Many of today's employees began their Scania/Traton career with their degree project.\nBackground:\nWith the increasing demand on virtual environments for software testing and prototyping, we must support and simulate more systems. Some of these systems are straightforward to describe using conventional differential equations. However, simplified equations are usually used for simulation to meet the real time requirement.\nOne of the key challenges is capturing additional dynamics based on measurement data to improve simulation reliability while maintaining real time constraint.\nTarget:\nThe goal of this thesis is to investigate the applicability and limitations of hybrid physics-based and data-driven modeling for simulation of dynamical systems.\nThe central research question is under which conditions a simplified physical model can successfully be complemented with data-driven methods to construct accurate, robust, and computationally efficient simulations. In particular, we will provide relevant powertrain-related systems to be examined and compare with existing baselines.\nExample assignments:\nWhat approaches are most suitable for combining physics-based equations with ML? Subspace/system-identification-based approaches, Ensemble methods such as XGBoost or similar are some examples.\n\nHow much can the residual error y-y^ be reduced by using ML to compensate for the limitations of a simplified physical model?\n\nUnder what conditions, and using what methods, can we ensure that the resulting hybrid model generalizes well to unseen operating conditions?\n\nWhat data and input signals are required to complement the physical model?\n\nCan we systematically determine which input variables are necessary to achieve sufficient model accuracy?\n\nEducation: MSc in Applied Mathematics or Engineering with specialization in Control Systems, Engineering Physics, Signal Processing or Computer Science\nNumber of students: 1.\nStart date: January/February 2027.\nEstimated time needed: 20-25 weeks.\nContact persons and supervisors\nAxel Olsson \nYung I \nApplication:\nYour application must include a CV, personal letter and transcript of grades\nA 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":2535,"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":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T16:20:30Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":79,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.873,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":9,"expected_fill_days":19,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:mid","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-14T05:58:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/scania-thesis-work-30hp-hybrid-model-development-for-real-time-simulation","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/scania-thesis-work-30hp-hybrid-model-development-for-real-time-simulation.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-14T19:36:24Z","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":24110,"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-thesis-work-30hp-hybrid-model-development-for-real-time-simulation"},{"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-thesis-work-30hp-hybrid-model-development-for-real-time-simulation"},{"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-thesis-work-30hp-hybrid-model-development-for-real-time-simulation"},{"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-thesis-work-30hp-hybrid-model-development-for-real-time-simulation\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fscania-thesis-work-30hp-hybrid-model-development-for-real-time-simulation"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3754005}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"scania.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3754005},"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.
