Job description
Do you have experience in vehicle transmissions and want to contribute to the development of electric powertrains? At Sigma Industry West, we are now looking for an engineer with deep technical expertise in mechanical transmission systems for an exciting assignment in Gothenburg – with a focus on innovation, quality, and international collaboration.
ABOUT THE ASSIGNMENT
In this role, you will play a key part in the development of transmission systems for PHEV powertrains. You will be responsible for ensuring that the components meet high standards of durability, efficiency, and performance – from concept phase to final production.
The work is carried out in close cooperation with colleagues in Sweden and through continuous dialogue with customers and suppliers. You are expected to contribute both technically and strategically – with a focus on driving the design process forward and ensuring seamless integration of transmission components into complete driveline systems.
This is a full-time (100%) onsite assignment located in Gothenburg.

You are a technically skilled and solution-oriented engineer who thrives in collaborative and international environments. You have a proactive mindset and a strong interest in electrification and powertrain development. With your strong communication skills and ability to build relationships, you will serve as an important link between development teams, customers, and suppliers.
You have both the drive and capability to take ownership of your technical deliveries – and to push development forward with quality and long-term focus.
