Arbetsbeskrivning

Passionate about making ideas a reality? Join our welcoming world of tech and let your ideas soar.

Do you want to build hardware and software that has never been built before? Some engineering problems cannot be solved within narrow roles or strict playbooks. They require curiosity, ownership, and people who enjoy figuring things out. The Rainforest is now looking for curious builders, developers and problem solvers who want to explore difficult technical challenges and turn ideas into working systems.

The Rainforest is Saab's accelerator for disruptive innovation. Backed by Saab's decades of expertise, we function as an internal start-up with the purpose to defy the conventional. We are a small, cross-disciplinary team currently on an expedition to develop a service-based autonomous airborne system designed to save lives where nothing else can.

To make this happen, we work across the full development journey, exploring ideas, building prototypes, testing concepts, and iterating systems.

You may come from software development, hardware design, robotics, aviation, or something totally different. What matters most is curiosity, hands-on problem solving, and the drive to build and learn.

Areas where you might contribute:

• Embedded systems
• Autonomous systems
• Avionics
• DevOps / Back-end cloud infrastructure
• Hardware design
• Manufacturing and industrialization
• Flight testing
• Overall aircraft design

In our team you will typically:

• Take ownership of complex challenges and drive them forward.
• Move ideas from customer need to concept, prototype and test through rapid iteration.
• Collaborate closely across hardware, software and other disciplines.
• Focus on solutions that work in the real world.
• Work in a kind-hearted, inclusive and diverse high-performing environment.

If you enjoy building things, testing ideas, and improving systems through iteration, you will likely feel at home here. Many in the Rainforest team work across multiple disciplines, contributing wherever their curiosity, experience, and initiative can create the most impact.
