Want to influence the bigger picture? At Saab, you can realise amazing innovations that keep people and societies safe. Together, we can truly make an impact - and your part matters.

Your role

As a systems engineer your days are varied and full of problem-solving. You will work with one or several of the sensor systems of the surface ship. You will be the point of contact regarding this system and will work closely with designers and cross-functional specialists as well as with our purchasing and production departments to ensure that your system will deliver the intended information to the crew and to other systems that request the information. Furthermore, you will have extensive contacts with our customers and our suppliers.

You will take the system through the cycle of definition of the required capabilities of the system, transformation of these into clear and verifiable requirements, selection of a system supplier, support of the physical and infological integration of the system and its components into the submarine and verification that the system requirements are fulfilled.

The main tasks are

• Ensuring that the system requirements are taken into account during the submarine design process
• Ensuring that system related issues are addressed and solved as needed
