Do you want to work with the fighter aircraft of the future? The Flight Autonomy section within Business Unit Advanced Programs Engineering needs to be strengthened with several employees to take the step towards the next generation of flight systems. This is an opportunity for you if you want to take on interesting and challenging tasks where you get to collaborate with a great team.

Your Role

Our section is responsible for flight autonomy, and as a Systems Engineer here, you will help develop safety-critical solutions for autonomous flight for both manned and unmanned aircraft. Autonomous flight, autonomous take-off and landing, contingency management, and collision avoidance are examples of safety-critical system capabilities you will work with.

The main responsibilities are:

• Develop and analyze system requirements
• Define system architecture and design, including algorithm development
• System integration (simulators, test rigs, flying platforms)
• Develop flight autonomous functions and work with algorithm development
• Define verification and validation strategies at the system level
• Verification and validation activities at the system level
• Monitor requirement coverage, test results, and flight tests for our projects

Your Profile

We are looking for someone who is proactive, accustomed to influencing, and takes significant personal responsibility. You have a strong analytical interest and are structured and meticulous.

Since the role may also involve contact with companies in other countries, you must be proficient in English in both speech and writing.

In addition to personal qualities, we believe you have:

• A Master of Science degree in fields such as technical physics, aerospace engineering, or computational mathematics.
• Experience working as a systems engineer or in system development.
• An interest in flight dynamics, mathematics, and algorithm development.
• Experience in software architecture and programming is meritorious but not a requirement.

Please note that we conduct ongoing selection, and the position may be filled before the application deadline has passed.

The position requires you to undergo and pass the security clearance procedures according to current regulations. For positions where Saab requires security classification, this may, in some cases, entail citizenship requirements.
