Do you like to work hands-on in a technical environment with access to digital and manual machinery to prototype new products? Would you consider it a great opportunity to be the operative link between ideas to practical solutions? Are you a creative and curious person with a passion for 3D printing using plastics?
Let us introduce the IKEA Prototype shop. Based in Älmhult, at the very heart of IKEA, we are involved in all new product development and creation for IKEA’s global product range. You will work in a dynamic, high-tech environment, where the latest equipment such as CNC routers, 3D printers, laser cutters and other sophisticated hardware and software are part of the toolbox for prototyping.

What will you do?
You will make prototypes on behalf of designers and engineers within 3D printing as specialist area. Your prototypes will clearly show the product design and its characteristics. You will contribute by bringing knowledge and skills in prototyping and contribute regarding construction, material and production into the process. You will work together with Designers and Engineers on how to realize products and technical solutions effectively with 3D printing.
The key here is to bring your progressive curiosity and creativity. We are going to challenge your skills when it comes to finding the best solutions of prototypes. Working together is important for us and we think that we are strongest together.
Who are you then?
We believe you like to work hands-on and you have the curiosity built into your hands. You have the drive to always try and figure how things are designed, and then an urge to come up with an even better solution.
