Role Summary

As a Brake System Engineer, you’ll play a vital role in shaping one of the most complex and safety-critical systems in our vehicles: the brake system. You’ll take the lead in driving testing, development, and homologation activities—especially for special vehicles, which are tailored to meet specific customer needs.

These projects often involve adapting our standard configurations to unique use cases, requiring updated braking functionality and certification. Your work will be hands-on, collaborative, and make a direct impact on the performance and safety of our trucks.

Job Responsibilities

In this role, your key responsibilities include:

• Coordinating assignments related to braking systems for special vehicle projects in close collaboration with relevant departments
• Planning and conducting vehicle testing and homologation at Scania’s test track, during winter tests in northern Scandinavia, and at supplier facilities in Germany
• Managing homologation processes in collaboration with Scania’s certification department and external regulatory authorities (e.g., in the Netherlands)
• Preparing test vehicles together with workshop mechanics
• Working closely with brake system suppliers to ensure alignment and technical quality

Who You Are

You are a curious, solution-oriented engineer with a strong interest in vehicle performance and systems development. You take initiative, enjoy cross-functional collaboration, and thrive on turning technical challenges into solutions that work in the real world.

What you bring:

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in mechanical or vehicle engineering (or similar)
• A strong sense of responsibility for your work and a drive to continuously learn and improve
• An ability to plan your own activities while working well with others in a team setting
• A technical mindset, with an interest in how customer usage and vehicle chassis influence system performance

It’s a plus if you have experience with:

• Brake system development for vehicles
• Homologation processes for heavy trucks
• Heavy vehicle driving and conducting vehicle testing
• Tools such as CANape, MATLAB, CANalyzer, IPEtronic, or similar
