Senior Development Engineer to Cab Defence.

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

Are you a Senior Development Engineer who has a lot of experience from previous work with truck development?

Our group, RSDC are working with defense cab development and consists of both employees and consultants where we work together in a cross-functional, dynamic, and exciting environment close to the market and the customer and in broad cross functional cooperation with other design groups, production, purchase, suppliers and after market. We put our efforts into product development in ongoing projects and we are also working in the concept development phase of new tenders. We aim to work agile and use learnings to continuously improve our processes and methods. 

Right now we are in an intensive period working with the industrialization of two of the largest Defence projects at Scania. After this, we will continue to develop and extend the portfolio of products to new customers that we see are coming with even bigger volumes and extended challenging demands. We need a Senior Development Engineer who has a lot of experience from previous work with product development systems and who understands what is possible to achieve with the existing processes and systems such as PD System, OAS, KS, Mona, CATIA, etc. 

Your duties

We are divided into three areas in RSDC, Protection, Exterior, and Interior, where you will support all three and act in common questions on the RSD level. We support each other both within the team but also for our entire group. You will have the possibility to affect the product yourself, but also support group members and lead consultants. It is part of the work to lead and secure deliveries from the development assignments. As a development engineer with us, you will be in contact with the entire cab and interface to the rest of the complete vehicle with great variety, both regarding the product and the systems.

We work in fast and scalable processes (That need to come from previous experience) and you will quickly see the results of your influence. This task requires you to be open-minded, oriented for the cross-functional work, and determined to find the best solution out of Scania and customer perspective. It is of importance to be a team player.
