Vacant job

Do you want to contribute to Sweden's security by analyzing and understanding technical systems? Do you have experience with finite element programs and good knowledge of mechanics and numerical analysis? Then you could be the person we are looking for in the Technical Intelligence Land unit.

About the position

On behalf of the Swedish Armed Forces and the government, FMV conducts technical intelligence services within land, air, and maritime domains, to support Swedish foreign, security, and defense policy and otherwise to map external threats against the country. The work is carried out within the framework of the government's guidelines for defense intelligence activities.

As an intelligence analyst, you will play a key role in mapping and analyzing the technical systems of foreign land combat forces, with a focus on the area of weapons, effects, and protection. You will conduct qualified analyses, studies, tests, and trials to create an understanding of technical capabilities and development trends in the field. The work combines theoretical analysis with practical tasks and offers variety in both assignments and working methods. The work is carried out both independently and in project form.

The role also includes planning and conducting training and lectures within your specialist area as well as adjacent fields. The position may become physically and mentally demanding, and to give you the best possible conditions, you will undergo several internal and external training courses during the initial period.

The position is located in Stockholm, and the work is performed on-site. Travel occurs regularly in the role, both within and outside Sweden. Therefore, you need to be prepared to undergo vaccinations that may be required as part of the work.

About you

We are looking for you who have a university or civil engineering degree with a relevant specialization, such as mechanical engineering, technical physics, vehicle technology, or similar, or alternatively other education or equivalent competence that FMV assesses as equivalent.

Furthermore, we are looking for you who have experience in technical work within the area of weapons, effects, and protection. You have good theoretical knowledge in mechanics and numerical analysis as well as experience working with finite element models (FEM/FE). You master numerical calculations, material models, and analyses of fast dynamic processes, and have knowledge of handling calculation models, conducting pre- and post-analyses, and validating calculation results against tests and trials.

You also have a good ability to summarize and communicate complex models and results clearly, both orally and in writing, in both Swedish and English, as well as holding a B-driver's license.

It is meritorious if you have experience working with FEM within defense technology, especially related to weapons and protection systems. Experience with CAD tools, testing and trial activities, and work in a military environment is also valuable. We also view positively experience from international collaborations and work in different cultural contexts, preferably with an established network. Knowledge of equipment used within the defense sector is meritorious, as well as language skills in Russian.

Personal qualities are of great importance to us. We welcome applicants with different backgrounds and experiences and are looking for you who are active in social interactions, who take time for dialogue and communicate with others in a listening manner. You work systematically with complex issues, weighing together information and different types of considerations in action and decision-making, with good analytical ability. You drive your work independently in an organized and structured manner while being flexible and able to adapt to changed circumstances. In such situations, you maintain your composure and focus on the right things. Furthermore, we believe you have a drive and interest in the field, with specialist knowledge that you continuously maintain and improve.
