Do you enjoy working close to products, product development and seeing scientific insight turn into something tangible? Join us in enabling breakthrough science alongside curious, highly skilled colleagues.\nAt Bluefors, we design and manufacture the world’s most advanced cryogenic cooling systems, enabling leading research and emerging technologies such as quantum computing. To strengthen our research and innovation activities in cooling technologies, Cooling Team within Offering Development is now looking for a Scientist with strong physical insight and a clear focus on real-world products.\nIn this role, you will work closely on hardware and system development, contributing scientific expertise directly to the design, validation, and optimization of cryogenic cooling systems. You will collaborate closely with engineers, system experts, and project teams, translating physical understanding into practical, robust, and scalable solutions. Your work will support system-level decision-making and help ensure Bluefors’ cooling solutions meet the demanding requirements of advanced scientific and industrial applications. You will engage in international collaboration with Bluefors teams and external partners, contributing to joint development.\nThe role offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of scientific research and commercial product development, turning scientific insight and new ideas into practical solutions that can be developed into mature, scalable products in an industrial environment.\nWe are looking for an expert who enjoys combining theory with practice, is curious about how systems behave in the real world and takes pride in building solutions that work reliably outside the lab. You will operate in a multidisciplinary environment where scientific thinking, engineering execution, and collaboration go hand in hand.\nWhy join us?\nWe offer you an interesting, challenging, and responsible position, supported by a highly skilled and growing organization. This is an excellent opportunity for your own professional growth in a dynamic, enthusiastic, and professional team where we work together and support each other. We offer a multicultural working environment with room to grow, where you can fully use your potential and continuously develop your skills.\nFor a Cryogenic Engineer or physicist this role offers a unique opportunity to work between research and real-world applications, exploring complex physical phenomena while also contributing to how scientific insights can evolve into new technologies and products.\nMain responsibilities:\nApply physics-based understanding to the development and optimization of cryogenic cooling systems\n\nAnalyze and model thermal, mechanical, and physical phenomena in cryogenic environments\n\nParticipate in concept development, validation activities, and structured problem-solving\n\nDrive scientific concepts and findings towards practical product applications, supporting their development from early ideas into mature and scalable solutions\n\nCollaborate closely with engineers, system experts, and project teams\n\nContribute to continuous improvement of cooling performance, robustness, and reliability\n\nDocument and communicate scientific findings clearly to diverse technical and non-technical stakeholders\n\nWhat we expect from you:\nMSc or PhD in Cryogenic Engineering, physics or a closely related field\n\nStrong understanding of physics relevant to cryogenic or low-temperature systems\n\nAbility to translate theoretical insight into practical engineering relevance\n\nInterest in the commercial application of science and motivation to turn scientific insight into products and solutions that create customer and business value\n\nAnalytical and structured way of working\n\nCuriosity, critical thinking, and a solution-oriented mindset\n\nExcellent collaboration and communication skills in a multi-stakeholder environment\n\nFluency in English, both written and spoken\n\nWe also appreciate:\nExperience with cryogenics, low-temperature physics\n\nExperience working close to hardware or experimental systems\n\nExperience of Mechanical Engineering (CAD software)\n\nExperience of software tools related to measurements and data analyses (Python)\n\nExposure to multidisciplinary product development environments\n\nA positive, hands-on attitude with strong problem-solving skills\n\nCuriosity and passion for high-end technology\n\nPlease apply as soon as possible, on November 27, 2026, at the latest through our recruitment system at BLUEFORS.COM. We will start reviewing the applications on an ongoing basis and the position will be filled as soon as a suitable candidate is found.
