Research Engineering Positions for Autonomous Transport Solutions Scania

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

We are recruiting research engineers who will contribute to shape the transport systems of the future. The successful candidate will join the Tactical Planning team, and he/she will contribute to the design, development and testing of algorithms for autonomous drive. This includes, but it is not limited to, ensuring that correct decisions are made during operation (behaviour selection and execution monitoring), timely diagnosing potential problems (safety management), and motion planning.

Each member of the Tactical Planning Team is expected to work in close cooperation with the other colleagues and to participate in the whole software development cycle, from algorithmic design and prototype implementation to testing in simulation and on real heavy vehicles.

Your profile
A successful candidate must hold a PhD in Robotics, Computer Science or a related field, or a Master degree and 3+ years of relevant work experience. Strong analytical skills and a solid mathematical foundation are also required, as well as provable hands-on experience in designing and developing algorithms and a good understanding of computer systems. The candidate will also have several years of development experience in C++ and/or Matlab/Simulink. Previous work with robotic systems or autonomous vehicles is highly desirable. Candidates must be able to work both independently and in a collaborative environment.
