Calculation Engineer for Cab Development

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.Our group/department
Electrification, autonomy, and a high focus on sustainability are transforming the complete vehicle industry. We in the Strength and crash analysis group (RCCC) are embracing this change and want to develop along with it. The group is responsible for finite element strength and fatigue simulations within Cab Development and crash simulations for the entire truck. The group is thus a key player in Scania’s continuous improvements to optimize for weight, safety, reliability, and cost. At the same time, we are also part of many new interesting projects and initiatives. As an example, the team is highly involved in Scania's development of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) that generates new demands also for strength and fatigue simulations.

The team is now searching for a new team member with a focus on fatigue and strength analysis. Together with us at Scania, you have a unique opportunity in taking an important part in developing Scania’s future products as well as optimizing the existing ones.

Your Tasks
Your primary task is that you with your expertise in solid mechanics and by performing FE analyses support our designers in their work to optimize components concerning strength, weight, durability, and cost. You will also collaborate with testing departments to secure a correlation between simulations and physical tests and to define relevant testing methods. You will strive at improving our methods to increase their capability and lower lead times for our simulations. Post-processing and analysis of results as well as reporting containing conclusions and recommendations are a natural part of your daily tasks. You may also be involved in developing our load cases and setting acceptance criteria for our products.

Your Profile
We are looking for you with high ambitions, a positive attitude, and a genuine interest in the field. Good communication skills are highly appreciated since the work includes close collaboration with our designers and colleagues both in Södertälje and abroad.

You have an MSc or Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering, applied physics, or similar, with FE analysis as your specialty. Experience in fatigue analyses, polymeric materials, and the automotive industry is highly appreciated.

Knowledge within one or more of the following software/programming languages/operating systems is also of high merit: ANSA, Abaqus, Femfat, LS-Dyna, Meta post processor, nCode, Python, and Linux environment.

We offer
We offer a good working environment with helpful and experienced team members. You may work on several projects including challenging simulation tasks, all from quick studies in structural optimization to more research-related work or method development.

In addition to career and development opportunities, we can also offer other benefits such as distance working in Sweden, a company car, company-performance bonuses, a pension, flexible working hours, lunch at reduced prices, and much more. If you live in Stockholm, we offer direct bus service between Stockholm and Södertälje, the Scania JobExpress.
