Are you passionate about AI, computer vision, and smart manufacturing? Do you want your thesis work to contribute directly to improving quality in a high-tech production environment? Apply here 🎯
At Westermo, quality is at the heart of everything we do. As we continue to invest in digitalisation, automation, and AI, we see great opportunities to further strengthen how quality is secured in our manufacturing processes.
For the spring semester of 2027, we are offering an exciting Master's or Bachelor's thesis opportunity where you will develop and evaluate a vision-based operator support system for quality inspection in electronics production.
About the Quality Team
The Quality Department in Stora Sundby plays a central role in ensuring that Westermo’s products and manufacturing processes maintain the highest standards. The team works closely with Production, Engineering, Supply Chain, and customers to drive continuous improvements, analyse quality trends, handle non-conformances, and strengthen quality performance throughout the entire product lifecycle. Quality Engineers are involved from new product introduction through production, warranty, and after-sales activities, making quality an integrated part of everything we do.
As part of your thesis, you will collaborate with experienced quality and manufacturing professionals and gain valuable insight into how modern quality assurance is carried out in a global technology company.
Are You Our Next Thesis Student in Vision-Based Quality Inspection?
In our factory in Stora Sundby, approximately 120 employees manufacture high-quality industrial networking products that are delivered to customers and partners around the world.
