We are looking for a Test Leader – Central Coordination to join our agile, cross-functional team. In this role, you will lead and coordinate testing activities across the entire software development cycle, from concept to release in real vehicles. You will ensure that our embedded real-time systems meet the highest quality standards while supporting your colleagues with best practices in testing. By representing the team in change control and cross-functional forums, you will play a key part in driving continuous improvement and enabling safe, innovative solutions in Scania's trucks and buses.

•    Lead and coordinate test activities throughout the full development lifecycle.

•    Represent the team in change control boards and cross-functional forums.

•    Coach and support team members in testing methods and best practices.

•    Perform hands-on testing of embedded real-time systems in SIL, HIL, and vehicle environments.

•    Ensure deliveries meet quality requirements and customer expectations.

•    Drive test-related improvements and contribute to agile ways of working. 

You are an experienced test professional with a solid background in embedded systems and a genuine passion for quality assurance. With a proactive and solution-oriented mindset, you naturally take the lead in coordinating and structuring testing activities, while also guiding and coaching others in best practices. You have strong communication and collaboration skills, allowing you to represent the team effectively in cross-functional forums. You have a M.Sc. in Engineering (e.g., embedded systems, mechatronics, computer science, electronics) or equivalent work experience, which has given you deep technical expertise, and you are comfortable working hands-on in test environments such as SIL, HIL, and complete vehicles. You thrive in an agile and collaborative setting, and you are fluent in English, both spoken and written.

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

We are a close-knit, agile team working across the full development chain – from early ideas and prototyping to production, release, and field issue analysis. Our mission is to integrate platform and application software deliveries, ensuring continuous, system-tested COO releases.
The Coordinator (COO), which in the future will be named CVC (Central Vehicle Controller), is the central control unit in Scania's trucks and buses, installed in every vehicle produced. It manages driver inputs, distributes real-time signals, hosts advanced real-time applications (such as ADAS functions), and provides diagnostics and system safeguards.
We value creativity, continuous improvement, and a supportive environment with a high degree of freedom – and we truly care for each other. At Scania, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace.
