Data Scientist, Connected Asset Data

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

About Scania 

For Scania, the most valuable asset is our people. Scania has a strong and supportive working culture where each individual is seen, respected, and trusted. Scania’s organizational environment enables you to develop and grow professionally and personally in the best possible way. 

Scania has over 600.000 (and counting) vehicles and other connected products that continuously create new data. A key factor for Scania to succeed in the Digital Shift and Scania’s sustainability goals is to enable flexible and usable access to data in large volumes.   

By 2025 Scania aims to reduce our CO2 emissions from our own operations by 50% and from our products by 20% compared to the 2015 levels. Read more at https://www.scania.com/sbt 

96% of Scania’s carbon emissions come from our products, enabling and leveraging the data that we collect to improve our products and help our customers utilize them in a more efficient way, is one important component for reaching our science-based targets. 

We are looking for curious data scientists to help us drive the development of new data initiatives in our projects within electrification, autonomy, and connectivity. Do you want to join us?   

What you will do 

Today our R&D teams are utilizing more and more log- and sensor data in their daily work. Our team’s business problem is to integrate this data into Scania’s development workflow, in order to enable data-driven development. This integration is end-to-end, i.e., from deciding and testing new functionalities, to evaluating performance and investigating deviations in our rolling fleet. 

Today this team consists of eight data engineers, and you will be the data scientist that helps them understand the internal customer-specific use cases. Our team is a front-runner on enabling data-driven development at Scania and you can be a key player in forming that journey by: 


• Helping internal customers (mechanical engineers, software developers, data scientists, etc.) leveraging their data by supporting them in finding tools, methods, and models suitable for their specific use case. 
• Help the data engineering team to understand the necessary infrastructure for these use cases. This can for example be a specific micro service for feature engineering. 
• Together with the product owner find more general use cases and continue defining the product. 
• Giving support for cross-referenced data contextualization and automated analytics.
• Enabling shorter feedback loops for product- and embedded SW development. 

Who you are? 

Technical curiosity is important, and you enjoy sharing newfound knowledge with team members and other peers. You have a customer-first mindset and you can adjust your communication to the knowledge level of your customer.  

With a creative approach to problem-solving, you are able to find solutions to existing use cases and can identify new use cases without relying on a pre-defined problem. 

You see the benefits of working with a data-driven approach and encourage other people to realize the possibilities of this way of working.  

Relevant background 


• MSc or higher in Math, Statistics, Computer Science, or similar. 
• Experience in an analytic role. 
• Advanced knowledge of at least one relevant programming language (e.g. Python, Matlab, Julia). 
• Experience working in a consultancy role translating customer needs to analytical problems, either inhouse or as a consultant. 
• Fluent in English 

Merit: 


• Experience working in the automotive industry 
• Experience with working with analyzing millisecond time-resolved data or other large-scale tabular data sources 
• Experience working with state-of-the-art methods and models for tabular data e.g., Xgboost, RandomForest, frequentist, and Bayesian statistical methods 
• Experience as a software developer
