Company context
VNT-001 AB is a Sweden-based operating company that builds and owns multiple brands across biotech/public-health products (institutional/B2B) and consumer health (supplements). The company runs a shared internal team and shared infrastructure across brands including manufacturing, packaging, regulatory coordination, logistics, and go-to-market execution. One biotech/public-health platform has fulfilled a ~$6M U.S. state-level contract for large-scale distribution of a public-health testing product. All work is internal and there is no client or agency work.
Short role summary
You will execute mechanical development for a second-generation physical product used in public-health environments. The focus is practical engineering including fewer parts, better reliability, cleaner assembly, and manufacturability at scale.
Responsibilities
- Design and iterate mechanical components and assemblies for a field-use physical product
- Drive DFM and DFA decisions including part consolidation, tolerance strategy, and assembly simplification
- Own prototype cycles with rapid iterations early and controlled builds as the design locks
- Build and run testing including fixtures, protocols, reliability checks, failure analysis, and corrective actions
- Coordinate with tooling vendors and contract manufacturers to move from prototype to production
- Maintain disciplined documentation including drawings, BOMs, revisions, and change history
- Required skills / experience
- Degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent experience with 3+ years of product development work
- Strong CAD capability and production drawing discipline with manufacturing-ready outputs
- Experience with manufacturing processes such as plastics, die-cutting, bonding, and assembly
- Proven ability to take designs from prototype to production within constraints
- Comfort operating in regulated contexts where documentation and change control are required
- Practical mindset where solutions must work on a factory floor an
