As Product Engineer, you will lead the technical implementation of new products, product moves and improvements to the existing range. You will translate product requirements into robust product and production solutions, secure clear documentation, and work closely with suppliers and cross-functional IKEA partners to deliver quality, compliance, scalability and customer value.
