• Leadership and Mentorship: Lead and mentor project teams by providing motivation, guidance and support to ensure high performance, strong team dynamics and continuous development.

• Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Product Development, or similar experience
• Have experience from working with Project Management methodologies
• Have strong problem-solving skills, dare to challenge and take decisions, possess excellent communication skills and have a structured way of working

What we offer

A dynamic organization with a flat hierarchy, where you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact and take ownership of your work. At Elektron, you’ll experience a strong team spirit and a warm, collaborative atmosphere — with music at the heart of everything we do. You’ll work closely across departments, gaining a broad understanding of the company and opening doors for professional development and long-term growth. Along the way, you’ll also enjoy regular social events.

We are also covered by Teknikavtalet, a collective agreement established between Unionen and Teknikarbetsgivarna.

Start: As soon as possible, by agreement

Scope: Full-time, permanent position

Location: Banehagsliden 5, Gothenburg

We usually get back to applicants within 14 days, but due to a high volume of applications, the response time may sometimes be longer — but rest assured, you haven’t been forgotten, and we promise to reach out as soon as we can.

Greetings from Elektron!
