Production Engineering Manager

Your role and responsibilities

ABB is investing SEK 3.1 billion to expand its production capacity in Europe and build a new state-of-the-art European ABB Robotics Campus in Västerås. As part of our "local for local" production strategy, the campus will serve as a hub for ABB Robotics' offering in Europe, providing customers with AI-equipped collaborative and industrial robots as well as digital solutions to enable flexible automation. The new campus, scheduled to open in late 2026, will replace the existing robotics facilities in Västerås.

As part of the construction of a new ABB Robotics Campus, we are implementing a new Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for the production of industrial robots. Join our team to create a workplace for the future! As one of twelve skilled engineers in our Factory IT & Digitalization department, you will be a central part of our MES implementation project and you will face many new challenges and opportunities along the way.

The MES engineer works in close cooperation with the production engineering teams and is an active party in analyzing, implementing, developing and supporting MES and interfacing with surrounding systems. This requires programming skills and an interest in the manufacturing processes from different perspectives: operator, quality engineering, quality assurance, logistics, etc.

You will be part of a small team, where your broad and deep development experience is crucial. As we are in an intense project phase, you will be both a mentor to others in developer skills, as well as a skilled at understanding our complex production.

  • Analytical, evaluative, problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
  • Experience with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tools, such as SAP, is a plus.
  • English and Swedish. Swedish education is available. We attach great importance to personality. Do not hesitate to apply if you are the right person, but lack one or more of the skills.
