30 credits – Analysis of effectiveness for laboratory test criteria 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.

Thesis project at Scania is an excellent way of making contacts for your future working life. Many of our current employees started their career with a thesis project.

Background:
The demands placed on combustion engines and gearboxes to provide maximum performance and fuel economy coupled with the drive to reduce emissions, requires an increasing accuracy and specific functionality of sensors to monitor and help manage engine operation. At Scania we develop the complete control system for the powertrain and have thus ability to flexible meet those demands.

As a rule automotive components manufacturers specify their products with certain parameters such as input, output, supply voltage, temperature range, accuracy etc. We need independent measurements and analysis of given specifications in order to be able to compare multiple suppliers in predevelopment stage or to perform intermediate control of existing product for deviation/degradation.

Target:
Present work deal with optimization of laboratory methods and test procedures as well as standardization of test conditions and parameters.

Assignment:

A focus is on the functional testing:

• Partition of the accuracy structure, possibility for compensation of systematic error
• Optimal parameters for temperature cycling: amplitude, frequency (rate), complex diagram

• Formulation of specification requirements been suitable for certain type of sensors

(alternative: formulation of rules for creation of specification requirements).

• The methods will be exemplified by actual sensors, for instance oil pressure sensor and speed sensor.

Desired background:

• Close to MSc Engineering degree in Electrical Engineering or Technical Physics.
• At least basic experience with standard measuring instruments
• Statistical analysis
• LabVIEW, MATLAB programming
• Fluency in spoken and written English and Swedish.
• Able to work in a structured way, both independently and in a team.
• Solution and result driven approach.

We especially value creativity and critical thinking, and we are looking for someone who is ready for new challenges and will progress together with experienced and committed colleagues.
