Do you want to work with cutting-edge technology while making a real societal impact?
Software development is currently undergoing its biggest change in decades. AI-assisted development, automated testing, and intelligent development tools are changing how modern systems are built, verified, and maintained.
At Knowit Connectivity, you will have the opportunity to develop advanced system solutions for Sweden's defense and total defense. We are now looking for you who are an experienced software developer and want to combine technical expertise with future AI-driven working methods.
Why you should work in the defense sectorThe defense sector is in an expansion phase and plays a crucial role in the security of Sweden and Europe. Together with leading players in the defense industry, we at Knowit develop robust, secure, and reliable systems that meet strict requirements – technically, regulatorily, and in terms of security.
Working with us means you will:
Work with society-critical technology where cybersecurity, reliability, and real-time requirements are in focus.
Contribute to the development of critical systems for communication, command support, and sensors, among others.
Have the opportunity to influence technology choices and architecture in complex and long-term projects.
Join a secure employer with strong collaborations within the Swedish and European defense industry.
We are looking for you who have:
At least 5 years of experience as a developer in C++, preferably in embedded systems or real-time systems.
Good familiarity with working in a Linux environment.
Experience with end-to-end development – from design and implementation to testing, verification, and documentation.
Experience developing robust solutions in technically complex environments.
Swedish citizenship is a requirement, as well as passing a security check with register control.
Good communication skills in both Swedish and English.
We also believe that you:
Are curious about how AI is changing software development.
See AI as a natural tool for development, analysis, testing, and documentation.
Want to develop both your technical competence and your working methods as technology changes.
Thrive in environments where learning and development are a natural part of everyday life.
Extra plus if you have:
Previous experience from the defense sector.
Worked with Ada.
Experience with testing at multiple levels – unit testing, integration testing, and system testing.
Experience with requirements engineering and requirements analysis.
Experience with model-based development or systems engineering.
At Knowit Connectivity, you get the best of both worlds: the security of an established organization – and the freedom to influence, contribute, and grow.
We offer:
Development at the absolute forefront of technology, often in collaboration with our partners within defense, space, and security.
The opportunity to work with modern AI-driven tools and working methods that strengthen quality, efficiency, and innovation.
A team of engaged, solution-oriented colleagues with a passion for technology and societal benefit.
A culture where you are seen, heard, and encouraged to take your place.
Regular activities such as tech forums, workshops, lunch & learns, joint trips, and afterworks.
An individual development plan where continuous development in AI, modern development methods, and future engineering tools is a natural part of your professional growth.
We see AI as a fundamental part of future engineering work. Therefore, we actively work on developing both our employees and our working methods to create even greater value for our customers. You are not expected to be an AI specialist, but you are expected to be curious, learn new tools, and contribute to developing how future software development is conducted.
