About the Role

As a system engineer within the Gripen Display system, you will develop and improve interfaces and user experiences for pilots in aircraft.

You will work through the entire development chain – from requirements and design to testing and certification – with a focus on developing robust and user-friendly systems that support the pilot's decision-making. Independent work is included in the form of analyses and documentation, and technical understanding is necessary even if you will not be writing code. The work environment is characterized by openness and collaboration, where idea exchange is encouraged. The team has a mixed level of competence, which provides an opportunity to both learn from senior colleagues and support more junior employees. The work is conducted on-site in Linköping.
