Mechanical Engineer
About The Role
X Shore's existing CAD models and assemblies don't fully reflect what's actually being built on the factory floor — data has drifted from production reality, making it hard to trust drawings, plan rework, or hand off clean information to manufacturing. We're looking for a Mechanical Engineer to audit and rebuild that CAD data, get it aligned with how boats are actually produced, and then move on to design work on X Shore's next-generation boat platform.
This is a hands-on role in two phases. First, you'll dig into existing CAD, correct what's out of sync with production, and work closely with the shop floor to close the gap between design intent and built reality. Once that foundation is solid, you'll shift into forward-looking platform design for future boats. You'll report to the Mechanical Engineering & Analysis Manager and be based on-site in Nyköping.
Key Responsibilities
Audit existing CAD models and assemblies for accuracy, completeness, and structureRebuild or correct CAD data that no longer reflects what's actually being built in productionAlign CAD assemblies and drawings with current production reality, working directly with the shop floorIdentify and resolve discrepancies between design intent and manufactured partsMaintain clean, well-structured CAD/PDM practices going forwardSupport production with drawings, tolerances, and design clarifications during rework and manufacturingOnce alignment work is complete, contribute to the design and detailing of X Shore's next-generation boat platformCollaborate with electrical, production, and manufacturing engineering teams to ensure designs are manufacturable
Required Qualifications
Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience3-5+ years of experience in mechanical design, ideally in a manufacturing environmentExpert-level SOLIDWORKS proficiency — this is a must-have, including assemblies, drawings, and PDMDemonstrated experience auditing, cleaning up, or rebuilding CAD data and assembliesComfortable working directly with production to resolve build discrepanciesFluent in English; Swedish is a plusAbility to work on-site in Nyköping
Desirable Qualifications
Experience with composites and/or metals typical of marine or automotive manufacturingBackground in boat building, automotive, or another complex hardware environmentFamiliarity with GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysisExperience contributing to a new product platform from early concept through release
Personal Qualities
Detail-oriented and methodical, comfortable untangling messy legacy data without losing momentum. Equally at home on the shop floor verifying fit as at a CAD workstation. Takes ownership, follows through, and communicates clearly across engineering and production.
Success Metrics (First 12 Months)
CAD data and assemblies for existing boats are audited, corrected, and aligned with what's built in productionProduction has accurate, trustworthy drawings and models to work fromDiscrepancies between design and manufactured parts are identified and resolvedMeaningful contribution made to next-generation boat platform design
Location & Structure
On-site at X Shore Factory & HQ, Nyköping. Reports to the Mechanical Engineering & Analysis Manager.
