Saab Sensor Technology Center in Tampere is part of Surveillance organization unit at Saab. The R&D teams are developing extremely complex and innovative electronic warfare systems, motivated by a clear target: to keep people safe. As an example of a brilliant product that we are developing in Tampere, check out Sirius Compact!
We have an excellent, constantly expanding software development team of both experienced professionals and growing juniors. We are eagerly looking for new colleagues to join us and help us make some awesome high-tech stuff! Backlog is full for years to come, and there are many possibilities to tailor roles and responsibilities in the SW team according to your expertise and career ambitions.
Currently we are looking for a seasoned SW development lead, who has strong experience in embedded software development, with main competence in Linux-based systems. We need a person who can walk in, see what needs to be done, and jump directly at it with the team. You can as easily dive into the hands-on development work yourself as lead the daily work of a team or mentor juniors to improve their competence. You'll work closely with other teams (system engineering, RF, HW, testing) to figure out what the software needs to do and how the whole system should work. You get to work with absolutely cutting-edge technologies, and are guaranteed to learn something new along the way!
So, what do you need to bring to the table?
First and foremost, you've got to be an expert in C++ and have solid understanding of embedded systems and Linux. You should be familiar with Yocto (or other build system), and being comfortable with agile software development processes is naturally expected. You are a pro-active team player, and feel comfortable being in the interface between SW development team and project and product management. We expect you to have previous experience in a lead position of some kind, and willingness to handle also people management responsibilities in the future.
There is some experience that will help you get into speed faster and is greatly appreciated by us, but don’t get stuck if you cannot tick all the boxes – you will learn what is needed! These complementary skills include knowledge about FPGAs and digital signal processing, experience in RF or radar technologies, familiarity with tools like JTAG debuggers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers, and understanding of SW testing, DevOps, CI, and automation. Experience with real-time operating systems is appreciated, but not required.
We appreciate if you accompany your application with a motivation letter, giving us an insight on what you can do, would like to do and learn, and which kind of role and responsibilities would be your perfect match.
What you will be part of?
Our development projects offer a wide range of interesting opportunities to grow and challenge yourself within different phases in product development cycle, from specification through development to laboratory and qualification testing. In addition to interesting projects and learning by doing, Saab offers various trainings and learning paths to help you build your competence and career.
Your work place will be at Saab Sensor Technology Center in Tampere downtown in newly renovated premises, and majority of the daily work is done at the office premises. Since Saab is a global company, this role requires fluent communication in English, and may require some travelling (mainly short visits to Sweden occasionally).
We offer competitive benefit package, including lunch benefit, gym facilities, transport related options, share matching plan, and many more.
