Simulation Engineer - Battery System Performance, Electrified Vehicles

Role Summary

Are you passionate about sustainable transportation and cutting-edge technology? Look no further! At TRATON, we’re driving the future of electrified vehicles — and we want you to be part of our journey.

As a System Performance Engineer within battery development for TRATON electric vehicles, you will take on the exciting challenge of investigating and calculating various versions of high-voltage batteries and how they affect overall system performance in propulsion and charging.

You will be part of the Value Creation Team (VCT) Energy Storage and a member of our Battery Performance Group. The specific unit focuses on lifetime, regulations, and safety within the battery system section. In this role, you will play an important part in shaping the direction of TRATON’s battery development, optimizing our battery systems in the smartest possible way to ensure the very best battery packs on the market.

This role is a part of TRATON Group R&D, located in Södertälje, Sweden.

Job Responsibilities

You will work closely with colleagues both within the battery development department and in other parts of the electric vehicle organization. The key to successful outcomes lies within the Performance Group, of which you will be a part. Here, people in various roles — all focused on performance — meet and work together toward common goals.

As a System Engineer, your responsibility is to translate vehicle needs, understand Battery Management System (BMS) implementation, and align battery cell/pack capabilities. You will ensure seamless and efficient collaboration on a system level, spanning from hardware and software to final vehicle integration.

Main tasks include:
•    Support the generation of technical KPIs for battery cell projects.
•    Conduct technical reviews and evaluations for parallel battery projects.
•    Act as a link to the vehicle team, representing the cell team regarding power performance.
•    Provide technical support for BMS parameterization and validation method development.
•    Deliver technical support and insights to external interfaces, including Sales & Marketing, Purchasing, Use Cases, and other VCTs.

Who You Are

We’re looking for a team member who is driven, results-oriented, and self-motivated. Sharing your results is just as important — within the cell team, the performance group, and across other collaboration arenas.

You’ll work closely with a colleague in the same area, which makes cooperation and curiosity essential. Since the arena is broad and spans across TRATON, you also need to be confident in reaching out, connecting with the right people, and sharing your results effectively.

We also believe you need:
•    Experience in calculation and/or simulation.
•    Knowledge of Li-ion batteries.
•    Experience working with Matlab/Simulink/GT-Suite.
•    Confidence in communicating in English, both written and spoken.
•    A strong team spirit.
•    The ability to communicate effectively with colleagues at all levels.
•    A genuine interest in technology and a willingness to be part of the daily technical work.
•    Some experience with agile working methods.
•    Experience in analysis, preferably related to vehicles.

Competence in electrification or embedded systems technology is considered a merit.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds – your unique experience and perspectives is valuable to us.
