Controls Engineer, XPI Fuel System, Cummins Scania XPI Engineering

For the last 20 years, Scania has partnered with Cummins Engine Company in a joint venture to develop and manufacture common rail fuel systems. Today this fuel system, known as XPI, is used extensively on both Scania and Cummins engine platforms. The main product development site for the high-pressure pump and fuel injectors used in the XPI system is located at Cummins Fuel Systems in Columbus, USA and since 2017 a product development and product support office has been established at Scania in Södertälje to allow for a closer cooperation with current and future European customers and suppliers. Being located at Scania has further developed our collaboration with the Scania R&D organization, allowing us to jointly develop and tailor future fuel systems for customers within the Traton organization. We operate with a large degree of autonomy and have responsibility for an exciting portfolio of fuel system development projects.

The Södertälje office has grown both in personnel and capability over the last few years and we are at the moment roughly 30 employees, working in 3 separate groups. We are now looking to add an engineer within controls development to the System Performance and Integration team.

Your role
As a Controls Engineer, you will be working on function development for fuel system compensation algorithms to increase accuracy and stability on the Fuel System Control software. You will handle for all parts of a development project including planning, requirement gathering, algorithm development, prototype implementation, as well as proof-of-concept testing in rig and/or on engine.

You will also have a great deal of contact with our colleagues in Columbus, USA, specifically the Controls Development team, who will support you with knowledge and help for the day-to-day work. Hence, having and developing a good working relationship with your peers within the global Cummins and Scania fuel systems organizations will be an essential part of the role. The work involves some travel to the USA for building relationship and training.

Since we are a small office in Södertälje, we ask and offer help where needed, and depending on your interest and experience, you might be given other assignments to support you colleagues.

Your profile
We are looking for you, who loves creative problem solving in the forefront of technology. What you do has not been done before, hence being able to work independently on your tasks in a self-directed manner is very important to be successful in this role. You understand the importance of creating good relations and reaching out for help or guidance, both in the local and global organizations, comes naturally for you. You approach your assignments with an analytical mindset and through execution, while paying attention to details.


• You have a master’s or a PhD in engineering with specialization in Advanced Controls as well as being familiar to Kalman filtering techniques.
• You have at least 6 years of previous experience from algorithm and software development on embedded systems, preferably within Fuel System or Engine controls development.
• You are comfortable using Matlab/Simulink and Stateflow modelling for algorithm development.
• Since we work in a truly global environment with daily contact and collaboration with colleagues in the USA and other Cummins teams located worldwide, excellent English communication skills are required.

In addition, it is a merit if you are familiar with one or more of the following set of skills: signal processing, dynamic system modelling based on first principle of physics, stability analysis of a controller and/or random signal modelling.

We offer
If you are looking for an opportunity to be part of a unique collaboration within a global organization, where we focus on teamwork, our people and developing world class products for our customers – this is your chance. We offer an open climate, where everyone’s contribution is appreciated and encouraged. Even though we are a relatively small organization, we have a lot of experience and wide-reaching responsibilities. We have substantial freedom and autonomy to decide how we get things done and are committed to delivering excellence in everything we do.
