About this role
Do you want to take the next step in your career and have an exciting and developing job within the Swedish Armed Forces?
The Swedish Armed Forces is acquiring and introducing the S 106 air system as a replacement for the S 100D (ASC890). The air system is based on Bombardier's Global 6000 platform, which Saab is modifying into a sensor and command platform, AEW&C (Airborne Early Warning and Control). The aim is to begin the introduction under F 7's management at SAAB/Tannefors, with parts of the personnel at Malmen, and eventually move according to the FVC placement decision.
We are looking for someone who wants to be part of this.
Within the Swedish Armed Forces, you have the opportunity to practice your profession while contributing with your colleagues to create a safer and more secure society. We care for our employees and offer varied and exciting projects, development opportunities, value-creating teams, and we place great importance on work-life balance.
PRI Section
The PRI section will be a central part of the introduction, as well as early provision of expertise within the Swedish Armed Forces (FM) organization to facilitate the system's introduction at the system handover from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV).

Parts of the section will also be involved in FMV's Verification and Validation activities (VoV).
The PRI section is expected to be established until the first quarter of 2027, after which personnel, following the handover, are expected to serve in OrgE where S 106 is placed for continued introduction and competence building.
The group's composition consists of areas deemed critical for a safe introduction to be carried out. Prerequisites, education requirements, and tasks are based on experience from previous introductions of air systems and requirements from manuals and governing documents.
