Your role

As a Senior Software Configuration Manager at Saab Naval, you will play a key role in ensuring the integrity, traceability, and quality of software across our submarine and surface ship projects.

You will work in long-term, complex development programs where software is developed both in-house and by external suppliers, and integrated into advanced, distributed systems. In close collaboration with system engineers, software developers, IT architects, and project stakeholders, you will establish and maintain robust configuration management practices throughout the full product lifecycle.

This role combines strategic responsibility with hands-on execution, focusing on building scalable configuration management processes, supporting continuous integration and delivery, and ensuring compliance with internal and customer requirements.

Your main tasks will include

You will join an open and supportive team that values knowledge sharing, continuous learning, and high-quality engineering.

Required skills

• Relevant university degree or equivalent experience in software engineering, IT, or related field
• Proven experience in software configuration management or a similar role
• Strong understanding of version control systems (e.g., Git) and branching strategies

• Excellent communication skills in Swedish and English, both verbal and written

Desired skills

• Experience working in large-scale or safety-critical development environments
• Knowledge of configuration management standards and frameworks
