Many of today's employees began their Scania/Traton career with their degree project.\nBackground\nAre you passionate about contributing to sustainability and circularity? This master's thesis project aims to enhance transparency and circularity in the lifecycle of permanent magnets. The research will be conducted primarily within the materials team at Traton, in close collaboration with research institute, and academia partners.\nObjective\nDevelop a decision-support module in an LCA environment for permanent magnets by modelling the material flows and environmental impacts across the upstream supply chain and downstream end-of-life pathways, enabling comparison of alternative sourcing, eco-design, and circularity strategies.\n- How can the upstream and downstream material flows of NdFeB permanent magnets be represented in an LCA-based decision-support module?\n- How do downstream process affect the environmental performance and circularity potential of permanent magnets via downstream module?\n- What information generated by the LCA model can support material selection and circularity-related decision making during product development?\nJob description\nThis thesis project will involve literature study, module developing, analysis, and reporting. You should have a solid understanding of material and process flow analysis, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and good digital proficiency.\nEducation/program/focus\nIndicate education, program or focus: in the final year of a Master’s program in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or Sustainable Technologies\nNumber of students: 1\nStart date for the thesis work: January, 2027\nEstimated time required: until June, 2027\nContact persons and supervisors\nTraton Supervisor:Xiong Xiao, PhD, Material Technology, Traton AB\nInstitute supervisor: Mudit Chordia, PhD, Researcher, RISE\nKTH supervisor:Jiechen Wu, PhD, Lecturer, Department of Sustainable Development, Environmental Science and Engineering (SEED), KTH Royal Institute of Technology\nApplication:\nYour application must include a CV, personal letter and transcript of grades\nFor questions, please contact Xiong Xiao, PhD, . A background check might be conducted for this position. We are conducting interviews continuously and may close the recruitment earlier than the date specified.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2530,"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":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Automotive Manufacturing","Automotive Components"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T18:32:33Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":19,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-14T05:58:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/scania-master-thesis-30hp-developing-a-decision-support-module-for-permanent-magnets","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/scania-master-thesis-30hp-developing-a-decision-support-module-for-permanent-magnets.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-14T21:12:37Z","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":27245,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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":445730},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=445730"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fscania-master-thesis-30hp-developing-a-decision-support-module-for-permanent-magnets"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"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%2Fscania-master-thesis-30hp-developing-a-decision-support-module-for-permanent-magnets"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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%2Fscania-master-thesis-30hp-developing-a-decision-support-module-for-permanent-magnets"},{"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/scania-master-thesis-30hp-developing-a-decision-support-module-for-permanent-magnets\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fscania-master-thesis-30hp-developing-a-decision-support-module-for-permanent-magnets"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4273674}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"scania.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4273674},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
