Vacant job

Are you a developer who thrives when software meets hardware? We are looking for you to work on the development of advanced test and verification systems for electronic warfare solutions within combat aircraft. Here, you will not only code – you will analyze, troubleshoot, and verify complex systems where software, electronics, and hardware interact.

About the Role:

In this role, you will develop Java-based test platforms used to verify safety-critical systems. You will work closely with both real hardware and systems engineers to understand how the systems function at a deep level and ensure they work as intended before deployment. This is a role for you if you appreciate technical complexity, enjoy understanding the entire system chain, and find it equally interesting to analyze signals and hardware behavior as it is to write robust code.

As a software developer, you will become part of an agile team responsible for developing and enhancing internal test platforms and tools. These platforms are used to verify and quality-assure advanced embedded systems that are part of modern electronic warfare solutions for combat aircraft. The role combines software development, test automation, and technical problem-solving. You will not only develop the platform itself but also work closely with integrators, systems engineers, and other development teams to understand the systems being tested and create effective test solutions. The work is characterized by long development cycles, technical complexity, and close collaboration across different disciplines.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and enhance Java-based test platforms for verifying advanced defense systems
• Integrate and verify software against real hardware and electronic subsystems
• Develop automated tests for complex embedded systems
• Troubleshoot and analyze issues arising from the interaction between software, electronics, and communication interfaces
• Work closely with systems engineers and integration engineers to understand and verify system functionality
• Participate in lab environments where you test and analyze system behavior at the component, subsystem, and system levels
• Contribute to the development of test methods, CI/CD flows, and technical workflows

We are looking for someone who:

• Holds a university degree in a relevant field, such as computer science, electrical engineering, or technical physics
• Has at least three years of experience in environments where software is integrated with electronics, embedded systems, or other technical hardware
• Has experience troubleshooting and analyzing complex technical systems where multiple components interact
• Enjoys diving deep into how systems work, not just how the code functions
• Has experience with agile development methods
• Fluently speaks and writes Swedish and English, as both languages are used in daily work

Meritorious Qualifications:

• Excellent knowledge of Java
• Experience in test development or test automation of embedded systems
• Knowledge and experience in C, C++, and Python
• Experience with Maven, Jenkins, Git, or Eclipse RCP
• Experience with CI/CD and modern development processes
• Interest in advanced technical systems, aviation technology, or defense technology
• Experience using AI-based development tools to streamline work

Who are you?

We believe you are someone driven by problem-solving rather than just writing code. You are curious, technically interested, and thrive in an environment where you need to understand complex systems and collaborate with others to find the right solution. You have a structured and solution-oriented approach to work. You also enjoy working in a team, sharing your knowledge, and are not afraid to take initiative when improvements are needed.
