Description
The Exhaust aftertreatment system (EATS) department within Volvo Powertrain Engineering is responsible for the global platform development of exhaust aftertreatment systems for the Volvo Group’s different products around the world. We are a team of highly skilled engineers on a mission to reduce the environmental impact of global transportation and together with our colleagues around the world, we take full system responsibility.


EATS Catalysts & Filters is one of the hardware teams in the EATS section and we have responsibility of the catalysts and particulate filter components in the EATS system. It is a global responsibility and the development is carried out in close cooperation with the global EATS teams around the world as well as the suppliers. Good communication skills and a collaborative mind-set are key competences to secure that the global needs are addressed in the system design and requirement balancing. Included in the team’s responsibility is also the testing and verification of the EATS system to secure its performance. Our working environment is very creative with new technologies and inventions and with a large network of suppliers and other external actors.


We are now looking for an experienced Performance & Calibration Test engineer to reinforce our EATS hardware development and testing team. The challenge as an EATS Test engineer is to choose and incorporate the right aftertreatment technology and hardware in the muffler and to adapt the system with the engine in order to fulfil the performance, durability and quality criterias set by the different projects. Our technical solutions offer more than 90% reduction of particulates and nitrogen oxide emissions coming out from the engine.


A major part of the work is to perform evaluation tests at the engine laboratory but also to develop and improve our test codes and processes.
