Vacant job

Do you want to make a real impact and create change? Here you contribute to creating security for people and societies. What you do matters.

Aeronautics' business unit Advanced Programs is growing, and we are looking for more engaged colleagues who want to be part of our journey. Our mission is to explore and demonstrate future capabilities for combat aircraft systems. We work with complex mission environments, multi-domain collaboration, and connected systems with new ways to share resources, including various cloud solutions. Autonomous decision-making with AI support is also a central component of our development strategy.

Our core ideas:

• Exploration and curiosity: We don't build products – we create ideas and prototypes through experimentation and innovation.

• Fast track to demonstration: Continuous testing and simulations to validate new technical solutions.

• Dare to try, dare to fail: Mistakes are seen as a learning process and part of development.

• Challenge and change: We challenge not only technological boundaries but also established ways of working and methods.

Your role

We are looking for engaged and solution-oriented Tool Engineers who want to help shape the future of our software development tools. You will be responsible for developing, maintaining, and optimizing project-specific tools used in our development processes.

The main responsibilities for a Tool Engineer include:

• Develop and maintain tools for automating software development processes, including CI/CD pipelines and automated testing tools.
• Collaborate with development teams to identify and resolve tool-related issues.
• Implement and maintain linting tools to ensure code quality.
• Optimize and improve existing tools to increase efficiency.
• Document and train teams in the use of the tools.
• Work with containerization and orchestration to ensure scalability and robustness in our systems.

If this role sounds exciting, you will become part of the newly established section Cross-Domain Software Engineering, tasked with being a competence hub for software development. We are responsible for the software development process and support the business with processes, methodologies, and tools. Here you will work together with truly helpful, driven, and knowledgeable people who all want to be part of creating the future of aerial defense. We believe in a culture built on trust and collaboration, where we move forward together with the help of our curiosity. If you believe in this as well, you are guaranteed to thrive with us.

Furthermore, you have good communication skills and communicate well in both Swedish and English, both verbally and in writing.

We believe you have:

• Experience in software development and tool development.

• In-depth knowledge in at least one of the following areas: CI/CD, automated testing tools, version control systems, build tools, containerization, linting, or static code analysis.

• Good programming skills in relevant languages, e.g., Python, Java, C++, or similar.
