Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.

Join us!

Are you seeking an opportunity to influence a new exciting area of technology? Do you wish to be part of a team with value-creating development in focus?  We are looking for a thesis worker to support us with the challenge of developing the best modular energy storage system for future heavy trucks and buses. You will do this by helping develop simulations within battery safety topics.

 

Who are you?

You are looking for a master thesis to finish your master within Engineering physics or Mechanical engineering with a focus on CFD simulation. Previous experience in Star-CCM+ is meritorious but not a must, you will contribute with your skillset and motivation.

 

What’s in it for you?

You get to play an important role in development of a state-of-the-art energy storage system. Be a part of a competent and dedicated multiskilled team in an expansively and exciting area of technology. International collaboration within the Traton group.

 

Who are we?

The Battery simulation team is responsible for the evaluation of the internal structure and the electric, thermal and dynamic properties. In close collaboration with battery development, you will be a part of development of the future battery platform for Scania and TRATON Group. 

At our group EVBPS, we are simulation engineers with competence within structural- or fluid mechanics. We work in a SAFE structure where you as a simulation engineer work in teams, side by side, with designers and testing to develop future products. Within EVBPS you are supported by simulation colleagues through competence groups and together you work with the long-term method development of simulation models to support the battery development.

 

Aim

The aim of this master’s thesis is to develop and document a new and improved simulation method for simulating the events inside a battery pack during a thermal runaway. Various topics within this field are available.

 

Assignment:
The first task is to perform a literature study, to find the state of the art approaches in the field. The second part is to implement the appropriate approach in the existing model. This model is to be compared to, if any, available experimental data. If this is successful, a study to speed up the simulation time is to be conducted.

Education
M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering physics, or similar.
Start date: January 2025.
Estimated time needed: 20 weeks.
Number of students: 1.

 

Contact person and supervisor:
Elin Eriksson MSc
Battery simulation, EVBPS

Application:
Enclose CV, personal letter and transcripts of academic results.

A background check might be conducted for this position.
