We believe that progress and opportunities are best created together. Welcome to a place where collaboration makes a difference.

Your Role

The Systems Engineering & Integration Team (SEIT) section within Gripen Fighter Aircraft is growing, and we are now looking for an engaged systems engineer with energy and passion to lead technical development in flight technology – with the big picture in focus.

You will become part of an exciting phase involving the continued development of the Gripen E/F as well as customer delivery.

Systems Engineering is about ensuring that the right things are done in the right order, based on the project's development phase. In your role, you will support and lead subsystems from a technical perspective, with responsibility for balancing requirements related to time, technology, and cost.

Your Main Responsibilities

• Create conditions for the development team to achieve their goals within time and technology in a cross-functional environment.
• Coordinate work between different disciplines, such as flight technology, structural design (airframe), system development, verification, and production.
• Drive technical investigations and handle complex problem statements.
• Support the preparation and review of system documentation.
• Document prerequisites, define technical scope, and evaluate studies and concepts.

In this role, you will gain a broad network and personally develop a good understanding of flight technology and aircraft design. You will belong to SEIT, an experienced team that leads, follows up on, and coordinates the systems engineering work in the development of, among other things, fuselage, basic aircraft systems, flight technology, and weapons. We work closely with various stakeholders and disciplines and have a central role in synchronizing the entire development chain. Through our work, we ensure that solutions become both technically robust and well integrated into the aircraft.

Your Profile

We are looking for you with a genuine interest in technology and a desire to develop, regardless of formal educational background. To succeed in the role, we see that you:

• Are proactive and motivated by solving technical challenges.
• Have experience in technical leadership or project/team leadership within flight technology.
• Have experience from the Gripen system.
• Have an interest in leadership and working with people.
• Understand the importance of communication, collaboration, and curiosity in development projects.
• Are flexible, humble, and contribute with positive energy.
• Have technical understanding and the ability to drive issues from idea to solution.
• Have good ability to express yourself verbally and in writing in Swedish and English.
