Vacant job

Are you driven by seeing your ideas come to life? Welcome to our exciting and technology-intensive world.

Your Role

We are now looking for a low-level software developer for our section Computer Platforms for Simulators, responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of the computer platforms for Gripen development simulators at Saab Aeronautics in Linköping.

Exciting things are happening here right now, including the development of a completely new and comprehensive Gripen simulator. In today's geopolitical climate, this role also offers a chance to contribute concretely to Saab's continued development and to the security of our region.

In this role, you will work with the most fundamental building blocks of the simulators – the technical foundation upon which all other simulator development – and ultimately, real aircraft development – rests. This gives you unique opportunities to gain insight into the entire chain, from the base platform to the flight system.

For this role, we are looking for a software developer who can contribute to the new development, further development, and maintenance of both device drivers and function libraries, as well as other low-level software.

You will work within the following areas:

• Development of device drivers for Unix systems with performance requirements.
• Development of OS-independent library functions that support simulator developers.
• Testing and evaluation of new hardware regarding compatibility and performance.
• Further development of routines for communication with various technologies and protocols.

Your Profile

We are looking for you who have a solid interest in computers and hardware components and are comfortable with low-level software development. You enjoy communicating with others and working in teams to find solutions, but also have the ability to work independently and deliver on time. You have insight into your own strengths and areas for improvement, are humble, and have a strong desire to learn new things.

To succeed with us, we believe you have:

• A university education relevant to the position.
• Several years of experience in low-level software development.
• Extensive knowledge of Linux.
• The ability to handle technical and formal language in both Swedish and English.

We consider it meritorious if you have experience in programming within:

• C
• C++

At our company, you will find a workplace where we truly support each other, and you will be surrounded by helpful and experienced colleagues. There are also excellent opportunities for development here – both through daily knowledge exchange and through access to a large number of courses and time for self-study.

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