Vacant job

Do you want to be part of developing high-tech solutions where safety and reliability are at the center? Now is the opportunity to step into the role of Systems Safety Engineer within the defense industry – an expanding company working with advanced and technically complex systems.

In this role, you contribute to the further development of the technology behind modern missile systems and are involved throughout the entire journey, from early requirements to finished and verified delivery. You will become part of a competent and technology-driven team with well-established working methods, strong knowledge exchange, and good opportunities for development through mentoring. The position can be based in Karlstad or Karlskoga.

About the Role

As a Systems Safety Engineer, you are responsible for work related to system and product safety in the development of advanced defense systems, with a focus on missile technology. The work spans the entire development cycle and is based on requirements from the customer, legislation, and other stakeholders.

You work with the team to develop, structure, and manage safety requirements, conduct risk identification and risk analyses, and ensure that measures are documented, implemented, and followed up. The role involves participation in design work, technical analyses, tests, and verifications to ensure that the systems meet all requirements from a systems safety perspective.

You collaborate closely with those responsible for subsystems and components and are part of cross-functional project teams with, for example, systems engineers, test managers, and specialists in software, mechanics, electronics, and strength.

The work involves managing several parallel assignments with varying complexity, where a structured approach according to established processes is central. At the start, you will receive a thoughtful introduction to the role and be assigned an experienced mentor to support you in both the technical work and your long-term development.

You work methodically, take responsibility for your work, and have a desire to understand both details and the big picture. You appreciate working long-term and following a product through the entire development process – from requirements to a verified solution. As a person, you are flexible, solution-focused, and have an easy time collaborating in a group. You are comfortable asking for support and taking in feedback from more experienced colleagues. The ability to identify risks, see connections, and make well-considered technical assessments is important for success in the role.
