Job Description

At Colibrium Additive, part of GE Aerospace, we’re on a mission to bring the transformative power of additive manufacturing to industries around the world.  We’re seeking an experienced and people-centred Engineering Manager to lead our Electron Beam Melting (EBM) Process & Materials team in Goteborg, Sweden.  In this role, you’ll own the core process capability of our EBM technology—from material behaviour and process parameters to system-level performance and customer outcomes—translating breakthrough engineering into reliable, scalable, and differentiated customer value.

Our customers operate in highly regulated, high-stakes environments—primarily the aerospace industry and the medical industry—where our EBM machines are used to print parts for jet engines and orthopaedic implants.  The Process & Materials team is responsible for defining how the machine builds; the parameters, themes, material specifications, process windows, and control strategies that turn hardware and software into a repeatable, industrial system.  As the engineering Manager of Process and Material Development. You will work closely with the Executive Manager of Technology and our engineering staff to innovate and deliver high-quality EBM capabilities for our customers. 

What You’ll Do

• Lead and grow a talented team of engineers focused on EBM process and materials, with a strong emphasis on coaching, mentorship, and career development.
• Own process parameter/theme configuration and material specifications for the electron beam process and system, from concept to production readiness.
• Define and evolve process control architecture and specifications for software simulation and machine control—with a focus on quality, stability, and speed.
• Champion customer success in aerospace and medical applications by continuously improving how customers use and scale EBM—turning insights from jet engine components and orthopaedic implant manufacturing into repeatable, validated outcomes.
• Partner across engineering to drive New Product Introduction (NPI), resource planning, and cross-functional execution that delivers on Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost.
• Manage related R&D labs, equipment, and procedures to enable future capabilities, ensuring world-class lab safety, compliance, and readiness.
• Translate innovation to impact by optimizing EBM for outcomes that matter: weight reduction and thermal performance in engines to support fuel efficiency goals, and implant geometries that enhance patient function and comfort.

What You’ll Bring

• Advanced degree (master’s or PhD) in engineering physics, materials science or a related field.
• Track record of leading and developing engineering teams (5+ years), including hiring, coaching, and performance management in fast-paced, technical environments.
• Demonstrated success delivering technical innovations into product capabilities and customer applications—ideally including process and materials expertise applied to aerospace components (e.g., jet engine parts) and/or medical devices such as orthopaedic implants.
• Working knowledge of iterative engineering methods (lean, kanban, scrum) and a continuous improvement mindset.
• Clear, confident communications capabilities and the ability to build trust with customers and across internal teams.

Why Colibrium Additive, part of GE Aerospace

• Impact that matters: EBM breakthroughs you lead help reduce fuel burn and emissions through lighter, more efficient jet engine components—and help people regain mobility and live better through advanced orthopaedic implants with tailored porosity and patient-centric design.
• Collaboration:  We work and win as one team, accountable to each other and our customers, and we are always finding a better way to improve and climb higher together.
• Leadership and growth: Lead a high-calibre team and shape technical strategy while building capability, culture, and career paths.
• Mission and culture: At GE Aerospace, we invent the future of flight and bring people home safely. Grounded in respect for people and a relentless commitment to Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost.
• FLIGHTDECK Operating System: We are committed to continuous improvement and our lean ways of working, empowering teams to learn fast, solve problems at the root, and deliver value.

Location

• Sweden-based role with close collaboration across our global Colibrium Additive and GE Aerospace engineering communities.
