Safety Engineer for the Engine Management System

Role Summary

This role is a part of TRATON Group R&D, located in Södertälje, Sweden

Would you like to combine hands-on safety engineering with complex technical challenges-and see your work contribute to vehicles across the TRATON Group?

As a Safety Engineer for our Engine Management System, you will conduct safety analyses and define safety measures to address risks arising from malfunctions in electrical/electronic systems and mechanical powertrain components. You will work with engine and aftertreatment control systems in a domain where safety, vehicle performance and environmental impact are closely connected. You will be close to product decisions through participation in approval forums and system-level decision meetings.

Job Responsibilities

Your tasks will include:

• Creation of structured, systematic techniques such as Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA) and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
• Development of technical safety concepts for the engine and after treatment systems.
• Contribute to the further development of safety processes and culture at the Powertrain Controls department.

Perform safety analysis like FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) and DFA (Dependent Failure Analysis)

Who You Are

We are looking for a curious and analytical professional with a strong passion for functional safety and a collaborative mindset. You thrive in cross-functional environments, take ownership of your work, and enjoy solving complex problems in a structured and methodical manner. You can drive topics independently and confidently navigate technical discussions with a variety of stakeholders.

Experience working with functional safety and leading technical development activities is highly valued. Familiarity with industry standards, particularly ISO 26262 (with emphasis on Parts 4, 5, and 6), as well as experience developing products in regulated environments, would be a strong advantage. Knowledge of software and hardware safety monitoring concepts is also desirable.

Additional qualifications include an interest in programming, experience with Python, and an understanding of engines and vehicle systems. You hold a degree in engineering or equivalent and possess strong written and verbal communication skills in English. Proficiency in Swedish, or a willingness to learn the language, is considered an advantage. A Category C/D driving license is also beneficial.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds - your unique experience and perspectives is valuable to us.

This Is Us

You will join a team of 14 engineers working across System Ownership, Functional Safety, Safety Engineering, Requirements Engineering and Cybersecurity. Together, we support the Engine and Aftertreatment Control Systems-among Scania’s most advanced real-time control systems-and help ensure compliance with functional safety standards and cybersecurity regulations in markets including the EU, China and the United States.

Our responsibilities span several disciplines, but we work towards a shared goal. We take ownership of our respective areas while helping each other solve problems and succeed with our deliveries. There is always someone to discuss a challenging technical question with, explore a different perspective or ask for support.

We value an open environment where you can ask questions, share ideas and learn from others. Our different cultural and educational backgrounds bring a range of perspectives, and knowledge sharing and personal development are important parts of how we work. Here, you will have room to deepen your expertise while contributing to the team’s collective knowledge and results.

Within TRATON Group R&D, you are an important part of something bigger. Joining us means gaining access to the ins and outs of the entire transportation industry.
