Powertrain Engineering is looking for a Data Scientist within Powertrain simulation.

Take the opportunity to join the exciting change journey Powertrain Engineering (PE) is embarking on when creating the future powertrains for our customers as well as the future working place for our employees-come join us!

This is us, your new colleagues.

We are proud product owners for components, systems as well as complete powertrains. We are accountable for the lifecycle management of our products, from advanced engineering, through product development into the maintenance phase. Most of our powertrain components are traditional combustion engines, after treatment systems, transmissions and axles, however the importance of e-mobility and combustion engines with new fuels are growing every day.

We stand in front of significant challenges – where reducing transport emitted CO2 emissions is one of the biggest.

In this position you will be part of an organization dedicated to technology as well as empowering and developing our employees. We always use customer satisfaction as the ultimate performance measurement.

Tasks in the role as Data Scientist within Powertrain simulation.

Powertrain simulation is a data-intensive task and new scripts and methods are needed to deal with more complex engines. Work will be both utilizing existing tools for data handling and modeling as well as to improve our methods and tools.
