Want to shape the future of waterborne transport and join a world-class team?

Candela is the global leader in electric hydrofoil vessels. Since 2014, we’ve gone from building our first premium electric speedboat in a small Stockholm workshop to delivering game-changing vessels around the globe. The Candela P-12 is our latest innovation - the world’s first electric hydrofoil ferry is not just operating in Stockholm, but now attracting orders from around the world.
Our boats “fly” thanks to computer-guided underwater wings under the hull made out of lightweight carbon fiber. The wings lift the vessel above the water, which results in cutting energy use by up to 80%, while offering zero emissions and a far better passenger experience than traditional diesel vessels.

And that’s exactly why we do this. Our mission is clear: to speed up the transition to fossil fuel–free lakes and oceans.

We are now looking for an Electrical Engineer to support Candela’s growth ambitions. In this role, you will design, develop, and optimize the low-voltage electrical systems that bring our boats to life. From control harnesses to distribution units, you’ll work hands-on with Zuken E3 to turn concepts into robust, production-ready designs. Your work will directly influence the reliability, safety, and performance of our craft — helping us push the boundaries of marine innovation. You will join a close-knit team and collaborate closely with colleagues across R&D and production. 

What You’ll Do

• Lead the design of advanced low-voltage electrical assemblies, harnesses, and subsystems.
• Create and maintain components in the Zuken E3 library, ensuring accuracy and consistency across projects.
• Ensure that the schematic structure is scalable and maintainable for long-term use.
• Produce panel layout drawings using E3 Panel.
• Generate high-quality documentation using the E3 Report Generator to support manufacturing and certification.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, software, and manufacturing engineers to ensure seamless integration across the vessel.
• Drive continuous improvements in our design processes, tools, and standards.
• Share your expertise and mentor others, helping to raise the bar for electrical engineering within the team.

What we are looking for

• Educational background in Electrical Engineering at upper secondary, vocational or university level, or equivalent experience. 
• Proven experience as an Electrical Engineer, with a strong track record of delivering complex projects from concept to production.
• Deep expertise in Zuken E3 (schematics, Panel, libraries, and report generation).
• Strong understanding of low-voltage electrical system design principles, standards, and safety requirements.
• A problem-solving mindset with the ability to balance innovation, cost, and reliability.
• A collaborative spirit — you thrive in cross-functional environments and enjoy working hands-on with other disciplines.
