Battery Test Engineer, Battery Pack

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.

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. We are now looking for a highly motivated and creative test engineer to strengthen our growing battery testing team.

About

The battery is the core component of an electrified vehicle, it must give the premium properties that our customers have the right to expect from a Scania. Our team, Battery pack and vehicle testing, is responsible for testing the energy storage on the scale from complete packs to full vehicle. We plan and execute tests and analyze results in order to ensure that the batteries fulfill the requirements we need to achieve to continue be a leader within commercial vehicles. The tests include functional and performance tests as well as safety and abuse. The majority of the testing is performed in-house in our new state-of-the-art battery lab.

Your profile

You are a driven and analytical person with experience from complex rig testing such as engine, transmission or other kinds. You understand the nature of experimental work and enjoy working with hardware with a strong understanding about the underlying physics that you are testing. The test objects, the battery packs, are highly complex with built-in intelligence and diagnostics so a good understanding of embedded systems is of merit.


• MSc within vehicle, mechanical or electrical engineering or other relevant discipline
• 3-5 years of working experience from related fields
• Experience from rig automation systems such as LabView, Puma or other is highly meriting
• Experience from embedded systems development are meriting
• Experience from advanced data analysis and data visualization is meriting
• Experience in Metrology "the science of measurement” is meriting
• Good knowledge of English is a requirement, knowledge of Swedish and German is meriting

Your tasks

As a test engineer, your main tasks will be designing and planning battery tests, writing test scripts and executing the tests, analyzing results and writing reports. With time you will become the expert at several of the test rigs and the speaking partner for discussing tests to be executed. Examples of tests are electric performance tests, function test of new BMS algorithms, safety tests such as short circuit tests or mechanical tests such as acceleration, crush or vibration tests. The role includes close cooperation within the team and with laboratory staff members as well as other test stakeholders. We work actively with improving our methods on a continuous basis and have a culture that welcomes new ideas and approaches.
