Emil Nordman, Alumnus ILS Academy 2023.

"All students had different backgrounds and entered the training with the same goal, to change careers and become ILS engineers. It is incredible to look back and see how much we have learned during these short but intense weeks and that we now get to work with the coolest and most advanced technology in the world."

This year's ILS program collaborates with BAE Systems at the location in Örnsköldsvik. BAE Systems develops and manufactures world-leading combat and transport vehicles used by defense forces globally. BAE Systems provides innovative solutions and combines advanced technology with the highest demands for mobility, protection, and digitization. Here, you will be part of shaping the future of defense technology in a high-tech and inspiring environment.

Job Responsibilities

ILS (Integrated Logistics Support) is used to optimize the maintenance and operation of advanced systems. Imagine you are buying a car that works well from the start and is cost-effective to maintain in the long run. Are spare parts available in ten years? Is it easy to replace a broken headlight? An ILS engineer ensures that such questions are considered – for complex systems in defense, aviation, space, maritime, and automotive industries.

As an ILS engineer, you will work with requirements management, logistics planning, and maintenance strategies within defense, industry, and infrastructure. The role includes developing specifications, conducting analyses and design work, formulating technical orders, and reviewing suppliers' work. You will also be responsible for quality control and technical support, both internally and to customers.

After graduation, you can work with everything from submarines to airplanes and contribute with analyses, technical specifications, design work, and quality control. You will have the chance to work closely with project managers and engineers.

Information about the training

Accelerated Learning is the foundation of the program – an intensive and practical training model with a fast pace, short theory sessions, and a focus on feedback and practice. During the program, you will learn the ILS process and its components, including life cycle analysis, functional safety, maintainability, maintenance safety, and support solution management.

The role as a consultant

After the training, you will be employed as a technical consultant through Academic Work and work on assignments at our clients. As a technical consultant, the positions, industries, and sizes of our clients will vary, and it is important that you are open to this in the consultant role. For this assignment, we collaborate with BAE Systems.

We are looking for you who

• Are over 18 years old
• Have very good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written, as lessons and upcoming work may occur in both languages
• Have a genuine interest in technology
• Express strong motivation for the program
• To have an aptitude for the consultant role, you do not need previous experience in technology, but you must have the right abilities, personal qualities, and show great interest and commitment to start your new career. Therefore, you will undergo tests in the process that you need to pass to move on to the next step.

Integrated logistics support is a process primarily used within the defense sector and may, in some cases, result in these assignments being security classified. If the assignment you are placed in is security classified, a security clearance will be conducted (including background checks) in connection with employment (in accordance with Chapter 3, Section 1 of the Security Protection Act). Assignments where the client has requirements for security classification may, in some cases, require Swedish citizenship.
