Controls Engineer, XPI Fuel System, Cummins Scania XPI Engineering

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

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 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 4 separate groups. We are now looking to add an engineer within controls development to the System Performance and Integration team (DIXP).

Your role
As a Controls Engineer, you will be working on function development and implementation of fuel system compensation algorithms to increase the accuracy and stability of the Fuel System Control software. You will be involved in all parts of a development project including planning, requirement gathering, algorithm development, prototype implementation, as well as testing on the rig and/or on the engine. You will be our representative at the Scania Fuel System Control department and work in close cooperation with the development engineers in that group.

You will also have a great deal of contact with our colleagues in Columbus, USA, specifically the Controls Development team. 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 relationships 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 your colleagues.

Your profile
We are looking for you, who love creative problem-solving at 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 local and global organizations, which comes naturally to 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 a specialization in Advanced Controls.
• You have at least 3 years of previous experience in algorithm and software development on embedded systems, preferably within Fluid and/or Engine controls development.
• You are comfortable using Matlab/Simulink modelling for algorithm development.
• You have some experience using C code for algorithm implementation.
• 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.
