Simulator System Developer

Your role

As a team member in one of our teams, you will be working with new system design on different levels of aircraft simulation. Beyond that, you will work with supporting current systems that are in operation. There will be a lot of problem solving, learning and investigating together to reach the goal to make the Gripen system efficient and successful. You and your teammates will share the success and together feel proud of what you have accomplished. All of the Gripen avionics software is tested in simulators before it continues to the actual aircraft. This means that you over time will acquire significant knowledge about the Gripen aircraft and its avionics system, even though the pool of knowledge never will stop feeding your curiosity.

Your profile

We work in a Unix/Linux based development environment and use C, C++, Qt, Python, Bash, Git, Google test and CMake. Naturally, there is a big advantage that you have knowledge of these or other script languages and tools. However, if you do not know for example Qt, that is not a problem.

Your personal characteristics and drive are very important to us and may outweigh pre-existing knowledge and experience.

The way forward in different types of simulators, such as development simulators and training simulators, is continuously under development, therefore we see that you need to adapt to new ideas and solutions and be a part of creating them.
