Saab Giraffe 1X is looking for an experienced Systems Engineer with a customer application delivery focus

Göteborg,
Sweden
Closing date: 29 September 2025

Want to influence the bigger picture? At Saab, you can realise amazing innovations that keep people and societies safe. Together, we can truly make an impact – and your part matters.


Your role

You will be a crucial part of the Saab G1X system engineering team which is highly associated with a cross functional collaboration between customers, product managers, project managers, development and verification engineers. In this role, Systems Engineering is the foundation of everything you do. You will take ownership of system-level work from requirements through to delivery – with a strong focus on interpreting customer needs, ensuring alignment with our base product, and coordinating across disciplines such as integration, structure, and architecture rather than detailed component design.

A key part of the role is to break down and interpret customer project requirements and apply them to our existing technical base product. This means translating customer-specific needs into structured system requirements, ensuring they align with our platform architecture and technical capabilities – while maintaining traceability and supporting reuse across projects.

Your profile

  • Solid experience in Systems Engineering, preferably using the V-model, and a strong educational background in engineering.
  • Broad system understanding – you think in terms of structure, interfaces, and complete solutions rather than subsystems or individual components.
  • Proven ability to work requirements-driven: trace, break down, author, and manage requirements – translating customer project needs into system-level requirements aligned with our platform and product standards.
  • Experience in process-oriented development and coordination of roles such as Integration and Verification lead and other sub system leads.
  • A holistic mindset, with the ability to balance customer, user, and environmental perspectives.
  • Excellent communication skills, including technical writing in both Swedish and English.
  • Comfort working in an international technical environment – you navigate cross-cultural collaboration with ease.
  • Strong business understanding and leadership skills – you take ownership, drive initiatives, and lead task forces when needed.
  • A genuine interest in learning new things – and sharing your knowledge to support others.
  • Willingness to travel when required.
     

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. The role is based in Mölnlycke.
 

What you will be part of

Explore a wealth of possibilities. Take on challenges, create smart inventions, and grow beyond. This is a place for curious minds, brave pioneers, and everyone in between. Together, we achieve the extraordinary, each bringing our unique perspectives. Your part matters.
