What do we offer?
Sustainability is now one of the three pillars that make up the very life and soul of Volvo Cars, just as safety has been since the birth of the company. Within Materials Efficiency we contribute to sustainability by supporting design, engineering teams at ARTs and procurement in choosing the most suitable materials at the right place in the car to secure the quality.

This we do by formulating and distribute requirements for ageing of polymer materials at both components and complete vehicle level. The teams are highly involved in verification through testing of components, subsystems and systems, and are responsible for complete vehicle test and analysis. As one of Volvo Cars sustainability goal is to increase the amount of recycled material in the car, the dialogue with engineering teams about polymer materials has become truly important.

Do you want to reach your personal goals together with dedicated people in the future car projects? Then the role as Analysis Engineer within Ageing Polymer Materials Teams at Material Centre is the place for you to prosper. We can offer you great team spirit while striving to secure high quality standards of our products.

You will have a close cooperation with the engineering departments you are working with. Your responsibilities will be to develop test plans, perform system and component testing and secure that the test results and reports are delivered on time. You will be involved in virtual verification of car projects. You will also summarise lessons learned from each project and feed back to engineering in the concept phase of the next program. You will also participate in the development of new test methods to meet future needs and requirements.

Who are you?
You are a customer focused engineer with the ability to drive tasks towards goals and deliver on time.
