Mechanical Engineer
“Make X Shore’s CAD data something production can build from without guessing. Audit and rebuild assemblies, align them with the factory floor, and then help design the next-generation boat.”
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 structure
- Rebuild or correct CAD data that no longer reflects what’s actually being built in production
- Align CAD assemblies and drawings with current production reality, working directly with the shop floor
- Identify and resolve discrepancies between design intent and manufactured parts
- Maintain clean, well-structured CAD/PDM practices going forward
- Support production with drawings, tolerances, and design clarifications during rework and manufacturing
- Once alignment work is complete, contribute to the design and detailing of X Shore’s next-generation boat platform
- Collaborate with electrical, production, and manufacturing engineering teams to ensure designs are manufacturable
Required Qualifications
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience
- 3-5+ years of experience in mechanical design, ideally in a manufacturing environment
- Expert-level SOLIDWORKS proficiency, this is a must-have, including assemblies, drawings, and PDM
- Demonstrated experience auditing, cleaning up, or rebuilding CAD data and assemblies
- Comfortable working directly with production to resolve build discrepancies
- Fluent in English; Swedish is a plus
- Ability to work on-site in Nyköping
Desirable Qualifications
- Experience with composites and/or metals typical of marine or automotive manufacturing
- Background in boat building, automotive, or another complex hardware environment
- Familiarity with GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis
- Experience 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 production
- Production has accurate, trustworthy drawings and models to work from
- Discrepancies between design and manufactured parts are identified and resolved
- Meaningful 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.
