We’re looking for you who finds inspiration in simulation driven product development and calculation of welded structures. Does this spark your interest? Join our calculation and simulation team at Toyota Material Handling!

The position

In the position as a Calculation Engineer at Toyota, you will look forward to:

• FEM-analyses of both complete forklift models and subsystems
  Optimizations and simulations
• Developing load cases and boundary conditions
• Method development

As a Calculation Engineer with us, you’ll work on projects across our full range of products, from hand trucks to warehouse forklift trucks with lifting capacities exceeding 16 meters. You’ll be involved in both new development projects and optimization tasks for existing machinery, as well as custom-designed vehicles. Your responsibilities will include both static and dynamic strength analysis, with welded structures being a central part. You’ll play a key role in the development process by evaluating and analyzing results, particularly fatigue, and work on improvements together with designers to achieve projects goals. 

Your Profile

• A master's degree in mechanical engineering or Vehicle Engineering with specialization in applied mechanics or strength of materials. Alternatively, a similar education or equivalent work experience. 
• Experience as a Calculation Engineer or similar. 
• Strong analytical abilities, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills. 
• Proficiency in Altair HyperWorks, Optistruct, or similar software. 
• Proficiency in both spoken and written English. Proficiency in Swedish is a plus.

We are looking for you who are curious and have an eye for improvement work, as a significant aspect of the role involves method development. Our vision is to reduce lead times in our project development by closing the gap between simulation and testing. Here you’ll have the opportunity to work closely with our test engineers in our lab. If you value collaboration and are eager to contribute to a team where knowledge sharing is central, this position is for you!
