Thesis work at R&D Handheld ICE – Power Systems – Base Engine

Job description

Last date to apply: 14 May 2026 We are now looking for master students in mechanical engineering, that are interested in doing their thesis project at our 2-stroke engine development department. We are one of the world’s oldest start‑ups – and this is just the beginning. At Husqvarna Group, we develop world‑class products and technologies for forest, park, and green space care. Within our Global Handheld R&D division, we are driving the development of the next generation of powertrains, where the two‑stroke engine plays a central role for our most demanding users, both today and in the future. The Base Engine team is responsible for the cylinder, piston, crankshaft, and bearings, including interfaces with other subsystems. Background: Threaded holes with wedge ramp features, such as Spiralock™ and Safe-Lock™, to improve the performance of screw joints have been on the market for some time.
