Junior Lab Engineer

For our client Husqvarna we are looking for a Junior Lab Engineer. The core purpose of the Lab Engineer role at the Product Lab is to accelerate the development of innovative products by integrating expertise in mechanics, electronics, and software. This role plays a key part in transforming ideas into validated concepts through reliable testing and prototyping. As a central technical resource within the R&D process, it ensures that development efforts are both efficient and aligned with strategic goals. Ultimately, the role strengthens the company’s innovation capacity and supports its competitive edge in the market. The roles mission is to enable rapid and reliable product validation by designing, executing, and refining test setups that ensure prototypes meet functional and performance requirements across mechanical, electrical, and software domains. Requirements: The ideal candidate has demonstrated success in technically complex product development environments where mechanics, electronics, and software converge. Experience of independently led lab-based validation efforts that directly influenced product design and accelerated development cycles—often in collaboration with global teams and stakeholders. Experience should include ownership of technically demanding test setups, development of custom measurement solutions, and the ability to coordinate across time zones and cultures to support a unified R&D strategy. Expected to have contributed to lab infrastructure or process improvements with measurable impact on efficiency, scalability, or quality. Prior roles should reflect a high degree of autonomy in technical decision-making and a clear influence on product outcomes at a global level. Familiarity with structured R&D environments and the ability to balance hands-on experimentation with strategic alignment across international teams is essential Tasks Drive cross-functional integration by collaborating closely with design, development, and testing teams to ensure seamless alignment between lab activities and broader R&D objectives. Ensure technical accuracy and data integrity by developing robust measurement methods and maintaining high standards in data collection, analysis, and reporting to support critical design decisions. Continuously improve lab capabilities by identifying and implementing new tools, methods, and processes that enhance efficiency, precision, and scalability of lab operations. Solve complex technical challenges by applying systems thinking and hands-on experimentation to troubleshoot issues in early-stage prototypes and guide iterative development. Support strategic innovation initiatives by contributing technical insights and lab-based evidence that influence product direction and long-term technology roadmaps. About you Advanced problem-solving and analytical thinking – Ability to independently identify, analyze, and resolve complex technical challenges across mechanical, electrical, and software domains. Cross-disciplinary technical competence – Strong practical knowledge in mechanics, electronics, and embedded systems, with the ability to design and execute integrated test setups.
