About this role
Are you an engineer with experience working with advanced IT systems? We are now looking for a new team member for the Combat Aircraft Department. In close collaboration with an experienced team, you will have the opportunity to influence both the details and the overall scope of projects that enhance the capabilities of the Armed Forces and our export countries. Your work here is significant at every step, from needs assessment and idea generation to delivery and follow-up.
About the position
You will be part of a knowledge-intensive team that collectively utilizes your skills to develop and maintain aircraft-related support systems for the JAS 39 Gripen, which the Armed Forces and our export countries use daily in their flight operations. Some of the support systems include flight training systems, technician and pilot training systems (simulators), as well as planning and evaluation systems.
In this role, you will closely collaborate with suppliers, the Armed Forces, and other customers to deliver the best possible versions of the JAS 39 Gripen. Therefore, you will be involved in the entire chain, from development to decommissioning. This means participating in forums with suppliers, the Armed Forces, and other export countries regarding the aircraft-related IT support systems.
As an engineer with us, you will work through the entire chain from needs to world-leading technology. In this role, you will be involved in all phases of the system's life cycle, from ensuring that long-term plans are developed to handling operational issues. You will work with capability requirements from the Armed Forces, configuration management, procurements, and participate in reviewing design and technical solution proposals from suppliers. You will have a broad network within FMV (Swedish Defence Materiel Administration) with suppliers and customers.
The position is based in Stockholm. Travel is included in the role, and international travel may occur.
