Role Summary
Electrification battery test team searches motivated engineers looking for new challenges!
Do you want to join and drive the shift to a sustainable transport system?
The electrification field is currently undergoing significant development as demand for climate-conscious transport solutions increases. Scania is expanding its battery testing capacity in areas such as performance, safety, and abuse to address growing customer needs. The team is seeking engineers with experience in battery testing or battery development.
Job Responsibilities
This position focuses on supporting the single cell testing area.
Tasks include deploying comprehensive test matrices to examine how different parameters influence ageing, performing experiments that analyze electrochemical behavior, and assessing battery system performance.
The role also involves working within safety and abuse testing as this area grows. Duties can be varied, including outdoor site work, frequency spectrum analysis, and monitoring long-term degradation in life cycle tests.
