Mechanics

A Mechanical Engineer works broadly and is involved from idea to finished product. They work to improve products and usually work together in a team with a number of other different roles such as design, electronics, software, testing, and quality. Mechanical solutions are developed and adapted to the surrounding functions of a product or system. As a Mechanical Engineer, it is important to talk about features!

The need/behavior then controls which solution it becomes, so-called function-based construction.

It´s very difficult to choose one of all projects. Elonroad was fun because it was a new technology to work with. Diagonal Bio was a very fun project because we got to be involved from the beginning, from design to production. Being able to work in-house with a team with disciplines from design to electronics and software allows us to take a holistic approach that few can, and thus give the customer a better solution.

We have a flat organization so I have been involved in everything from how we work more efficiently in our roles to being involved in quotation writing for our customers to final development and validation.

In high school, I studied technics and then I studied 120 points in college. In college, I studied Mechanical Engineering with a focus on energy and the environment.
I think the training provided a good foundation, and you learn where to find knowledge.

However, the most important thing is to constantly be curious.

Mainly, I use a CAD program called SolidWorks. Since you do a lot of prototype development in-house, you also use other programs such as Lightburn for the laser cutter, Prusa slicer for the 3D printers and Fusion 360 for our CNC mill.

Otherwise, I work in the Office suite to create bill of materials, reports and presentations.
