Join our welcoming world of tech and let your ideas soar.\nDo you want to help bridge the gap between today and the future - and play a key role in driving Saab’s digital transformation? It’s no longer only about how fast Saab’s products can fly, how deep they can dive or how far they can reach. It’s also about how fast they can adapt - always further, forever beyond. Saab is entering a new era of software transformation, where speed, intelligent use of data and systems that evolve as fast as the world changes are essential.\nIn this transformation, Common Tech and Product Tech are key enablers. We build the shared platforms and components and enable Saab’s product teams to move faster, innovate more freely and shorten the time from need to real-world capability.\nTogether, we bridge the gap between current engineering practices and the capabilities required for Saab’s digital transformation - redefining how we build software, use data and deliver systems at speed.\nYour role\nAs a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll partner with product teams across Saab to solve complex technical challenges and accelerate innovation. You will build solutions, introduce new technologies and platforms, and help teams successfully adopt modern engineering practices.\nThe role combines hands-on software engineering with technical leadership, enabling both technology and people to move forward. This is not a traditional developer role. It's a role for curious engineers who thrive in new environments, enjoy variety, and are motivated by creating real impact.\nWhat you'll do\nWork hands-on with complex technical challenges across different product areas\nPartner with product teams to understand their needs and turn them into scalable technical solutions\nBuild and improve shared platforms, tools, and components that enable reuse across Saab\nExplore and apply technologies such as AI, cloud, edge computing, and real-time systems\nEnable teams to adopt and successfully apply modern technologies, platforms, and engineering practices in real product environments\nHelp establish new ways of working that increase speed, quality, and collaboration\nTurn ambiguous challenges into clear, practical solutions\nInfluence technical direction and long-term platform strategy\nYour profile\nYou enjoy working where technology, innovation, and real-world impact meet. You're someone who likes understanding complex systems, exploring new possibilities, and turning ideas into practical solutions. You combine strong engineering skills with curiosity and a pragmatic mindset. While your background may be in software engineering, systems engineering, data engineering, platform engineering, or a related field, what matters most is your ability to solve complex problems, navigate ambiguity, and help others move forward.\nYou are comfortable taking ownership of technical challenges, collaborating with diverse stakeholders, and balancing hands-on engineering with enabling long-term success for teams and products.\nWhat you'll bring\nWe're looking for engineers who have built a solid foundation through experience and are ready to apply it across a variety of technical challenges.\nYou likely have:\nSeveral years of experience working with software or systems engineering in complex product or technology environments\nExperience designing, building, or evolving technical solutions that are used by others\nFamiliarity with modern engineering practices such as cloud technologies, CI/CD, automation, platform engineering, or distributed systems \nAn interest in how AI, data, and emerging technologies can create practical value\nThe ability to break down complex problems and turn uncertainty into clear direction\nStrong collaboration skills and an eagerness to learn from and share knowledge with others\nIt's a bonus if you have experience with:\nCloud-native platforms and infrastructure\nAI/ML applications in real-world products\nPlatform engineering and reusable building blocks\nSystems architecture and technical leadership\nReal-time, safety-critical, or highly regulated environments\nWe know that great engineers bring different experiences and perspectives. If this role excites you, but you don't meet every single qualification, we still encourage you to apply. Your potential, curiosity, and ability to learn are just as important as any individual technology or tool.\nThis 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.\nWhat you will be part of\nExplore 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.\nSaab is a leading defense and security company with an enduring purpose, to help nations keep their people and society safe.
