Hardware Manager – Production Engineering and Technology

Are you a hands-on, forward-leaning leader with a passion for hardware and industrial systems? Do you enjoy building strong teams and driving real impact in a high-tech production environment? At Axis, we develop and manufacture world-leading network video products — and we’re now looking for a Hardware Manager to join Production Engineering and Technology (PET) at our headquarters in Lund.

Who is your future team?
You will lead a team of 12 engineers working across mechanical and electronics development, focused on the machines and systems that power Axis production. This includes everything from optical alignment solutions to other advanced manufacturing equipment. The systems you’ll work with often combine motion, control, and precision — motors, sensors, and electrical cabinets are central building blocks.

The team uses Creo for mechanical development, Windchill for documentation and E-plan for electrical design. You’ll work closely with software, QA, and industrialization teams, playing an important role in shaping how we develop and improve our production capabilities.

As part of the PET management team, you collaborate with managers, product owners, and project leaders to align priorities, drive improvements, and ensure our global manufacturing runs smoothly.

What will you do?
You’ll lead your team both strategically and operationally, with focus on:

• Setting direction, goals, and priorities for the group
• Driving continuous improvement in tools, processes, and ways of working
• Coaching and developing your team
• Resource planning, recruitment, and performance management
• Budget responsibility and delivery follow-up
• Contributing to the broader PET management agenda

Who are we looking for?
We’re looking for a pragmatic and engaged leader who enjoys working close to technology and people alike. You bring a solid technical foundation and know how to create clarity, structure, and momentum in a team.

You likely have:

• A degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, or similar
• Several years of experience leading hardware or cross-functional engineering teams
• Experience from industrial systems involving electronics, mechanics, and motion
• Familiarity with tools such as Creo, PLM systems like Windchill, E-plan or Xpedition,
• Strong communication skills in Swedish and English.

Technical environment
Creo, Windchill, E-plan, Xpedition industrial control systems, motors, sensors, and electrical cabinets.
