Job Description

Are you looking for a technically challenging role in an international environment where your work has a direct impact on real, heavy-duty machines? Do you want to be part of shaping the next generation of industrial lift trucks, where advanced electronics, intelligent control systems, and electrification meet demanding real-world applications?

We are now looking for an Electrical Design Engineer to join our Lifttrucks Engineering organization at Konecranes.

In this role, you will develop and maintain the electrical systems used in our container lift trucks. You will be part of a global development team working with electrified drivetrains, modern control systems, digital solutions, and traditional ICE-powered machines. Your work will span from system-level design and architecture to detailed engineering and hands-on problem solving, supporting both new development and continuous improvement.

You will collaborate closely with software engineers, mechanical engineers, production, testing, and service, as well as external partners and suppliers.

The position is based in Markaryd, Sweden and offers good opportunities for partial remote work.

Key responsibilities include:

• Designing and developing electrical systems for heavy lift trucks, from concept and architecture through industrialization and production launch
• Selecting, dimensioning, and integrating components such as controllers, sensors, HMIs, PDUs, and safety-critical electronics
• Creating electrical schematics and technical documentation for manufacturing, service, and troubleshooting
• Ensuring machine and functional safety in accordance with standards such as ISO 13849-1 and EN 1175
• Working closely with software engineers on CAN-based networks, diagnostics, and machine logic
• Supporting testing, commissioning, risk assessments, and continuous improvement activities
• Working hands-on with a broad range of technologies including drivetrains, energy storage systems, automation, and operator interface solutions

Qualifications

We are looking for someone with a genuine interest in electronics and system development, combined with a structured and curious engineering mindset. You may be an experienced engineer or earlier in your career — what matters most is your technical drive, willingness to learn, and ability to solve complex problems.

To succeed in the role, we believe you should have a degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechatronics, or a related field, and a solid understanding of electrical and electronic systems. You are comfortable working both at system level and with detailed engineering tasks, and you enjoy collaborating across disciplines. You have knowledge of areas such as control systems, electronics, data communication, electrical safety, sensors, and motor control. Experience with electrical design tools such as E3, SolidWorks Routing, or similar is considered a merit. You work analytically and in a structured manner, while also bringing creativity and curiosity into your problem-solving.

The role requires strong communication skills in English, both written and spoken. Knowledge of Swedish is beneficial but not a requirement.
