Mechatronics Development Engineer

Alva Industries is looking for multiple Mechatronics Development Engineers to join their FiberPrinting™ team in Trondheim. You will play a key role in designing, building, and testing the advanced, custom-built machines that produce the stators for Alva’s world-leading thin electric motors.

The Role

This is a highly interdisciplinary, hands-on position where you will take ideas from concept to reality. You will split your time between desk-based design work and practical time in the workshop, building machines and assisting with production. You will follow your designs through to operation, working in a fast-paced environment with minimal administration.

Key Responsibilities

• Software & Vision: Develop machine vision applications, create datasets for machine learning, and implement inline measurements and defect detection on the production floor.
• Machine Development: Design mechanical systems and components, from initial whiteboard sketches to reliable production machines.
• Automation & Reliability: Improve motion control, machine integration, and overall system performance through continuous troubleshooting and testing.

What We Offer

• A unique opportunity to grow as an engineer across multiple disciplines.
• A key role in a small, collaborative, and international engineering team.
• A culture that values initiative, transparency, and continuous learning.
• Direct access to experts and the production line at our Trondheim facility.

We are looking for engineers with a proven ability to develop, build, and test technical solutions. Whether your background is in mechanical design, mechatronics, automation, or software development, we encourage you to apply if you enjoy solving complex technical problems in a hands-on environment.
