Are you energized by cutting‑edge physics, research & development of real‑world hardware, and solving complex problems that matter? 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.

At 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 Cooling team within Offering Development, we are now looking for a Scientist, Cooling with strong physical insight and a clear focus on real‑world products.

In 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.

We 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.

We 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.

Main responsibilities:

• Apply physics‑based understanding to the development and optimization of cryogenic cooling systems

• Analyze and model thermal, mechanical, and physical phenomena in cryogenic environments

• Participate in concept development, validation activities, and structured problem‑solving

• Collaborate closely with engineers, system experts, and project teams

• Contribute to continuous improvement of cooling performance, robustness, and reliability

• Document and communicate scientific findings clearly to diverse technical and non‑technical stakeholders

What we expect from you:

• MSc or PhD in physics or a closely related field

• Strong understanding of physics relevant to cryogenic or low‑temperature systems

• Ability to translate theoretical insight into practical engineering relevance

• Analytical and structured way of working

• Curiosity, critical thinking, and a solution‑oriented mindset

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills in a multi‑stakeholder environment

• Fluency in English, both written and spoken

We also appreciate:

• Experience with cryogenics, low‑temperature physics

• Experience working close to hardware or experimental systems

• Experience of Mechanical Engineering (CAD software)

• Experience of software tools related to measurements and data analyses (Python)

• Exposure to multidisciplinary product development environments

• A positive, hands‑on attitude with strong problem‑solving skills

• Curiosity and passion for high‑end technology

Please apply as soon as possible, on May 10, 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.
