Fiskars Group 

AI & Innovation Engineer – R&D 

OUR ROLE 

We are looking for a curious and forward-thinking AI & Innovation Engineer to join Fiskars R&D. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced R&D, engineering, design or product development professional who is passionate about AI and wants to explore how emerging technologies can transform the way physical products are imagined, developed and improved. 

Your mission? To help our R&D teams turn the possibilities of AI into practical ways of working. You will work across Front End Innovation, New Product Development and Lifecycle Engineering, collaborating with engineers, industrial designers, project managers and other R&D experts. You will identify opportunities where AI can create real value and turn them into practical workflows, prototypes, agents and internal tools. 

We are looking for someone with some R&D/product development experience, such as engineering, design, or a relevant field, who then became interested in AI. We are not looking for someone with purely software developer AI experience. 

A key part of the role will be exploring and developing solutions using tools such as Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Studio, Power Platform and Lovable, while working closely with IT to ensure successful solutions can be securely deployed and scaled. 

If you are passionate about products, innovation and AI, and are already using new technologies to work differently, Fiskars Group is the place for you. 

This position is based in Espoo, Finland, and reports to our Senior Director, R&D. The role is full-time and hybrid.

Responsibilities: 

• Identify opportunities to leverage AI across Front End innovation, New Product Development and Lifecycle Engineering. 

• Explore and evaluate emerging AI tools and digital technologies relevant to R&D and physical product development.

• Help R&D teams adopt AI tools and develop new ways of working.  

• Partner closely with IT to deploy scalable, secure and sustainable AI solutions.  

• Measure the impact of AI initiatives and continuously identify new opportunities to accelerate R&D performance. 

WHO YOU ARE  

Experience:

• Professional background in R&D, engineering, design, innovation or physical product development.  

• Good understanding of how products progress from early exploration and concept development through NPD, validation and lifecycle activities. 

• Practical track record of applying AI technologies, automation or digital tools to improve engineering, innovation, product development or business processes.  

• Strong working knowledge of AI-enabled platforms such as Lovable, Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Studio, Power Platform or similar tools. 

• Proven ability to create prototypes, internal tools, dashboards or digital solutions using low-code, no-code or AI-assisted development platforms. 

• Understanding of data governance, information security, intellectual property and responsible AI practices.
