What you’ll do at Elekta 

As a Lead Verification Engineer, you will be part of a   hardware team, developing mechanical and electronic solutions in an agile framework, for our Linear Accelerator portfolio. You’ll play a key role in all phases of the verification process, including planning, specification, execution, and reporting for both new solutions and modifications to existing products.

You will collaborate closely with the hardware designers and other verification functions setting up environments for testing to ensure a testable design and provide early feedback on the product performance. Additionally, general understanding of mechanical or mechatronics systems, handling tools (i.e. power tools), practical experimental work, test tool development, configuration management, and requirements tracking are essential aspects of this role.   

Responsibilities 

In this role, your responsibilities will include:  

• Participate in all stages of development projects, with a focus on verification, requirements engineering, documentation, and configuration management, in compliance with company standards. 
• Design, develop, execute, and maintain test cases and environments

What you bring 

To succeed in this role, you should demonstrate high integrity and attention to detail throughout the verification process.

• A university degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field. 
• Several years of experience in verification and testing methodologies. 
• Professional experience with mechanical measuring equipment.
