FEM Simulation Engineer

FEM Simulation Engineer for Propulsion Systems

TRATON is a group of strong brands with a shared mission: transforming transportation together to create the future of sustainable transport solutions. Within TRATON, we include MAN, Scania, Volkswagen Truck & Bus, and International. As part of a global team of industry experts, you get to think bigger, experience more, and reach further. Together, we have the power to transform transportation - Let´s make a difference together.

Our values – customer first, respect, team spirit, responsibility, and elimination of waste – are at the heart of everything we do.

We're now strengthening our FEM simulation team working with conventional drivetrain and electrified propulsion systems. This is your opportunity to contribute to the shift toward electrification and develop innovative simulation methods using tools like Python, machine learning and AI.

About the team

We are a diverse and supportive team of Simulation Engineers with a strong culture of collaboration. We share knowledge, hold regular focus days and learning sessions, and enjoy team-building activities. To ensure a smooth onboarding, you’ll have a dedicated mentor and a team ready to support you from day one.

Outside of work, we enjoy spending time together, with regular after-work gatherings and other events where everyone is welcome. All these moments, both at work and beyond, have contributed to our great team spirit which we are truly proud of!

Your assignment

As a FEM Simulation Engineer, you’ll perform strength and durability analyses for electrified and conventional drivetrains. You’ll collaborate closely with designers, test engineers, and data scientists to understand new physical phenomena and develop robust simulation methods.

Examples of tasks:

•    Perform FE-based simulations and fatigue analyses
•    Collaborate with design and test teams to optimize components
•    Calibrate models using data from the field, rig testing and/or vehicle measurements
•    Automate simulation workflows for increased efficiency

Who are you

We believe you're curious, self-driven, and thrive in collaborative environments. You enjoy problem-solving and are motivated by the real-world impact of your work.

We expect that you:

•    Have a Master’s degree in solid mechanics, computational mechanics, mechanical engineering or equivalent (e.g., fatigue, dynamics, material mechanics).
•    Communicate fluently in English

Meriting:

•    Programming skills in Python (professional or hobby projects)
•    Experience with Abaqus, FEMFAT, Simlab, Hyperworks
•    Background in method development verified through testing

In our unit, your personality and attitude matter just as much as your technical skills. We are proud of our strong team spirit, and we truly believe that great collaboration is the foundation for great results. That’s why we hire for attitude and train for skills.

In the team, we have both junior and senior colleagues, so all levels of experience are welcome to apply!

What we offer

We offer a dynamic, flexible workplace with hybrid work options, including Scania Sergel and Midway hubs. With a structured development plan and courses, Scania supports your career growth both locally and internationally. Benefits include training at our health center Gröndal or wellness allowance, result bonus, flexible hours, and company car leasing. Scania also hosts events for employees and their families, and Stockholm residents enjoy direct access to Södertälje via Scania Job express buses.
