As a doctor in sensor fusion, you become part of the development of the next generation Gripen system, where advanced algorithms and intelligent information management contribute to increased situational awareness and operational capabilities. We are looking for both new doctors and experienced specialists who want to translate research and theory into robust, safety-critical systems. Here you can work closely with the technology, influence future solutions and contribute to the development of one of the world's most advanced combat aircraft systems.

Your Role

In the role, you will work with the development of mode perception, sensor fusion and decision support functions within Gripen E/F. You become part of a highly skilled team where advanced theory turns into practical solutions with high demands on performance, reliability and traceability.

Your tasks will include:

• Participate in requirements analysis, systemization and design of sensor fusion and tactical control subsystems.
• Develop, implement and optimize algorithms in C++ with a focus on robustness, performance and quality.
• Model, simulate and analyze tactical scenarios to evaluate and further develop sensor fusion solutions.
• Process and analyze flight test data to verify functions and improve the operational capabilities of the systems.
• Integrate information from multiple sensor sources such as radar, IR systems, electronic warfare and data links.
• Collaborate with colleagues in system development, software, aviation and weapon systems to ensure overall functionality and integration.
• Contribute to studies, concept development and future technical solutions in sensor fusion and tactical control.

The role is adapted to your experience. As a junior, you get a structured introduction, supervision and the opportunity to gradually take greater responsibility. As a senior specialist, you are expected to contribute with technical leadership, drive development issues and be an important provider of knowledge in the field.

Your profile

We are looking for you who are driven by solving complex technical problems and who want to see advanced algorithms make a difference in real systems.

You have:

• Doctoral degree in sensor fusion, control technology, signal processing, autonomous systems, machine learning or related field.
• Experience of development and analysis of algorithms in, for example, Bayesian methods, Kalman filters, multi-target tracking, data association or estimation.
• Good knowledge of MATLAB for modelling, simulation and analysis.
• Programming experience, preferably in C++, Python or equivalent.
• Ability to convert theoretical models into robust solutions in complex technical environments.
• Good communication skills in both Swedish and English.
• An analytical, structured and quality-conscious approach.

It is a merit if you also have experience in:

• Real-time or built-in systems.
• Tools and development environments such as Git, CLion or third-party software integration.
• Defence, aviation or other safety-critical activities.
• Technical leadership, research collaboration or driving roles in development projects.

As a person, you are curious, collaborative and committed to developing both technology and working methods. You thrive in knowledge-intensive environments where you together solve complex challenges and share experiences.

The position requires that you undergo and are approved in accordance with the applicable safety regulations at every time. For positions where Saab has requirements for security class placement, where applicable, may impose requirements for certain citizenship.
