Hydraulics Engineer

Stockholm – Full-time

Wind helped us discover our planet — now it can help us preserve it.

On behalf of AlfaWall Oceanbird, we are now looking for a Hydraulics Engineer to join their fast-growing and highly innovative team in Stockholm.

Oceanbird is driving a revolution within sustainable shipping by developing wing sail technology for the global maritime market. The company is a 50/50 joint venture between Alfa Laval and Wallenius, backed by strong industrial expertise but operating as an independent, forward-leaning organization.

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a company at the forefront of transforming global shipping.

The hydraulic system is at the very core of Oceanbird’s wing sail technology — essentially acting as its heart and muscles. It consists of a large main hydraulic power unit, a backup system, cylinders and motors enabling the wing’s main actuation functions.

The project is currently in an exciting phase, with the first full-scale system being tested at their test site in Landskrona.

In this role, you will:

• Design hydraulic systems and create hydraulic schematic diagrams

• Select key components such as valves, pumps, filters and piping

• Perform hands-on testing, including measurements and analysis of results

• Ensure system safety and conduct risk assessments

• Participate in testing and commissioning onboard vessels

• Define requirements, concepts and solutions for future generations of the system

• Act as the technical interface towards suppliers

• Support regulatory processes and documentation

To succeed in this role, you likely have:

• A Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in hydraulics, mechanical or mechatronics engineering

• Experience or education within hydraulic system design

• A self-driven and proactive mindset

• Strong collaboration skills and a team-oriented approach

It is considered a strong advantage if you have experience in one or more of the following:

• Practical hydraulic installation work

• Hydraulic testing, measurement tools and data analysis

• Hydraulic design tools (preferably HyDraw)

• Control systems, sensors and electrical installations

• Modeling and simulation (Matlab/Simulink)

• Mechanical CAD (preferably CREO)

• Cross-functional engineering collaboration

• Marine industry experience and knowledge of DNV regulations

The role involves regular travel to the test site in Landskrona, as well as participation in commissioning onboard oceangoing vessels.

Relocation support is available for the right candidate.
