Calibration & Optimization engineer

Role Summary

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.

The calibration engineer focuses on optimizing engine and after treatment performance for the off highway segment while working closely with software functionality. You will mainly work with Scania’s own engine control system, focusing on engine and after treatment calibration, data analysis and support for the sales and aftermarket organization. The work is carried out mostly in the test cells in-house and outside with opportunities to work on customer machines. 

Job Responsibilities

• Develop ECU calibration to optimize performance, fuel efficiency and emissions. 

• Good experience of engine management software and how calibration parameters affect system behaviour. Understanding of how software functionality supports calibration and control strategies. 

• Hands on experience with engine test bench/dyno, data acquisition & analysis, validation and troubleshooting. 

• Ability to collaborate with software, hardware and testing team to bring together the complete system view. 

• Prepare technical reports as requested to show progress and results achieved. 

Who You Are

To thrive in this role, you bring 5+ years of experience in calibration – ideally within heavy duty diesel engines along with a technical degree or equivalent practical experience. You enjoy working hands-on with engine control functions such as fuel management, torque control, and emissions, and you are comfortable both in engine test benches and real-world testing environments. You approach challenges with a curious and analytical mindset and collaborate well with the cross-functional team.
