Job description
As a Requirement & Design Engineer (RDE) you will be working with a great team of engineers, and you will be responsible for the design and requirements of one specific range of components. You will use your skills to take design from ideation through concept generation, development and optimisation and deliver ready to use solutions, fully verified through simulations and testing. One important part of your assignment is to maintain and secure that the information in our PLM system is up to date and accurate.
In this role you will work with improvements of the existing range by proactively searching for opportunities to challenge known patterns. You will work in close collaboration with your team and different stakeholders across the organisation.
Qualification
To succeed and shine in this role we are looking for you who have studied mechanical engineering or equivalent and have experience in working with product development. It is meriting if you have knowledge in different materials such as, polymers, steel and/or wood, and the different production methods. You have skills in SolidWorks or other CAD software, and basic knowledge in PLM systems. Furthermore, you have elementary knowledge with strength calculations (FEA).
As a person you are down to earth, pragmatic and solution oriented, and with a sparkling curiosity that will lead you forward in the unknown. You have leadership skills, self-drive and you are open to change. You can work with product documentation, even when it becomes repetitive, but you can also be practical and get things done. You communicate in a clear and an open-minded way and you can build trustworthy relations in unknown environments. In your mind, a failure is just another idea that did not work out and you are not afraid to try, again and again.
IKEA is a truly global environment with colleagues from all over the world and therefore you need to be able to speak and write in English.
