Development Engineer Electric Motor materials

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.
Do you want to supply Scania with technical expertise on materials and design within the electric drive line? 

Electrification is a key part of this transformation, with a goal of 50% of our vehicle sales volumes to be electrified by 2030, and the development of the new electric drive line with energy storage, charging, inverters, electric motors and not least the interfaces between them are a crucial part of the electrification effort.


Materials Technology’s goals with respect to electrification are to provide industry-leading expertise in the materials used to develop the different components and interfaces to our internal customers spanning the complete product development cycle, from basic research to ensure the quality of vehicles in service. You will be part of the electrification group within Materials Technology R&D. The group consist currently of 11 experienced research
engineers. Our task is to supply Scania with technical expertise on materials for electrification.

Your main tasks will relate to materials and design within the electric drive line. 
The electrification team at Materials Technology is responsible for providing materials and chemistry expertise and carrying out material analysis, as part of research projects, product development, field quality issues, production methods, and safety and work environment. We have the ambition to build world-class competence in materials and degradation processes as well as contribute to the research community in Sweden.

Independent of role or position our employees have the same core values; customer first, respect for individuals, quality, integrity, determination, and team spirit.
