Saab Australia Graduate Stories

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.

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

The best way to figure out what a job is actually like is by speaking to people in the field and trying it out yourself.

Don’t focus on the grades, focus on understanding the content and its practical relevance (and the grades will come with it).

Work hard, both inside and outside of university. This will set you up well when it comes time for applying for jobs and being able to easily answer interview questions.
