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

We are searching for an Industrial PhD Candidate, one in motion planning and another in motion control, for autonomous vehicles.

Are you a curious, dedicated, and responsible person that believes leading the way towards sustainable and autonomous transport solutions would be exciting?

At Autonomous Transport Solutions (ATS) Pre-Development & Research, Scania R&D, we pursue top-quality research and development of future cutting edge ATS concepts. We operate in agile and self-steered teams that work in close cooperation with the Volkswagen group, leading technology suppliers, and academic institutions, with the ambition to detect and evaluate upcoming technologies. Our culture is built based upon delivering added customer value through research and practical experiments that iteratively lead to concepts for industrialization.

Does this sound like an interesting technical area? Then send us your application and we will be happy to give you a more detailed explanation.

Your responsibilities

You will be working in an agile multi-cultural research team within R&D. The Motion Planning team is responsible for concept evaluation and software development of trajectory planning for autonomous vehicles, i.e., responsible for planning the desired motion of the vehicle. The Motion Control team is responsible for concept evaluation and software development of longitudinal and lateral control for autonomous vehicles, i.e., responsible for making the vehicle follow the planned motion. The success factor of our teams is the iterative test focused development with rapid prototyping enabled by a flexible autonomous vehicle platform.

As an industrial PhD candidate, you will work in close collaboration with several teams contributing to design, develop, and evaluation of strategies for the autonomous vehicles challenges still to be solved. Your primary focus will be to research and develop novel motion planning/control approaches for semi-trailer trucks driving on slippery roads, and demonstrate the applicability of the approaches in real experiments. Particularly, you will:

• Investigate different motion planning/control approaches for driving on low-friction roads;
• Develop suitable models of semi-trailer trucks based on which the planner/controller will generate/follow trajectories;
• Research motion planning/controls method for adapting the vehicle's behaviour based on the available friction information;
• Investigate how uncertainty in friction estimate affects the performance of the motion planner/controller and propose strategies to handle the uncertainty;
• Ensure that motion planning/control algorithms can handle realistic driving scenarios such as following other vehicles on a safe distance, driving uphill and downhill, cornering, and performing lane changes.

Furthermore, you will be an industrial PhD candidate employed full-time by Scania. You will split your time between Scania, where you will be performing the applied part of your PhD studies, and the academic partner's site, where you will attend courses and be assisted in conducting research. The partner in this project will be the Division of Decision and Control Systems at KTH - Royal Institute of Technology. Depending on your research interests, you will be supervised by Professor Karl Henrik Johansson or Professor Jonas Mårtensson, both of whom have many years of experience in the area of autonomous driving.

Your profile

We like people that are team players, attentive and humble with the ability to drive the technical development forward. You have technical experience in the areas of motion planning and/or control theory, vehicle dynamics, robotics, and/or system identification.

Required

• You have, or you are expected to obtain in near feature, a Master's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Systems and Control, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related field
• A strong background in modelling and analysis of dynamical systems
• Solid programming competence
• Good communication skills, both in written and spoken English

Extra meritorious is

• Experience in one or more of the following:

• Motion planning;
• Designing controllers;
• Vehicle dynamics;
• Optimization;
• System identification and modeling;

• Knowledge and experience within software languages such as C++, C, and MATLAB along with a keen interest in programming.
• Experience within agile development and robotic systems.
• Prior experience in scientific writing

We offer

As an employee at Scania, we offer, in addition to career development, other benefits like a company car, result-based bonus, service pension, flexible working hours, subsidised lunches and a lot more. If you live in Stockholm, we offer a direct bus between Stockholm and Södertälje through the Scania job express.

Your application

You are welcome to mention if you would like to only be considered to one of the positions or both, by default you will be considered for both.

Your application should include a cover letter, CV and copies of your education certificate (when applicable, including courses attended and obtained grades is valued).
