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

At Autonomous Transport Solutions (ATS) Pre-Development & Research, we pursue top-quality research and development of future cutting-edge ATS concepts. We operate in agile and self-steered teams that work in close cooperation with the Volkswagen group, leading technology suppliers, and academic institutions, with the ambition to detect and evaluate upcoming technologies. Our culture is built based upon delivering added customer value through research and practical experiments that iteratively lead to concepts for industrialization. 

We are searching for one Development Engineer to join our autonomous motion area. The autonomous motion area includes an understanding of the situation around the vehicle, motion planning, and motion control. We aim at the moment to expand the autonomous system to understand and respond to the underlying road conditions and build knowledge in the area. You will work closely with the members of this highly competent multicultural team, instrumental in developing cutting-edge autonomous technologies where your ideas will be encouraged and embraced. 

Your role

You will work alongside other engineers in the autonomous motion area and participate in the daily development work of the team. The role will include software and algorithm development within the Scania autonomous vehicle system as needed, to fulfill the goals of the group. The scope of work will also include working with an external partner to support the integration of algorithms, systems, and sensors related to road friction estimation. This role will also bring you into contact with Ph.D. students who are researching new methodologies across friction measurement, motion planning, and controls.

One upcoming task for the team will be to work towards all-weather autonomous motion. Striving towards understanding the road conditions at different times of the year and varied weather conditions, as well as the effect of road conditions on vehicle behavior. Ensuring the availability of friction measurements and establishing methods to ensure understanding of “ground-truth”.

You will work in a flexible environment, where the content of the work will vary according to the needs of the group and with plenty of opportunities to guide the scope of work according to your strengths and interests.
