In short

This Master Thesis project at Saab in Linköping, Sweden, invites students to explore and propose IT architectures for a modern systems modelling tool. You will compare alternative architectures, focusing on front-end and back-end layers, and evaluate them against engineering change cases and criteria like security and maintainability.

Responsibilities

Propose and compare a manageable number of reference IT architectures for a future software tool and its supporting IT services.
Cover the front-end layer for engineer interaction and back-end services for storing, accessing, and analyzing system-model information.
Evaluate IT architectures against selected engineering change cases, identifying relevant aspects for system-model information and engineering work.
Assess how easily engineers can find and use system-model information.
Assess proposed IT components and the overall IT solution using criteria such as security, maintainability, technical maturity, and integration with other engineering tools.
Provide a comparison of alternative reference IT architectures and a well-founded recommendation for the supporting IT solution.
Potentially demonstrate concepts using a small number of selected engineering change cases if time permits.

Requirements

Approaching the end of a Master’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Technology or a related field.
About to begin a 30 hp thesis project.
Interest in IT architecture, AI, information modelling or system integration is beneficial.
Must pass a security vetting.

Desired Qualifications

Cooperate with another student who focuses on aircraft-level systems modelling and engineering workflows.
Previous aerospace or industrial experience is not required.
No need for knowledge of a particular systems-modelling language or expertise in both AI and systems modelling.

Benefits

Opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge and fresh perspectives to real-world challenges.
Collaborate with experienced engineers and specialists.
Gain invaluable practical experience.
Make a tangible contribution to growth and development.
Saab will provide an introduction, initial engineering change cases, representative system-model information and supporting material.
Access to specialists and regular supervision.
