System Engineer for the PRI Section within the Swedish Armed Forces

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 flight system as a replacement for the S 100D (ASC890). The flight 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 staff at Malmen, and ultimately 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 about our employees and offer varied and exciting projects, development opportunities, value-creating teams, and not least, we value work-life balance.

PRI Section

The PRI section will be a central part of the introduction and will early ensure competence within the Swedish Armed Forces (FM) organization to be able to introduce the system at the system handover from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV).

Parts of the section will also be included in FMV's Verification and Validation activities (VoV).
