RF Systems Engineer

In short

Saab seeks an RF Systems Engineer in Göteborg to work across the full product development chain for advanced RF systems, from concept studies to integration, verification and production, either as an RF Subsystem Designer or RF Subsystem Owner depending on experience. The company is a major defence and security employer with global operations. The role requires a relevant engineering degree with an RF focus, strong system design understanding, and good communication in Swedish and English; senior candidates should have experience in antenna/microwave design, lab integration and verification, and tools like Matlab, HFSS and ADS. The position requires security clearance and may entail citizenship requirements.

About the role
As an RF Systems Engineer you play an important role across the entire product development chain, from early concept studies and implementation proposals to system work, integration, verification and final production.
You work with advanced RF systems and are responsible for translating complex technical requirements into feasible solutions. Depending on your experience, you will work either as an RF Subsystem Designer with a focus on design and development, or as an RF Subsystem Owner with broader overall technical responsibility, driving technical choices and coordinating the work within the subsystem.
The work involves many points of contact and close collaboration with colleagues across different technical areas. You work independently while being an integrated part of cross-functional development teams in several parallel projects. The role suits someone who thrives in an innovative environment where technology, quality and collaboration are the focus.
Your profile
We are looking for someone with a genuine interest in RF technology and system design, driven to solve technically complex challenges.
We believe you have:
•Relevant university education, for example a degree in electrical engineering, engineering physics, or a related field with an RF focus.
•Interest in system design and an understanding of the interplay between different technical areas.
•A structured way of working and the ability to document technical solutions clearly.
•Good analytical ability and a solution-oriented approach.
•Good communication skills in Swedish and English.
For a senior level, we would also like you to have:
•Several years of experience in antenna and microwave design.
•Experience with requirements breakdown, system work and technical trade-offs.
•Practical experience with integration and verification work in a lab environment, including instrument handling and data analysis.
•Good knowledge of Matlab, HFSS and ADS.
•Experience driving technical issues and taking overall responsibility for complex RF systems.
We place great importance on your personal qualities. To succeed in the role, we believe you are analytical, responsible, and work well with others. You enjoy taking initiative, creating structure, and contributing to the team's shared success.
The position requires that you undergo and are approved according to the security regulations in force at the time. For positions where Saab has requirements on security classification, this may, where applicable, entail requirements on certain citizenship.
