Husqvarna has built strong global market leadership and one of the industry's most recognized brands.\nAt the Compaction & Concrete Vibration R&D team at Husqvarna Construction, we design, test, and build the next generation of compaction and concrete vibration equipment - working closely between simulation, physical testing, and product development to bring new machine concepts to life.\nBackground:\nVibratory plate compactors are a core part of Husqvarna Construction's product range, spanning both forward and reversible plate models used extensively across construction settings. Soil compaction is one of the most fundamental quality parameters in ground preparation and civil construction. While Husqvarna already offers a compaction indicator within its portfolio, the broader landscape of compaction indication is still evolving, and there remains significant scope to explore data-driven approaches that leverage the full range of machine parameters available on modern plate compactors.\nIt is currently unclear which machine-derived signal, or combination of signals, most reliably reflects true compaction state, and there is no established methodology for deriving a data-driven compaction indicator from them.\nThesis Work Objective:\nThe purpose of this thesis is therefore to develop a methodology for designing and evaluating a machine-data-driven compaction indicator for Husqvarna Construction's forward and reversible plate compactors. This involves instrumenting the machines with relevant sensing modalities - such as drive power consumption, acceleration, or acoustic signature - and collecting data under varying soil conditions and pass counts, with the aim of identifying which signals, or combinations thereof, can reliably indicate compaction state.\nActivities:\nLiterature study of existing compaction indicators and associated sensors\nAnalysis and selection of candidate sensors/machine parameters for instrumentation\nData collection across varying soil conditions, pass counts, and machine types\nData evaluation and pattern analysis\nDevelopment of a methodology for a data-driven compaction indicator, based on the finding\n Relevant knowledge/background:\nStructural dynamics & vibrations\nMechatronics & instrumentation \nData-driven methods (data analysis, ML, or optimization)\nPreferred Masters Program:\nMechatronics/ Machine Design/ Systems, Control and Mechatronics or anything similar\n Thesis Level: Master (30 ECTS points)\nStarting date: January 2027\nNumber of students: 2 students\nLast application date: 15 Nov 2026\nLocation: Husqvarna Construction, Jonsered, Sweden\nContact: Adithya Srikantha Dath, Mechanical Engineer, ","description_format":"text","description_chars":3001,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Sweden","iso":"SE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Industrial Machinery","Garden & Outdoor Living","Tools & DIY Supplies"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T13:33:03Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":37,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.496,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":24,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:late","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/husqvarna-group-master-thesis-within-future-compaction-indication-systems","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/husqvarna-group-master-thesis-within-future-compaction-indication-systems.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T15:07:18Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":17054,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":176550},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=176550"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhusqvarna-group-master-thesis-within-future-compaction-indication-systems"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhusqvarna-group-master-thesis-within-future-compaction-indication-systems"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhusqvarna-group-master-thesis-within-future-compaction-indication-systems"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/husqvarna-group-master-thesis-within-future-compaction-indication-systems\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhusqvarna-group-master-thesis-within-future-compaction-indication-systems"}]}
