production. Building ways of working that achieve both is a

central part of this role.

We offer you an interesting, challenging, and responsible position, supported by a highly skilled and growing organization. It's

an excellent opportunity for professional growth in a dynamic, enthusiastic, and professional team where we work together and

support each other. Our working environment is multicultural and leaves room to grow, so you can use your full potential and keep

developing your skills.

• Ensure effective execution of productization projects, from Research concept to volume production, through prioritization,

alignment, and organizational leadership

• Develop engineering processes and ways of working that keep us agile while ensuring a systematic transition from new product to

volume production

• Collaborate closely with the Research and Custom Solutions Engineering teams, project managers, product management,

manufacturing, quality, and other stakeholders

• At least 6 years of experience in mechanical design and engineering of complex mechanical or electromechanical hardware

products

• Familiarity with PDM (Product Data Management), PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)

systems
