Get to know us! 
The department Battery & Charging Controls is responsible for the development of major parts of hybrid and electric vehicle systems at Volvo Cars. The group Charging Software is responsible for delivering software functionality, in regards of actual software deliveries, but also diagnostics functionality, for the on-board charger (OBC) and the DCDCs in our electrified vehicles.
The on-board charger (OBC) is essential for electrified vehicles, it holds the functionality to charge the traction battery from the grid, and it is for sure of highest importance in a pure electric vehicle. The DCDCs converts energy from the traction battery to supply the low voltage system.

Our vision is to deliver the best functionality in the market for Charging Software functionality and diagnostics and to continuously evolve our way of working. We strive for a more modular platform that is suitable for our vision of continuous integration/deployment and with a higher focus on the product. For diagnostic our vision is also to be even more connected/integrated into the functionality and to increase the availability of the OBC and DCDCs.

To summarize test result and create defect reports are also part of the daily tasks. Interaction with the ones that have implemented the software, either the colleagues in the team nearby or the external supplier is needed to gain information about implementation and test results and well as review documentation.
You will utilize Test-vehicles, HIL(Hardware-In-the-Loop) or test bench setup depending on what test environments that is most suited for the test. Another part is to contribute to define new way of testing and to use the possibility that comes with a more and more mature CI-chain.

You also need to participate in the strategy in how we can gain more information about what’s happening and especially how we can be more proactive in the case that the charging does not work at some specific charging stations so that correct actions can be made.
