Elias Carlander

I'm Elias, a Master of Science in Engineering student in Design and Product Development at Linköping University, specializing in Technical Design.

I'm driven by a constant urge to learn new things, from exploring how AI and the tools I work with can be used in the product development process, to tinkering with electronics and baking, to understanding why people care about a product or service. Over the last two summers at Scania, I led my own product development project for a truck component and worked on prototyping using CAD and 3D printing.

At university, my bachelor's thesis explored how to increase data collection in analog hospital training exercises. It taught me the importance of meeting people on their own terms within their profession, while using technology to enable better data collection and analysis. I have also worked as a teaching assistant in the course Interactive Products.

I thrive at the intersection of engineering and design, turning ideas into products that both work well and feel right to use. I'm now looking for roles in product development where I can bridge the two.
