Role descriptions

OBSERVE! As we are recruiting for several roles at Scania, we want you to select the 2-3 roles that you are most interested in and emphasize this in your CV and cover letter. OBS 2: The advert can be updated with more roles the coming months.

Product Development IT – Embedded Toolchain

As part of Product Development IT, you’ll work at the intersection of business and IT, handling products used by Scania’s internal R&D, some of which are based on third-party solutions. The applications support everything that R&D does within Embedded Software development and may include tools for managing development projects, requirements management, and procurement, all of which are subject to various regulations. This makes the products crucial from a safety perspective for Scania. For example, the risk analysis tool is used to analyze the truck's signals, how it is controlled, and the physical risks that may arise to prevent accidents. You will also engage closely with users to understand their needs and requirements, with products developed primarily in Java, JavaScript, Python, and Velocity. You will be part of a social, multicultural team of about 10 colleagues and your direct manager, some of whom are former I-talents! You will collaborate closely with the rest of the team, and it’s common for the group to organize activities such as after-work events, picnics, badminton, and other social activities outside of work. Moreover, this is a team where everyone supports each other, takes joint responsibility, and shares knowledge.

We are looking for someone passionate about developing programming skills. If you have (or are willing to learn) knowledge in DevOps, AWS, Gitlab, or CI/CD, that’s a plus, but it’s not a requirement. The most important thing is your willingness and enthusiasm to grow!

Automation/SCADA Developer

As an Automation Engineer/SCADA Developer, you will be part of a group consisting of around 28 employees, both consultants and employees as well as some former I-talents! The group fulfills an important purpose in supporting the production systems in above all Södertälje, but also in other parts of the world where Scania has their production. The systems ensure, for example, that the operators know how to carry out the assembly and meet time schedules as planned. You will work in a broad role with both PLC programming, testing, configuration and participate in planning meetings for the projects. You will collaborate with for example both production staff, other automation engineers and architects. A suitable background for this role is, for example, an education in robotics and/or automation and preferably with knowledge in Git and SQL. You will be part of a team with a good collaboration where you share knowledge with each other and we are looking for you who take a lot of responsibility, wants to develop yourself and is curious to learn more about this field!

Network Engineer (team 1)

As an infrastructure engineer, you will be part of the department that supports Scania’s industrial network across various production units, providing both services and expertise throughout the entire organization. The department includes around 40 employees, with our IUBC group currently consisting of 15 people. Your responsibilities will cover networking, LAN, WLAN, and network security. You will work closely with the business, offering technical expertise, configuring systems, troubleshooting issues, and developing technical solutions. Additionally, you will help maintain corporate standards and policies within this area. In this role, you’ll work with a broad range of technologies within complex IT environments, which is part of what makes the position so exciting. Scania is a large company with numerous users, and we believe this role is ideal for someone eager to gain a comprehensive understanding of how everything fits together from a technical standpoint. We expect you to have an educational background in IT/technology with a focus on networking and security, but the most important qualities are a willingness to learn, an open mind, and a strong sense of responsibility for your own growth!

Network Engineer Cisco (team 2)

As a network engineer within Cisco, you will be part of the department that supports Scania's office and industrial networks for their various production units, primarily in Södertälje but also in China, where they are currently building a new factory. The entire department consists of around 40 employees divided into three teams, which you will belong to one of them consisting of 14 people, including your closest manager. Examples of projects your team is currently involved in include building, maintaining, and monitoring Scania’s entire IT network, working with architecture, and ensuring that both Scania and TRATON employees have a network that functions well both technically and in terms of security. Here, you will be part of an engaged team with good collaboration, a wide age range, and a supportive culture where it’s okay to make mistakes—that’s how you learn! You’ll work closely with your team and the other two network groups, as well as with R&D, cloud teams, the security team, and those working with autonomous vehicles, providing them with support on various network-related tasks. A suitable background for this position is an education focused on networks and knowledge in Cisco. You don't need to know everything from the start; the most important thing is your attitude toward self-development and your desire to learn.
