Do you want to make a real difference?

Here you contribute to creating safety for people and communities. What you do matters.

Your Role

As a designer, you will work with hull and mechanical design within development projects and product improvement. You will work in cross-functional teams with designers, calculation engineers, and production engineers in all phases of the product lifecycle. Throughout the product lifecycle, you will work with requirements management, create design solutions in 3D models, and in some projects produce 2D drawings. The work requires good knowledge of both production technology and materials technology. Depending on your experience, you may also have the opportunity to work with method development and innovation.

Main Responsibilities:

• Development of design documentation from concept to manufacturing for new products and changes
• Review and approval of technical documentation (depending on experience)
• Opportunity to take on a technical leadership role in the long term
• Requirements management

You will build a wide network, primarily within design, strength, and production technology, but also with other functions at Saab Aeronautics, as well as external customers and suppliers. You will become a central point in our development work and operate in an international environment as our customers and suppliers are often located in other countries.

The product unit Defence and Enhanced Capabilities is responsible for the business unit's development capability. This responsibility includes developing products and production systems for efficient and robust production, procurement, and contracts. A total of about 85 employees and around twenty consultants work within the product unit. Our focus is on new assignments with concept design often including composite materials. At the same time, we also work with our civil and military aircraft customers, Airbus and Boeing, as well as the training aircraft T-7A.

Your Profile

We are looking for someone who is engaged, goal-oriented, and has the ability to take responsibility for both small and large tasks. You are experienced and have a genuine interest in complex technical solutions and understand how mechanics, structure, and materials interact to achieve the best results.

You are creative and have a natural sense for finding simple and sustainable solutions. At the same time, you enjoy working independently. You have a strong interest in development and are looking for a work environment that encourages learning and personal growth.

We see that you have:

• A university degree in mechanical engineering or materials
• Good ability to express yourself in Swedish and English, both orally and in writing
• Several years of experience in design focusing on mechanics, structural design, and/or strength.

Meritorious:

• Experience in design using Catia V5 or 3DX
• Experience with composites - both design and production
• Experience in project-based development
• Experience in systems engineering
• Previous technical leadership roles
• Production engineering experience

The position requires you to undergo and be approved according to the applicable regulations for security protection. For positions where Saab has requirements for security classification, this may involve requirements for certain citizenship.
