Senior Electrical Engineer

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.

You can be part of the amazing team in Candela now! We are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to support Candela’s future growth ambitions.
