Digital Design Engineer - Fighter Radar Design

Göteborg,
Sweden
Closing date: 29 November 2026

Passionate about making ideas a reality? Join our welcoming world of tech and let your ideas soar.


Your role

We are expanding our Digital Design capability and are looking for engineers across experience levels, from early career to senior, who want to develop Digital Design solutions for complex, high-performance radar and missile electronics systems.


As a Digital Design Engineer at Fighter Radar Design, you will take on a meaningful role in our growing Digital Design team and contribute to the development of advanced radar and/or missile electronics HW where performance and reliability are critical.


As part of the team, you will work across the full productlifecycle, from early requirements phase to deployed and verified functionality. Further have the opportunity to influence both product characteristics and how we work. You will work closely with system engineers, subsystem engineers and domain specialists, bridging system-level understanding within the HW domain by implementation of advanced digital circuit boards – this can mean anything from High Frequency Function related electronics, to computer platforms and data links.


Your responsibilities include:

  • Developing robust, high-performance Digital Design solutions for advanced radar and missile electronics systems on PBA level
  • Realize solutions through component selection, high speed simulations (10Gbps+), schematics design and layout support
  • Drive board bring-up activities together with selected stakeholders and further perform test and verification activities
  • Conduct conceptual investigations and studies addressing future solutions, architecture and design principles
  • Contribute to technical decisions and continuous improvement efforts
  • Provide production support and product maintenance activities


Your profile

We believe you are a curious and driven Digital Design Engineer with a strong interest in digital electronics design (SoC/FPGA, DDR-memory) or mixed signal (ADC/DAC). You take ownership of your work and enjoy collaborating with others to solve challenging technical problems.


You have:

  • A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics or related field
  • Solid development toolset experience PCB/PBA (e.g. Cadence and/or Siemens)
  • Experience in working with digital electronics design (including CPU, FPGA and DDR-memory solutions implementation on PBA level)
  • Experience in working with SI/PI simulations using tool such as Sigrity, Hyperlynx SI/PI
  • Experience in Test and integration of PBA:s by scripting in e.g. Python and/or Matlab
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to details
  • Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment

We consider it a merit if you have experience in one or more of the following areas:

  • Have knowledge and experience of optical transceivers and links
  • Experience in other electronics domains such as RF, analog and/or power electronics
  • Have experience with PCB design layout tools
  • Experience in working with high-speed links (10Gbps+)

This position requires that you pass a security vetting based on the current regulations around/of security protection. For positions requiring security clearance additional obligations on citizenship may apply.
