Job Description
Develop software for some of Sweden's most critical technical systems
Working with embedded software in the defense industry is something truly special. Here you develop systems used in advanced platforms such as aircraft, ships, vehicles, and sensor-adjacent systems – technology that must function in all conditions, even when the world is at its most demanding. At AFRY, you have the opportunity to tackle deep technical challenges while contributing to Sweden's security and societal resilience in a meaningful way.
As an Embedded Software Engineer, you participate in the entire development chain, from requirements and architecture through implementation, integration, testing, and verification. You work in teams alongside electronics, systems, and test engineers, and much of the work is conducted close to the hardware. Here you build systems with long lifecycles, high stability requirements, and scrutinized security standards — work where quality and diligence are just as important as creativity and problem-solving.
You may work both at the customer site in Stockholm or in-house at our modern facilities in Solna, depending on the project and your preferences.
