Junior SCRUM Master CAD/PLM Team

Scania, who is a part of the TRATON Group, is currently undergoing a transformation from a traditional truck manufacturer to a provider of complete sustainable transport solutions. IT-solutions are a crucial part of this transformation as Scania’s success is depending on flexible and efficient IT-solutions supporting current and future business requirements. As a Junior Scrum Master, you will be joining a fantastic team to build the applications to enable collaboration within the TRATON Group. The job responsibilities will include, for example, being responsible for the team’s deliveries, ensuring the backlog is followed, and representing the team at department meetings. You don’t need to know everything from the start; the most important factors are your ability and willingness to lead, organize, and drive the team’s work forward. You are fearless, have the ability to switch between different tasks, and enjoy taking the lead in various contexts. A suitable background for this could be an education in IT with a focus on agile methodologies and project management. The tech stack includes, among other things, AWS, Lambdas, Angular 10 & 11, Python, Java, Jira, and GitLab, and it’s beneficial if you have experience with some of these technologies, but again, the most important is your ambition to learn!

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!

To thrive with us, we hope you have a strong technical interest and a desire to understand the challenges and opportunities of the business.

The applications support everything R&D does in Embedded Software development and can include tools for managing development projects, requirement management tools, and procurement tools. All of these are related to various regulations, making these products very important from a safety perspective for Scania. For example, the risk analysis tool is used to analyze truck signals, how it is controlled, and what physical risks might arise to prevent accidents. You will also have a lot of contact with users to understand their needs and desires, and the products are primarily developed in Java, JavaScript, Python, and Velocity. You’ll be part of a social, multicultural team with approximately 10 other colleagues and your immediate manager, some of whom are former I-talents! You will work closely with others on the team, and they often arrange activities such as after-work gatherings, picnics, badminton, and other social activities outside of work. Beyond that, this is a team where everyone supports each other, takes collective responsibility, and shares knowledge. We are looking for someone with a strong interest in developing their programming skills, and if you also have knowledge (or a desire to learn) in DevOps, AWS, Gitlab, or CI/CD, that’s a plus but not a requirement. The most important thing is your willingness and commitment to grow!

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.

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!

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.

To succeed in the team, it is essential that you have a lifecycle perspective on development and a holistic approach to problem-solving.

In this recruitment, we will place great emphasis on your personal qualities and your interest in both the position and Scania as a company. We are looking for committed and talented problem solvers who are happy to come up with new ideas about how things can be improved.
