Technical consulting company Sigma Industry Development is growing and strengthening its offering by scaling the organization with two key positions. Amir Alizadeh joins as Head of the Calculation Section and Mattias Bäckman takes on the role of Section Head of Product Development 3.

Amir Alizadeh, Section Manager Calculation

With an education in engineering physics with a specialization in strength theory and experience from safety and the construction sector, Amir has been part of Sigma for almost seven years. His professional experience spans various roles both with customers and internally, such as coordination role and calculation engineer. In recent years, he has worked on the development of electric buses and has been a team leader for the calculation team with an active focus on business development within the area.

– I am really looking forward to my new role and the opportunity to develop the calculations section together with my colleagues in the team. I believe that my experience as a group leader and the knowledge from Sigma's leadership program Propeller will create good conditions going forward, says Amir.

– My vision is to enable growth in the team with high employee satisfaction at work, together with an increased customer base and business opportunities, continues Amir when describing his goals and ambitions.

Mattias Bäckman, Section Manager Product Development 3

Mattias Bäckman, civil engineer in Design and Product Development with a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, will take charge of the new Product Development 3 section. With over six years of experience as a designer, product developer and project manager in the automotive industry and an additional three years of experience in business development, Mattias has contributed to the development of gas-powered, heavy-duty vehicles and broadened the company's customer base internally at Sigma.

– I have always appreciated Sigma's focus on the individual and the opportunities it has brought. Everything from a good community and the opportunity to participate in our new leadership program Propeller, to the offer to become an even bigger part of the organization by joining as section manager for product development, says Mattias and adds:

– My vision is to continue to build on Sigma's corporate culture, as well as broaden our customer base. A balance between the customer and the employee at the center. Together we can and will drive development towards a more sustainable, safer and greener future.
