Development Engineer - Drivability Control Functions

Role Summary

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

As a Development Engineer in TGRAMD2 Drivability Control Functions 1, you will be part of a team working at the core of vehicle motion control. Our software functions affect how the truck behaves and feels, all the way from the accelerator pedal, through the powertrain, to the wheels.

 

You will work with development and integration of software functionality for both conventional, hybrid and fully electrified drivetrains, with focus on areas such as propulsion, retardation, and drivability.

 

This role combines embedded software development with hands-on vehicle work. You will not only develop functions in code and simulation environments but also verify and refine them in vehicle. It is a role for someone who enjoys both technical depth and seeing the result of their work in real driving situations. Since testing is done both locally and during test activities in Sweden and Europe, travel is a natural part of the role.

 

You will join a team in a dynamic and fast-changing environment, where priorities can shift and collaboration across teams, functions, and TRATON Group R&D sites and brands is part of everyday work.

 

Job Responsibilities

 

In this role, you will work with development, calibration, testing, and delivery of software functions connected to vehicle motion and drivability.

 

Your responsibilities will include:

 

• developing embedded software functions in C and Matlab/Simulink
• verifying functionality in software-in-the-loop (SIL) environments as well as in vehicle
• taking ownership of your functions from requirement and design through implementation, verification, and delivery
• collaborating closely with developers, test engineers, and stakeholders in cross-functional teams
• contributing to an agile and evolving setup where teams and focus areas may change over time depending on business needs and project direction
• supporting a global way of working, where solutions are developed for multiple brands within TRATON

 

Who You Are

 

You are a curious, driven, and collaborative engineer who enjoys solving technical problems in a practical context. You like to understand how things work in the real product, not only in theory. You seek to turn your ideas into reality in a short amount of time.

 

We believe you:

 

• have solid background in software development, preferably within embedded systems
• have substantial hands-on experience writing C code
• have strong experience working with Matlab and Simulink in engineering work
• hold a commercial vehicle license (category C), a CE license is a strong advantage
• bring an interest in mechatronics, control systems, vehicle behaviour, or related areas, and want to understand how software affects the vehicle
• are comfortable in a fast-paced environment, adapt to changing priorities and direction, and stay open to solutions from other teams and perspectives
• can take initiative, learn quickly, and move work forward
• enjoy teamwork and contribute with a helpful, prestige-free mindset
• communicate well in spoken and written English
• hold a relevant university degree, for example in mechatronics, engineering physics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, software engineering, or a related field

 

Experience from nearby areas such as testing, verification, brake systems, propulsion, gear shifting strategy, e mobility, or related software development within the vehicle domain is highly valuable.

 

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

 

This Is Us

 

Drivability Control Functions 1 is part of the Drivability and Integration section in a domain called Motion Control within TRATON Group R&D. We work with software that has a direct impact on how the vehicle feels and performs on the road. Delivering a premium drivability experience is key for us, in both conventional and new powertrain technologies. This is done by developing and integrating functionality in areas such as propulsion, retardation, torque distribution and traction logic, always having drivability in mind.

 

Our area is evolving as the industry moves towards more software-defined vehicles. This transition requires us to innovate and develop new and smart solutions.

 

We are a team that values technical curiosity, teamwork, and ownership. We work closely together, support each other, and take pride in building solutions that fulfil the highest standards, whilst still being modular and maintainable over time. We also work in a broader TRATON setup, which means collaboration across brands, functions, and sites is part of everyday work.

 

This is a role for someone who wants to be close to both software and product, and who is motivated by being part of a team with high ambitions, strong technical content, and real impact on the future of transport.

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. 

 

TRATON Offers

 

We offer a dynamic and engaging workplace where collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement are part of everyday life. You will be part of a strong team environment that encourages knowledge sharing and close cooperation across functions.

 

With a structured development plan and a wide range of training opportunities, TRATON Group R&D supports your professional growth both locally and internationally.

 

Benefits include access to our health center in Gröndal or a wellness allowance, bonus, flexible working hours, and company car leasing. We also arrange events for employees and their families, and for those living in Stockholm, convenient commuting is supported through direct Scania Job express buses to Södertälje.
