FMV – The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration

At FMV, you contribute to making Sweden and the world safer. We are tasked with providing the Swedish Armed Forces with the latest technology and knowledge so that they can defend our country and our allies. Together with competent and committed colleagues, you will be involved in developing and procuring what sometimes does not yet exist. You drive development all the way from need to delivery. From idea to reality.

You will work in our area of operations for testing and evaluation (T&E), which is responsible for verifying and validating the material that FMV delivers to the Armed Forces. This means checking that FMV has received what was ordered and that the system can be used as intended.

T&E Air has this responsibility within the air arena. The operation is based on the verification and validation of aviation-related products, primarily on military platforms such as Gripen and helicopters. The goal of the operation is to clearly and structurally support the rest of FMV with subject-specific expertise within VoV. T&E Air should also have the competence to lead VoV operations.
