Mechanical Engineer - MicroDri

MicroDri is a Swedish deep-tech company based in Linköping, developing next-generation industrial drying systems based on continuous microwave technology. The company’s technology enables materials to be dried faster, with greater control, and at lower energy consumption than conventional methods — addressing a key bottleneck in many energy-intensive industrial processes. The company originates from Swedish industrial innovation and was founded as a spin-off from Saab AB. Since its inception, MicroDri has built a strong technical platform within microwave technology, mechanical engineering, control systems, and industrial process development. Development has taken place in close collaboration with industrial and academic partners. With us, you won’t just create CAD designs — you’ll follow the entire journey from idea and design to finished product and real-world functionality. For the right person, there is also an opportunity to gradually take on greater technical responsibility within the company and help lead the development of MicroDri’s solutions. About the Role As a Mechanical Engineer at MicroDri, you will play a key role representing mechanical design expertise within our technical team. You will work broadly and hands-on with development, mechanical design, prototyping, assembly, and testing. This role goes beyond traditional mechanical design. You will participate in early concept discussions, develop mechanical solutions, work closely with manufacturing and testing, and contribute to dialogues with external suppliers and partners. Over time, we see the role evolving into a broader responsibility for the mechanical engineering area, where you will coordinate design-related matters, supplier interactions, and technical decisions connected to mechanical development. We are looking for someone who understands what happens after a drawing leaves the screen — how components are manufactured, assembled, tested, and function in real-world conditions. The work is primarily carried out on-site in our workshop/facility, where you will be involved in both the construction and verification of our systems, as well as at our office in Linköping. We believe you have

At least 6 years of experience as a Mechanical Engineer

Experience working with complex industrial product development

A solid understanding of the entire development chain — from design to production and finished solution

Experience working closely with manufacturing, workshops, or prototype building

A practical and solution-oriented mindset

The ability to work independently and take ownership within your area of expertise

An interest in gradually taking on broader technical responsibility, for example within mechanical development, supplier dialogue, and technical coordination

You need to have a broad technical understanding and feel comfortable taking responsibility in technical environments. You will work closely with our microwave experts, system/control specialists, and other parts of the development team. An extra plus if this sounds like you You are genuinely passionate about technology — even outside of work. Maybe you build your own projects at home, work on engines, or simply enjoy understanding how things really work. At MicroDri, we appreciate people who are willing to roll up their sleeves and are not afraid to get hands-on when needed. Why you will enjoy working with us

You will work close to the technology and see the results of your work

You will become part of a small company with big ambitions

Short decision-making paths and a fast pace of change

Opportunities to grow into a broader technical responsibility as the company expands

The chance to help build the mechanical engineering function — not just execute predefined design tasks

An environment for people who enjoy challenges and want to continue developing technically

Location The office is located in Linköping, and the machine is currently manufactured in Norrköping (although we are currently looking for new premises mainly in Linköping). The work is primarily performed on-site. Application Are you ready for your next step and want to help build technology for real? We look forward to hearing from you.
