Development Engineer to Customized Truck Development

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

Customized solutions for trucks is an important and growing area where Scania aims to fulfil specific customer’s demands and to enter new segments and markets.

The section RSM is responsible for the development of customized trucks in areas from alternative fuels and electrification to specialized applications such as mining, heavy haulage and fire trucks. Everything we do starts with a direct customer request.

At RSM we strive for a work environment where we help and trust each other and where all skills and experiences are utilized in the best way possible. We offer a healthy and inspiring work place with plenty of opportunities for you to develop and progress in your career.

About the team
Our group, RSMU, deliver customized solutions for the urban and long haulage segments and our neighbouring group RSMC is specialised in solutions for the construction segment. The adaptations that we do are results of direct customer requests and utilise Scania’s modular system.

The team that you will be working in consists of 5 highly motivated development engineers from both groups. The focus is on ensuring compliance so that the customized products we supply meet international product legal requirements.

Your assignment
Within the new team you will have the chance to take part on creating new work processes and methods as well as integrating the team within the organisation. You will work with legal investigations of customer requests, specifying and describing the legal limitations of our adaptations in the product description system. We have a high focus on long term solutions we are striving for an effective way of working to ensure high quality products.

We act as a link between the technical solution and the legal requirements. We have the responsibility for the whole vehicle and for a high variety of products. Therefore our work requires close collaboration within our department, sales & marketing, R&D and the regulation & standards organisation. Due to the high complexity we aim to tackle our challenges together and to spread our knowledge within our team and the organisation.

The extent of the tasks you will handle can vary from known adaptations where you can process several per day to new adaptations that require deeper and longer investigation. The spread in scope and complexity creates great possibilities for you to develop your competence. The knowledge you will accumulate about Scania’s product and processes will make you attractive for other positions within the company.
