Klättermusen is looking for a Product Developer Assistant – Hardware (Packs & Equipment)
Since 1975 Klättermusen has been a pioneer in making refined Scandinavian Mountaineering Equipment. The designs combine utility and extreme durability, always with consideration of the environment in mind. Klättermusen supports and inspire outdoor enthusiasts through unforgiving weather conditions and unpredictable terrains. Rigorously tested in real-world conditions, the equipment embodies Klättermusen’s commitment to creating the best and most sustainable equipment available.
At Klättermusen, we design and develop equipment built to perform in the most demanding outdoor environments. We are now looking for a curious and hands-on Product Developer Assistant to support the creation of our backpacks, bags, and carry systems — products defined by durability, functionality, and long-term reliability. In this role, you will contribute to turning technical ideas and concepts into well-crafted outdoor equipment, supporting the development process from early prototypes to production readiness.
You will report to the Hardware Design Lead and work closely with our Product Developer(s) throughout the full development cycle — from early concept mockups and prototype iterations to final production handover. This is a junior, growth-oriented role with real responsibility, ideal for someone who is detail-focused, solution-driven, and excited to learn by doing.
What you’ll do:
Build and maintain development documentation for packs and equipment styles
Prepare and update tech packs, technical drawings, construction notes, and specs
Manage BOMs (webbing, foams, buckles, reinforcements, fabrics, trims and colors) with accuracy
Coordinate prototype requests, track samples and prices with supplier
Review prototypes for construction quality, functionality, load paths, and durability in close collaboration with Product Developer
Support functional testing (carry comfort, load distribution, wear & abrasion) and log results
Help run working sessions: measure, document changes, and track decisions
Communicate with suppliers on timelines, proto comments, and improvements
Update PLM and keep seasonal data up to date
Help prepare final documentation for production and bulk handover
Hands‑on prototyping support
Create quick mockups of pockets, straps, harness parts, and construction details
Use a sewing machine for simple build‑ups and sample tweaks
Build small physical models to convey concepts clearly to design, PD, and suppliers
Collaboration
Report to the Hardware Design Lead for direction and priority setting
Work side‑by‑side with Product Development on day‑to‑day progress and vendor communication
Partner with Design, Materials, and Sourcing teams as projects evolve
What you bring:
A degree in Industrial Design, Product Development, Textile Engineering, or similar
Basic understanding of soft‑goods construction and pack‑building principles
Good skills in Adobe Illustrator for technical drawings and spec updates
Some experience with 3D tools (e.g., Clo, Blender, Rhino, Fusion)—beginner level is enough
Practical ability to create mockups / functional detail models
Comfortable using a sewing machine for quick prototypes and adjustments
Strong organization, careful with measurements and documentation
Clear communication and ease working with international suppliers
A curious, problem‑solving mindset and interest in outdoor equipment
This is a junior role: we don’t expect expert‑level mastery—just initiative, care for detail, and eagerness to learn fast.
What Klättermusen offers:
A development‑focused role with visible impact on future hardware performance
Long‑term growth within a premium, purpose‑driven outdoor brand
A fast‑moving environment with meaningful responsibility from day one
Exposure to international sourcing, suppliers, and advanced construction methods
A workplace rooted in the outdoors—Åre is both our home and our testing ground
Field‑testing involvement aligned with our philosophy:
“Maximum safety for you, minimum impact on nature.”
The position is based in Åre and starts as soon as possible.
