Who are we?
Volvo Cars is a company on a mission; to bring traditional car manufacturing into a connected, sustainable and smart future.
Since 1927, we have been a brand known for our commitment to safety, creating innovative cars that make life less complicated for our consumers. In 2010, we decided to transform our business, resulting in a totally new generation of cars and technologies, as well as steady growth and record sales. Today, we’re expanding our global footprint in Europe, China and the US, and we’re on the lookout for new talent.
We are constantly pushing our own skills and abilities to drive change in the automobile industry like never before. We are looking for innovative, committed people to join us in this endeavour and create safe, sustainable and connected cars. We believe in the power of people and will challenge and support you to reach your full potential. Join us and be part of Volvo Cars’ journey into the future.

What’s in it for you?
Green Propulsion and Thermal management are increasingly important areas for Volvo Cars to become leading in Electrification. ART Thermal management have a key role in energy efficient propulsion by optimizing control towards customer functions and balancing attributes. The systems are getting more advanced and complex including different temperature levels, cooling down, heating up, transfer/transport and store heat for electric motors, battery, control modules etc. All this needs to be designed with sustainability in focus.
ART Thermal management is a part of the department Battery and Thermal within unit Vehicle propulsion. The ART is divided into two groups, TM System Development and TM Hardware, working closely together. Our group, TM System Development, have complete ownership of Thermal management from first architectural sketch to software in vehicles. We are 30 persons with high ambitions, different ages, background and experience. We are characterized as an open and friendly group where everyone shares their knowledge with each other.
What you’ll do
As CAE analysis engineer in Thermal management, you will work in projects in cooperation with the System responsible, other CAE engineers within group and other departments.
Part of your responsibility is to optimize Thermal management systems with respect to different attributes and perform 1-D system analysis and component CFD simulations.
You will drive operational development and contribute to the development of CAE activities within the group. To analyse, draw conclusions and present results from completed calculation activities is also part of your area of responsibility. You will participate in discussions with other groups to ensure proper collaboration and enable attribute assessment on a multiple system level.

Do you fit the profile?
We are looking for a person that has a structured way of approaching issues, are self-driven and always strives for success. You urge for the team effort and you think that collaboration create more value into your daily work. We see that you have a solid theoretical background and great interest in technology that provides you with confidence to be creative.
To be successful in this role you need to have deep knowledge in thermodynamics and heat transfer as well as experience from 1D simulations and/or 3D simulations. If you also have software experience and skills in Gt-suite, Star CCM+, Matlab, Simulink and ANSA it would be a huge asset for us. The ideal candidate has a M.Sc. grade within mechanical engineering, applied mathematics, or similar education or equivalent experience. Fluent in English, written and spoken is a must. Last but not the least, we are looking for someone who - on a personal level - shares our values. For us it means to be enthusiastic, curious and having high integrity.
