Founded in 2016, Einride became the first company in the world to deploy a cab-less autonomous electric vehicle on a public road (Sweden, 2019). In 2022, we were the first to successfully operate such a vehicle on a US public road. Today our award-winning technology has been launched across 8 countries (and counting). Our clients are some of the world’s biggest shippers, including Fortune 500 companies. We are also operating Sweden’s largest truck dedicated public charging network and counting.

As a Design Lead within the Top Hat & Exterior team at Einride, you will be a part of the team responsible for the mechanical and electrical (EDS) design of our autonomous vehicles. In this role, you will work in close collaboration with your Program Manager to drive the team's deliveries forward.

You will be

• Driving and coordinating technical deliveries within mechanics and EDS, with a primary focus on the mechanical area.
• Following up on the team’s work and ensuring quality, progress, and alignment across engineering tasks.
• Coordinating and following up on deliveries from external suppliers and partners, working closely with procurement.
• Owning project timelines, ensuring that technical designs and production orders are delivered on time.
• Bringing structure, clarity, and scalability into a fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment.

We expect that you

• Have a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a similar field.
• Are a senior automotive engineer with distinct experience leading technical assignments (e.g., as GDL, Design Lead, or Team Lead).
• Are a structured, agile, and communicative coordinator, highly accustomed to supplier management and handling parallel deliveries.
• Communicate fluently in English.

Nice to have

• Proven experience of building and implementing workflows and processes to develop an organization.
• Managing complex hardware projects involving both mechanical as well as electrical design.

This is a full-time position based in Gothenburg. You will be part of a truly diverse, high performing team with a common passion for sustainability and making things happen in an innovative way. We recommend that you submit your application as soon as possible since selection and interviews are held continually.

At Einride, we are innovators, building solutions the world has never seen before – but urgently needs. That’s why we take action, and it’s why we are always eager to be challenged. We know that our best innovations come from having a diverse mix of people, including those of different experiences, career paths, and walks of life. By coming together and sharing our perspectives openly – by disagreeing, discussing, and committing – we deliver greater impact.
