Many of today's employees at TRATONbegan their career with a degree project.\nTRATON is a group of strong brands, including Scania, MAN and International, with a shared mission: to create the future of sustainable transport solutions. Development of heavy-dutybattery electric vehicles (BEVs) constitute a core part of this mission.Batteries make up a large fraction of the cost of BEVs, and their capacity and performance (state of health) degradeover time in a usage-dependent way. The residual value of a used battery follows the same trend. Models that estimate, predict,and explain the degradation of vehicle batteries throughout their life cycle are therefore an important success factor for TRATON, both to help our customers get the most out of their electric vehicles and to improve future product designs.Battery degradation is a complex process that is difficult to model from first principles and expensive to characterise experimentally. Practical aging models therefore rely on data-driven approaches that combine domain expertise with data from multiple sources, and the ability to model across battery generations is potentially valuable.\nObjective\nThis thesis project aims to exploremethods to build lifetime models that combine data from vehicles in operation with some different data source, such as labtestsorsimulations, in order to facilitate continuous and cumulative improvements. We favour Bayesian methodsto enable probabilistic forecasts using complex non-linear models.\nJob description\nThe student will implement battery aging modelsthat combines models or datafrom lab tests with operational data, and explore the ability to refine predictions and learningsas operational accumulates over time. The work will be conducted on siteat TRATON R&D in Södertälje.\nEducation/program/focus\nWe are looking forastudent in applied mathematics or engineering with knowledge of Bayesian statistics, strong skills in numerical programminganddata analysis using Ror python, and experience with analytical calculations. Knowledge of SQL, time series models and probabilistic programming in Stan or a similar language is valuable, as is a scientific background from undergraduate courses in engineering or physical sciences. Knowledge of electrochemistry and battery technology is helpful but not necessary.\nNumber of students: one\nStart date for the thesis work: January 2027(flexible).\nEstimated time required: one semester.\nContact persons and supervisors\nMartin Lindén, PhD, development engineer,Battery Lifetime Analytics team, \nDaniel Carlsson, head of unit Lifetime, Regulations and Safety, \nApplication:\nYour application must include a CV, personal letter and transcript of gradesand be submitted via our website.Make sure to high-light relevant skills and course work, including ongoing courses. 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":3188,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T04:11:27Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":73,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.81,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":8,"expected_fill_days":15,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:mid","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-21T05:46:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/scania-master-thesis-student-battery-lifetime-analytics","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/scania-master-thesis-student-battery-lifetime-analytics.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T23:28:07Z","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":33443,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"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":445730},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=445730"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fscania-master-thesis-student-battery-lifetime-analytics"},{"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%2Fscania-master-thesis-student-battery-lifetime-analytics"},{"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%2Fscania-master-thesis-student-battery-lifetime-analytics"},{"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-student-battery-lifetime-analytics\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fscania-master-thesis-student-battery-lifetime-analytics"}]}
