Want to join an extraordinary team developing world-leading products that make it easy to bring along the things you care for – easily, securely and in style – when living an active life?
Are you a team player who thrives in a sustainability-driven environment and where you will be given the opportunity to impact the design and technology of products designed to inspire to live an active life with kids?
Welcome with your application!

Thule Group now offers you to join the Engineering team developing products in the very fast growing category Active With Kids (strollers, multifunctional strollers, child bike seats and child carrier backpacks)

As a Design Engineer at our Global Product Development Center located in Hillerstorp, you will have the opportunity to further develop your career together with a great team of highly skilled engineers with a high level of technical expertise and interest for the products that Thule Group develops. You will work with world-class products as well as gaining new knowledge and experiences.

As a Design Engineer at Thule Group you follow the complete Product development cycle from idea to industrialization that gives a very good overview and stronger ownership to the product you currently develop.
You will develop new products and components with high quality within targeted cost budget and time plans to meet market requirements of our consumer. You will also be evaluating technical solutions with respect to manufacturing methods, strength requirements, cost and aesthetics.

Since we believe in hands on product development we have over the last years invested in a very modern prototype workshop that allows you as a Designer to quickly move from idea to physical prototypes at hand which makes your work more dynamic and diverse.
You work in project teams in close cooperation with Project managers, Simulation Engineers, Test engineers, Prototype makers and other Design Engineers as well as other resources within Thule Group.
You learn new things continuously though your daily work as well as from Thule’s setup with Knowledge teams for all important disciplines

Your profile:
To enjoy your new organization you need a pro-active and entrepreneurial personality who thrives in a high speed and team oriented environment. We trust you have a structured and professional approach with flexibility in mind and consistent in delivery together with a strong problem-solving ability. An important requirement is that you have an academic degree in Mechanical engineering or similar, 3D-CAD competence (preferable Solidworks), PDM-system competence, documented technical knowledge as well as fluency in English. 

We believe in strong team work both within your own team but also across teams. We strive to be an open and curious organization, sharing our knowledge and inspiring one another. Within Thule Group you will find people who have a passion for the products we make and the outdoor company we are. We share the same values and we like to have fun. All of our employees have a joint responsibility to maintain that spirit and contribute to it.
