Vacant job

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

Your Role

Do you want to design the circuit boards of the future for advanced defense systems? At Saab Dynamics in Karlskoga, we are now looking for a PCB Designer with strong system understanding and experience in product-oriented development.

You will work with world-class technology, where reliability, innovation, and precision are in focus – and where your solutions make a difference.

As an innovative circuit board designer within the Ground Combat business area, you will become a key cog in the development of advanced defense systems, sensor systems, and electronic modules with high security and performance requirements.

We would like you to become part of our team and our creative work environment, where competence and idea development are the keys to our success.

You will work in our layout team with complex physical layouts, both rigid and flex/rigid-flex, and develop solutions that withstand extreme environments – both thermally and mechanically. The work is carried out in close collaboration with mechanical, electronic, software, and production teams, in an environment where documentation and traceability are a natural part of everyday life.

In this role, we also see a concept monitoring role for our future designs, as well as a coordinating role towards our own electronics development and our development partners.

Your main areas of responsibility:

• Design of advanced PCB solutions for Ground Combat's product range.
• Integration – Understanding mechanical interfaces and mounting challenges.
• Work for DFM/DFT and ensure that the design is adapted for manufacturing and testing.
• Layout of complex rigid-flex circuits in tight and protected spaces.
• Concept monitoring – contribute to technical decisions and drive the company's PCB strategy.
• Collaborate with production, purchasing, and suppliers in qualification and industrialization work.

Your Profile

We are looking for you who have a university or civil engineering degree in electronics and at least 5 years of experience in PCB design in production-oriented environments.

You have:

• Good proficiency in Siemens EDA, Altium, or similar tools.
• Experience designing robust, manufacturing-adapted boards.
• Understanding of electronics in systems with high environmental and reliability requirements.
• Experience collaborating with mechanical, software, and production teams.
• Fluency in Swedish and English, both spoken and written.

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

Please note that we work with ongoing selection and the position may be filled before the application deadline has passed. Due to the holiday period, feedback and the next steps in the recruitment process may take longer than usual. We process incoming applications continuously, but final feedback may not occur until the end of August. Thank you for your understanding and interest in the position.
