Development Engineer – Cast Aluminium R&D

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

We are looking for you that can contribute to the development of cast aluminium components for sustainable transport solutions.

Your role

Your most important task will be to have the latest knowledge of cast aluminium from recycling to component performance in heavy duty trucks. Understanding the mechanical properties from a microstructure, component geometry, casting method and alloying point of view is important. In future, material recycling will be important to reduce CO2-emissions. New knowledge will be gained via internal and external research projects.

 

Moreover, Scania Materials Technology offers an internal laboratory where you are a key asset for carrying out material investigations including metallography, fractography, chemical analysis and reporting. External laboratories are used when required. No day is the other like!

Your profile

You have completed your master or Ph.D. and have good knowledge of some of the topics aluminium alloys, mechanical properties, casting, casting simulation or strongly motivated to acquire such a knowledge. We believe that you have a degree from materials science, physics or similar.

You are driven, curious, and motivated by finding challenges and their solutions. You are also customer-oriented and able to see the big picture. You master English in speaking and writing. Knowledge in Swedish and/or German is a merit but not a requirement. You will represent Scania Materials Technology internally but also externally such as universities, institutes, and suppliers.
