Do you want to join and drive the shift to a sustainable transport system?

Electrification is in an exciting and challenging phase where the demand for electrified vehicles increases rapidly. Scania’s aim is clear. We will continue to be the premium brand and will be offering the best electrified vehicles to the market.

 

In order to deliver on this commitment, we are now looking for a battery cell development engineer to strengthen our cell development team on the mission to provide premium battery cell solutions for Scania's trucks, buses and power solutions.

 

About the team

The group's scope is the development of battery cells in terms of battery cell specification and validation, analysis of battery and vehicle test data as well battery simulation from cell to system level. We work in all phases of research and development from applied research projects in collaboration with universities to product development and product follow-up.

In an agile environment based on SAFe, we work in cross-functional agile teams with colleagues from other disciplines within battery development such as battery system design, testing and control to deliver optimal cell integration and battery system performance. The cell development work also involves collaboration with other parts of the company such as purchasing, production, sales & marketing and aftermarket.
