Above is currently looking for a talented Junior Mechanical Engineer to join our multidisciplinary team based in our Stockholm studio. This is a permanent full-time role, available from August 2024. We are open to receiving applications from intermediate-level engineers and able to adjust the role accordingly.

Job Description
As a Mechanical Engineer at Above, you will work with multidisciplinary project teams on cutting-edge design & innovation projects for some of the world's most exciting brands.

You will be an integral part of our engineering team, contributing to all stages of product development—from initial concept validation and technical feasibility studies to detailed design, prototyping, and manufacturing implementation. With strong analytical thinking and creative problem-solving skills, you will directly impact project success through technical excellence and innovative engineering solutions. You'll drive smaller technical workstreams independently while integrating into larger projects as part of diverse, cross-functional teams—acting as a technical advocate while collaborating closely with industrial designers, strategists, and technology specialists.

Our work spans high-volume consumer products, smart home devices, furniture systems, robotics, future mobility solutions, progressive healthcare devices, sustainable packaging, and emerging technology applications. We create impact across all development phases—from proof-of-concept prototypes to production-ready designs and comprehensive technical documentation.
