Role Description

This is a full-time on-site role located in Lund for a Field Services Engineer.

Qualifications

You will be traveling in Sweden and Europe (Mediterranean area) quite extensively (60-80 days per year). Trips to Asia, the US, Africa, and South America could eventually also be necessary.
