Embedded Engineer - System and Software | Scania Special Vehicles, Södertälje

Scania is undergoing a transformation from being a leading supplier of trucks, buses, and engines to providing complete and sustainable transport solutions. Together with TRATON and our sister brands MAN, Volkswagen Truck & Bus, and International, we are working to shape the future of mobility with innovative and environmentally conscious solutions.

Our values – customer first, respect, team spirit, responsibility, and elimination of waste – are at the heart of everything we do. Together, we are at the forefront of creating a sustainable future.

Role Summary

We are looking for an Embedded Engineer who enjoys technical challenges, hands-on development, and working across different vehicle systems.

Scania Special Vehicles develops customer-specific solutions that go beyond our standard product offering. Within the System and Software group, we develop and integrate functions and systems for both defence and civilian vehicles.

Our work is close to the product. We combine a prototyping mindset with production readiness, finding pragmatic solutions, testing them in vehicles and rigs, and ensuring they are robust enough for production and customer use.

Our projects cover a broad range of vehicle systems, including:

• Defence: PHEV based on BEV3, navigation systems, tactical functions, Protected Cab, onboard diagnostics, and Central Tire Inflation Systems.

• Civilian: Scania Longline, BEV for mining, Super Heavy Haulage, City Door, and mixed suspension solutions.

Job Responsibilities

As an Embedded Engineer, you will work across the complete development chain, from customer needs and requirements to system development, software implementation, integration, and verification.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing and integrating embedded functions and vehicle systems.
• Investigating existing systems and identifying pragmatic technical solutions.
• Prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, and verifying solutions in vehicles and test rigs.
• Adapting existing systems to meet customer-specific requirements.
• Managing system change requests and coordinating necessary technical changes.
• Taking solutions from initial concepts and prototypes to production-ready implementation.
• Collaborating with different development teams and stakeholders across Scania.

Our projects vary in size and technical content, and we often work on several in parallel. You should therefore enjoy a high and variable pace, short development loops, and the opportunity to work across different technical areas.

Who You Are

We are looking for a curious and pragmatic engineer who enjoys understanding how systems work and finding solutions to technical challenges.

You take ownership of your assignments, work well with others, and are comfortable investigating problems independently. You have a hands-on engineering mindset and enjoy seeing your solutions come to life in vehicles and test rigs.

We believe you have:

• A master's degree in mechatronics, physics, computer science, or another relevant engineering field.
• Experience in embedded software and/or system development.
• Experience in vehicle functions, electronics, or system integration.
• Knowledge of CAN communication.
• A hands-on approach to development and problem solving.
• Good communication and collaboration skills.
• Good English skills, both written and spoken.

It is an advantage if you have experience with:

• Scania development processes and systems.
• Scania vehicle architecture.
• Vehicle diagnostics.
• Electrification and electric vehicle systems.

You do not need to be an expert in every vehicle system. What matters most is your technical curiosity, willingness to learn, and ability to take responsibility for finding a way forward.
