CAD engineer Catator

Do you want to work close to technology and manufacturing in a role where material understanding engineering competence and personal responsibility are central
Catator is now looking for a CAD Engineer who wants to contribute to the development of advanced catalyst solutions by taking technical concepts all the way from idea to final manufacturing documentation.

About the role

As a CAD Engineer at Catator you will work in a high-tech environment where catalyst solutions and thermal processes are developed for the rapidly growing hydrogen industry. The role is technical and operationally close with responsibility for transforming basic concepts from process engineers and researchers into designs that are manufacturable cost-effective and robust.

You will work on both larger and smaller projects often in parallel phases with short development cycles from concept to production within a few months. The work involves close dialogue with R&D internal technical specialists and external manufacturing partners where you play a central role in ensuring that the design works in practice.

The position offers a high degree of independence and the opportunity to influence technology ways of working and the quality of the final products.

Your responsibilities

Develop detailed designs and manufacturing drawings based on Catators Basic Design models
Model both large assemblies and detailed components
Ensure correct tolerance settings and adaptation to relevant manufacturing techniques (sheet metal forming CNC machining rolling etc.)
Develop material and design solutions that perform under high temperature pressure and advanced process conditions
Participate in design reviews and contribute to technical improvements and risk reduction
Produce bill of materials (BOM) and complete drawing packages especially for smaller and recurring projects
Collaborate with R&D on matters related to concepts process design and functionality
Follow up and communicate with manufacturers to ensure manufacturability and quality
Manage several parallel development tracks with short lead times

Your background

Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Manufacturing Engineering or equivalent technical education
At least three years of experience in CAD design
Experience from manufacturing environments and practical understanding of how metal components are produced
Good knowledge of metal fabrication: sheet metal bending rolling CNC machining and welded structures
Understanding of metal material properties and how materials are selected and dimensioned for different loads
Meritorious experience: high-temperature design pressurised components or knowledge of heat exchangers
SolidWorks is an advantage but experience with other CAD systems (e.g. Inventor) is equally relevant

Personal attributes

Proactive and self-initiated
Independent and structured in your way of working
Cooperative and unpretentious
Practically oriented engineer with good understanding of manufacturing
Solution-oriented and quality-focused

About Catator

Catator delivers cutting-edge catalyst solutions to the hydrogen industry. The world is rapidly transitioning to renewable energy sources like wind and solar. However to store energy when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing large amounts of hydrogen are needed: according to the International Energy Agency about 650 megatons of hydrogen per year by 2050. Thats a lot of hydrogen!

To accelerate this green transition Catator offers its patented and world-leading catalyst solutions to the hydrogen industry. Catators solutions are used by manufacturers of fuel cell systems and hydrogen producers. We work exclusively with OEM customers several of which are leading multinational companies.

Catator was founded in 1990 by a group of researchers at Lund University. Over the years we have developed deep IP and know-how in catalysis and catalytic process design. Our headquarters are located in Lund. Our premises are well adapted to our business and include in-house production of catalysts and advanced research and test facilities.
