Senior Mechanical Engineer

On behalf of our client, Anticimex Innovation Center, Asgaard Recruitment is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to strengthen the mechanical engineering discipline and contribute to the development, improvement, and industrialization of smart, connected products operating in demanding real-world environments.

Anticimex is a global leader in modern pest control and prevention. At Anticimex Innovation Center, ideas move from sketch to prototype to launched smart devices that transform pest control into a data-driven and more sustainable industry.

The role

As Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will take a central role in developing and improving physical products where mechanics, electronics, and firmware come together. This includes close cross-functional collaboration with electronics, software, and firmware specialists to ensure that the mechanical design supports the full product architecture and contributes to the best possible overall solution.

The role combines hands-on mechanical development with technical leadership. You will help set the professional standard for mechanical design, support task coordination within the team, and contribute to stronger engineering practices across design reviews, release discipline, root-cause analysis, testing, documentation, and change management.

A key part of the role will be to strengthen the mechanical foundation of existing products already deployed at large scale. Initially, much of the focus will be on improving and troubleshooting current products, while over time the role will increasingly include new product development, next-generation solutions, and larger product improvements.

The position is primarily based in Bagsværd, with regular presence in Helsinge expected – typically around one day per week – to stay close to production, products, and technical problem-solving.

Your key responsibilities

You will:

• Develop and improve mechanical components, assemblies, and product designs

• Drive mechanical troubleshooting and structured root-cause analysis

• Contribute to new product development from concept through industrialization

• Work with Stage-Gate processes, including validation, testing, and release activities

• Strengthen design review practices, documentation quality, and engineering discipline

• Support Engineering Change processes and controlled releases

• Apply DFM/DFA principles to ensure scalable and robust manufacturing

• Collaborate closely with production colleagues, internal stakeholders, and external suppliers

You will become a key technical voice in the mechanical discipline, helping raise the engineering standard and ensuring that products are designed not only to work, but to work reliably at scale.

Who you are

You are an experienced mechanical engineer with deep technical expertise and a strong interest in building physical products that must perform in the real world. You enjoy hands-on mechanical design, structured problem-solving, and turning technical findings into robust, manufacturable solutions.

You likely bring:

• 7–10+ years of experience in mechanical product development

• Strong experience with mechanical system design, tolerancing, materials, and manufacturability

• Experience with SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD tools

• Experience with root-cause analysis methods such as 5 Whys, 8D, or similar

• Experience working in structured product development models such as Stage-Gate

• Knowledge of DFM/DFA, production collaboration, and supplier management

• Professional proficiency in English

It is an advantage if you have experience with injection molding, sheet metal, machined components, GD&T, FEA/CFD, test fixtures, FMEA, ISO 9001, PDM/PLM systems, or mechatronic products.

Why Anticimex Innovation Center

Anticimex Innovation Center is at a pivotal moment – moving from a fast-moving scale-up approach toward a more professional and scalable product-development organization, without losing agility.

Today, Anticimex has around 600,000 connected devices deployed globally, creating both strong proof of success and a need to further mature engineering practices, product robustness, and long-term ownership.

You will join an organization with strong ambitions, short decision paths, and real opportunities to influence how products are designed, improved, tested, documented, and industrialized. You will help raise the technical level of the mechanical discipline and play an important part in building more scalable in-house development capabilities.

Is this you?

If you are motivated by mechanical product development, technical problem-solving, and the opportunity to help shape the next generation of intelligent pest control solutions, we would like to hear from you.

We review applications continuously and conduct interviews on an ongoing basis.
