Job description

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

Your role

We don’t build ordinary products. We design and develop advanced fighter aircraft where operational capability and information superiority are critical to national security and the protection of democratic societies.

We are now looking for an Information Security Engineer to join the JAS 39 Gripen program, as well as other Aeronautics platforms such as GlobalEye.

In this role, you will play a key part in ensuring that our systems meet stringent information security requirements throughout the entire development lifecycle. You will work close to design teams and system architects, and you will influence security decisions from early concept to final implementation.

You will help shape how we design secure, resilient and mission‑critical systems in highly complex and classified environments.

Key responsibilities

• Identify and analyze information security requirements for systems and their operational environments
• Translate security needs into clear, actionable system requirements
• Define security architecture and design principles for subsystems and platforms
• Review, assess and validate security functions across subsystems
• Act as a technical representative within your domain towards customers and regulatory authorities

Your profile

We are looking for a systems‑minded engineer with a strong interest in information security and how it enables robust and resilient defense systems.

You are analytical, structured and motivated by solving complex technical challenges in multidisciplinary teams.

Required qualifications

• Master’s degree in Engineering or equivalent
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills
• Excellent communication skills in both Swedish and English (spoken and written)
• Strong collaboration skills and ability to work across teams and disciplines
• High level of flexibility and cultural awareness
• Security clearance is required due to the nature of the work in the defense domain

Preferred qualifications

• Experience in systems engineering or system architecture
• Experience working with Swedish defense authorities (FMV, FM MUST)
• Experience from Gripen E/F or similar complex aerospace systems
• Experience in technical leadership roles

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