Role Summary

Contribute to Engine Development in a Collaborative Environment

TRATON Group is continuing its transition from a traditional supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a provider of complete, sustainable transport solutions. As part of these efforts, we are looking to hire a Simulation Engineer with expertise in Tribology and Powertrain Dynamics - collectively referred to as Tribodynamics.

This position will support our work in developing efficient, durable and low-emission combustion engines and electrified powertrains by addressing the combined challenges of friction, lubrication, wear, and dynamic system behavior.

Job Responsibilities

As a Simulation Engineer in Tribodynamics, you will work on development projects across combustion engines, conventional drivelines and electrified powertrain systems. You will apply finite-element methods (FEM/FEA) and flexible multi-body dynamics (MBD) in combination with tribological analysis, particularly lubricated contact mechanics, to address complex engineering challenges where contact, friction, lubrication and wear are influenced by dynamic loads and structural flexibility.

Key responsibilities

• Perform FEM and MBD simulations with a focus on tribological-dynamic interactions in engine and drivetrain components.
• Analyze and optimize component performance and durability considering friction, lubrication, temperature and dynamic loading.
• Provide simulation-based support to designers to improve robustness and reliability.
• Collaborate with test and measurement engineers to validate simulation models against physical prototypes and rig measurements.
• Develop integrated calculation methods that combine tribology and dynamics into unified tribodynamic models.
• Present and communicate simulation results through reports, technical presentations, and cross-functional discussions.

Who You Are

Candidates should have strong technical skills and an ability to work collaboratively.

Requirements include

• Master’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Solid Mechanics, Applied Physics or a similar technical field.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a structured approach to technical challenges.
• An interest in tribology and simulation.
• Good communication skills in English, written and spoken, with the ability to convey simulation results clearly.
• Ability to contribute effectively in multidisciplinary teams.

It’s also meriting if you have experience

• In tribological and dynamics analysis.
• Within engine development.
• Working with the software AVL Excite.
• With FEM/FEA and/or multi-body dynamics simulation.

This Is Us

TGRMSPT - Powertrain Dynamics & Tribology - at TRATON Group is a team of 10 engineers and analysts working in the field of Dynamics, Tribology and Data Analysis of TRATON Group’s engines, gearboxes and e-machines. Our goal is to optimize powertrain performance while meeting requirements for emissions, weight, cost and durability.

Collaboration is key to our work. Simulation Engineers interact closely with designers, test engineers, and measurement specialists to ensure that simulation models reflect real operating conditions. We welcome applicants who want to contribute their skills in Tribodynamics to help us develop the next generation of powertrains.

TRATON Offers

We offer a dynamic, flexible workplace with hybrid work options, including Scania Sergel and Midway hubs. With a structured development plan and courses, TRATON Group R&D supports your career growth both locally and internationally. Benefits include wellness allowance, bonus, flexible hours, and company car leasing. We also host events for employees and their families, and Stockholm residents enjoy direct access to Södertälje via Scania Job express buses for an easy commute to Södertälje.
