Saab Australia Graduate Stories

You don’t know anything (yet), there’s still so much to learn after university – that’s just about getting a framework. There’s so much expertise in industry that isn’t in your textbooks! 

Everything happens for a reason - don’t be afraid to change directions, you’ll end up exactly where you’re supposed to be.

The opportunity to continuously learn new technical skills to assist in solving problems is what I love the most about being an engineer.

From the people Saab hires, to the support of the social club, working at Saab is a very positive work environment.

It is very satisfying to be able to come up with a creative solution to the technical challenges we have at work and to see the results we create being implemented in real deployable software.

I always knew I wanted to create and build things, so decided to pursue engineering at university.

The best thing about my job is working on important projects that make a difference to other people’s lives.

A highlight of my work is having the opportunity to work in a team to solve a problem which is bigger than what I could tackle on my own.

My role is to develop software for Saab’s naval combat management system which is the command and control center of many advanced surface vessels and submarines.

The coolest thing, aside from working with great people, has been working on ships and with the Navy.

I work in the Maritime Department which means that the day-to-day code I write might eventually end up on one of the ships in the Royal Australian Navy. How cool is that!

I build software interfaces for equipment that will be mounted on the Royal Australian Navy’s new Offshore Patrol Vessels.
