About the Role
Your Role
Take the opportunity to become part of our dedicated team within the Digital Map Generating System (DMGS) / Geodata sub-project for the JAS Gripen program as a software developer.
We are a central resource with expertise in GIS, geospatial data, and aeronautical information. Geospatial data is a critical component of most of Saab’s products and services in aviation, defense, and security. DMGS is an in-house developed tool based on ESRI ArcMap for processing, quality-assuring, and producing geospatial data for Gripen, as well as its support and training systems.
As a software developer, your responsibilities include designing creative solutions aligned with agreed requirements—especially in integration with adjacent systems. You will also be involved in planning, testing, and communicating developed features to stakeholders.
During functional development, you will gain insight into how our data and systems are specified, developed, tested, and deployed—including geographic data for aircraft, 3D environments for Gripen simulators, and other advanced systems.
The team currently comprises project managers, systems engineers, and software developers, and is characterized by a positive atmosphere and a strong culture of mutual support and learning.
There is significant flexibility to tailor your daily tasks with varied assignments, as well as opportunities to attend international conferences.
Your immediate manager is a trained coach, and if you are passionate about personal development, there are ample opportunities for both internal and external training.
Your Profile
Proficiency in C#.NET; familiarity with WPF, Async/Await, and TPL is a plus.
Experience applying AI in programming contexts.
Ability to understand system-level architecture and how different components interact—critical for designing scalable and maintainable systems.
Skill in identifying, analyzing, and solving complex technical problems.
Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical team members—including documentation and presentations.
Commitment to ensuring software meets the highest quality standards, including testing, security, and performance optimization.
Strong teamwork skills and an effective, collaborative communication style.
Tools: MS Visual Studio, ESRI ArcMap, ESRI ArcGIS Pro.
This position requires clearance and approval in accordance with applicable security regulations. Positions requiring security clearance may involve citizenship requirements.
