Development engineer, combustion

Position description


Powertrain Engineering is looking for a Combustion System Development Engineer – focus on heat management
Do you want to be part of an innovative team and work together towards a clean future?
The Heavy Duty combustion engine future will be very interesting but also a demanding challenge. There is a need to take big steps in reducing CO2 (reduced fuel consumption) and comply with the even more restricted emission legislation. Further work with alternative fuels, like non fossil fuels, gas, hydrogen and hybridization solutions will also be a part of this work. If you thrive in leading change and like to work in cross-functional teams, then we are hoping you want to join our team.


Tasks
The main task in our team is to develop, select, integrate and optimize the components/systems that affects the combustion system (e.g. piston, fuel injection system, turbo, etc.) for different engine concepts. The concepts shall than be evaluated and compared to choose the best one for our next products (engines) in order to meet our customers’ expectations on quality, performance, fuel consumption and to comply with the emission legislation.
We are working in the development process from advanced engineering to the concept definition.
The knowledge build up in the internal combustion area and development of improved work methods is also a part of the work.


You will be an important contributor in this development and specific in the heat management area (how to get the right temp, mass flow and exhaust composition to the aftertreatment system to the lowest fuel cost) by using both testing and simulation to achieve the targets. We work together in close cooperation with a network consisting of our team, the Powertrain Strategy Development combustion team, colleagues within the powertrain development (component design, simulation, software functions and the exhaust after treatment system) and external contacts such as universities and consultancy companies.
We strive to have an open and honest environment within the team/-s, where it is easy to ask each other for support when needed. The tasks can be either part of a larger long term project or short tasks to improve products currently in production.


Qualifications
Master of Science or similar technical education is preferred
Knowledge in engine/combustion and aftertreatment system
Fluent in English, written and spoken
License for truck (C/CE) is a merit but not a demand



Personal Profile
We are looking for a person with a positive attitude and ability to interact and cooperate effectively. In addition, someone who has a drive to analyze/draw conclusions, deliver results and who is interested in improving work methods is greatly appreciated.
