We are hiring Prototyping Technicians to join the Production Engineering team (reporting to the Production Engineering Team Lead). These roles sit within the Engineering organization, working side-by-side with engineers to prototype, commission, inspect, and document new processes and assemblies before they are released into serial production.

This is a hands-on technical role inside Engineering, not Production. Prototyping Technicians are a vital part of product development process and will become experts in the hand-on aspects of prototyping and developing new products and technologies.

The role spans three main areas of work:

Commissioning new designs – building the first prototypes of new custom and portfolio designs, carrying out detailed inspections, and confirming that tools and outputs function as intended.
Prototyping new technologies – working hands-on with engineers to trial new concepts, materials, and process methods.
Supporting production improvements – implementing and testing corrective actions where production issues require engineering validation or prototyping before rollout to the line.

In all areas, you will be expected to master hands-on processes, provide structured feedback, and create accurate documentation that becomes part of the engineering release to production.

Key Tasks In This Role

Build, prototype, and commission electric motor assemblies using Alva’s FiberPrinting™ and related processes.
Perform and master all process-specific tasks, including:
Magnet insertion and gluing
Epoxy preparation and potting
FiberPrinting™ copper stator mats
Composite wrapping of rotors
Soldering and wiring
Machining and workshop operations
Create and maintain process documentation (procedures, photos, videos) as an engineering deliverable.
Conduct dimensional and electrical inspection of prototypes and early builds.
Provide structured feedback and troubleshooting support during early-stage builds.
Assist with intake inspection and preparation of new components.

What We Are Looking For

Essential:

At least one year of experience in a production or workshop environment.
Proven ability to follow and produce clear technical documentation.
Strong adaptability — capable of mastering all process activities.
Fluency in English or Norwegian.
Reliable, team-oriented, with good communication and a proactive mindset.

Preferred:

Experience in soldering, epoxy/adhesive handling, or machine shop work.
Familiarity with inspection and measuring equipment.
Prior experience commissioning processes or working in close collaboration with engineers.
Formal training or qualifications as an electrician, technician, or machinist.
