Electric Drive Hardware Expert

Geely and Volvo Cars are undertaking a significant industrial collaboration as they merge their powertrain operations into a stand-alone business in order to establish a new global supplier that will seek to develop next-generation combustion engines and hybrid powertrains

The new organization will develop technologically advanced and efficient electric hybrid powertrains for Geely Auto, Proton, Lotus, LEVC, LYNK & CO and Volvo Cars. The new stand-alone business will also supply third-party manufacturers, providing exciting growth opportunities. The gradual electrification of the automotive industry means there will be significant ongoing demand for efficient hybrid powertrains alongside fully electric offerings. This new unit will have the resources, scale and expertise to develop these powertrains.

CEVT is an innovation and development company at the forefront of mobility. Modular development, ground-breaking virtual engineering, software development and continuous innovation enable us to deliver world-class technology.
Today we deliver to different automotive brands in the Geely family such as Geely Auto, Volvo Cars, and Lynk & Co and are based at Lindholmen in Gothenburg.

This is what you will do most of the time:

- Work in our dedicated hybrid transmission team working on all levels of electrification ranging from fully electric to hybrid powertrains.
- Co-operate with our colleagues in China and meet with our EU-based customers.


- Design and evaluate electric drive systems and optimize electric machine designs for the best balance between NVH, durability, cost, and efficiency.
- Take an active part in the development of the electric machine design and simulation methodology required to speed up the design process.
- Lead/support Advanced Engineering projects related to electric drive.
- Manage university contacts within electric machine topics (research collaborations, thesis work etc.)
- Build up electric machine models and perform simulations in tools like MotorCAD and Ansys.
- Support software teams with electric motor control.


Please note that we are flexible and will adapt the role description to your profile.

You have probably this kind of background and qualifications:

- Ph.D. or M.Sc. in Electrical-, Applied Physics-, Electromechanical Engineering or similar
- Working more than 5 years with electric drive, inverter or e-machine hardware at a Tier 1 supplier, engineering company or OEM in an international environment.
