* Develop the Human Machine Interface for all kind of functions in the cockpit
* Analyze what information that needs to be displayed and controlled
* Specify requirements for a function or a situation
* Find, prepare, propose and document a design solution
* Test and verify the design in rigs and simulators

What you will be a part of

The job consists of both detailed design at your desk and active information gathering, a mix of being both introvert and extrovert. The introvert part calls for the ability to stay focused on the task, to keep on, to refine and to iterate until a final design solution appears. The extrovert part applies to your social skills, to learn from others, to seek information from co-workers at other technical disciplines and to investigate if something similar has been made before. In the end it will all melt down into a conclusion and with support from your colleagues you will be able to present your design and type it down as requirements.

Your design will be realized by our colleagues at the nearby software department. The functions are then tested in rigs and simulators until demands and expectations are fulfilled. Finally you will see the Gripen take off from the runway here in Tannefors, with your design uploaded in the aircraft. We work as a team, sharing our knowledge and experiences. It is a true team effort to succeed with our task, to make a world class HMI airborne.
