CFD Engineer to the Transmission Development i Sodertalje

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.

The department of Transmission Development at Scania Research & Development in Södertälje develops Scania’s future driveline components such as gearboxes, e-transmissions and rotating parts of axles. The group of Analysis & Calculation is responsible for most of the numerical simulations within the department. The group is inter-disciplinary and divided into four distinct areas: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), structural and fatigue studies, dynamical systems as well as Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) analyses. The group is now looking for a CFD engineer.

Your tasks

To succeed with your tasks, it is essential to achieve a deep understanding of the dynamical phenomena by using commercial CFD software packages as the main tools. Results from your work will be directly used in the development of new future products as well as improvement of existing ones.

Examples of assignments are analysis and improvement of the internal oil flow for cooling and lubricating critical components in gearboxes and electrical engines; evaluation of the braking performance of hydraulic retarders; identification and mapping of efficiency by analysis of drag losses. The complexity of the assignments requires that a large part of your work will consist in continuous method development in order to improve the capability of the numerical models.

In order to fulfil the needs and to be on the edge of the technical advances within the concern;  benchmarking of new advanced commercial software, further education in specific areas and participation in international conferences are also required.

You will be part of a wide organization and will work in tight collaboration with other experienced calculation engineers as well as design and testing groups. International contacts and collaborations will also be part of the work.

Your profile

We are looking for a person with genuine interest in computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer. You have a good sense of initiative but are at the same time a team player and analytical. We expect that you have a MSc degree in a relevant engineering field or physics and a few years’ experience in CFD calculations in commercial codes such as Star-CCM+. A PhD in a related subject is highly desirable. To facilitate internal and external cooperation, we give large value to both social and technical skills. We expect you to be proficient in English and have at least a good understanding of Swedish.
