Vacant job

Do you want to take overall technical responsibility for the development of flight-critical systems that are actually used in the real world?

We are now looking for a Senior Systems Engineer for Flight Data & Navigation - where you help shape how the navigation system in the JAS 39 Gripen works, from requirements to verified functionality in the air.

Do you want to work with systems where your work actually makes a difference - every day?

At Flight Data & Navigation, you will help develop the navigation system in the JAS 39 Gripen - in a role where you see your work become reality, get tested, and eventually fly.

We believe in creating the best possible conditions for our employees to grow, contribute, and thrive. That is why we are now looking for you who want to take the next step as a Senior Systems Engineer - in an environment that combines technical depth, collaboration, and real impact.

Your role

What you will quickly notice is that we work closely together. There are no silos here - we solve problems together.

You collaborate daily with:

• systems and software colleagues
• test and verification teams
• flight test engineers and pilots

This means you not only understand your own area - but the entire system and how it is used in reality.

We also know that development looks different for different people. Therefore, you get:

• the opportunity to influence your own role and direction
• space to deepen your technical skills or take greater leadership
• support to grow, whether you want to become a specialist or a technical leader

As a systems engineer with us, you work with the big picture. You help shape how the system should work - not just implement it.

Examples of what you can work with:

• interpret and break down requirements into functioning system solutions
• define structure, interfaces, and behaviors
• ensure that functions work - in simulators, rigs, and aircraft
• contribute to technical decisions and support the team in complex issues

You will work with flight-critical functions - which places high demands, but also makes the work both meaningful and developing.

Your profile

We believe that you:

• are an experienced systems engineer who thrives in complex technical contexts
• like to understand the whole picture and see how parts fit together
• appreciate structure, quality, and clarity
• are curious and happy to share your knowledge
• enjoy collaborating and being part of a team

What you get with us

• Meaningful technology - what you build is used in reality
• Strong collaboration - you work closely with both technology and users
• Development opportunities - both breadth and depth
• Impact - on systems, working methods, and your own role
