Role Summary

We are looking for a skilled and driven Test Engineer (TE) to join our team responsible for verifying and validating the powertrain and aftertreatment control systems in vehicles. As a Test Engineer, you will perform manual system tests in vehicle, test cell, and HIL environments to ensure functionality, safety, and driveability of the Engine Management System (EMS) and Aftertreatment Management System (AMS).
You will play a key role in securing high-quality deliveries, supporting development teams, and contributing to continuous improvement within R&D.

Job Responsibilities

Some of your typical work tasks will be:

System & Software Testing

  • Safety tests
  • General function tests
  • Powertrain Software Shakedown (validation and driveability evaluation)
  • Backward compatibility tests
  • Exploratory testing (when requested)
• Prepare and maintain test equipment (e.g. Break-Out-Boxes).
• Document and report product deviations through Jira and other tools.
• Develop and maintain manual system tests after review and approval from affected competence groups.
• Maintain clear communication and collaboration with test developers and software developers.

• Participate in team activities such as daily steering, sprint planning, competence meetings, and retrospectives.

 

Pre-PVE Testing

• Perform Pre PVE L1–L2 tests in vehicles.
• Provide structured feedback to responsible owners via Jira.
• Pick up and return hardware BPUs for testing from the storage unit.
• Conduct minor mechanical tasks that do not require workshop support.

Who you are

You are a technically skilled and detail-oriented engineer who enjoys hands-on testing and teamwork. You are structured, proactive, and motivated by solving complex technical challenges in real vehicle environments.
We believe you have:

• Experience in system testing or powertrain testing within automotive R&D.
• Understanding of embedded software, vehicle control systems, and diagnostics.
• Familiarity with Jira, test reporting, and deviation management.
• A truck driving license C (D or CE will be plus) — required for vehicle testing.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with developers, test managers, and other stakeholders.
• Good communication skills in English (Swedish is a plus).
• Experience from TRATON or other automotive R&D organizations is considered a strong merit.

  Authority

• Suspend or abort tests if software shows extensive functionality issues or safety deviations.
• Define and execute testing from a customer-oriented perspective.
• Align requirements and test scope with the test manager (e.g. STL/OTL) before execution.

 

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