About us
We are a team of 20 members who work intensely with development and validation of the technical solutions in Hybrid- and Electric vehicles.
Our focus is within analysis and validation of the on board charger (OBC) and the DC/DC converters. We are now looking for an addition to our team of OBC and DC/DC testers, and specifically we wish to strengthen the team in the area of Combined Charging System (CCS), which is the most common standard for EV charging in Europe and in the US. The work environment is open and energetic and we continuously strive for improvement and welcome new and creative ideas. The team composition is multi-cultural, English is therefore more common than Swedish and the varying background, and experience of the members contributes to a welcoming and respectful openness to all new members. Here is a chance to be part of our journey.

What you´ll do
The work will cover most aspects of tests and analysis of the Charging System and DC/DC, starting in reading standards and internal requirements and ending in vehicle validation of entire functions in the field. Collecting and analysing data from many sources in the vehicles is a major part of the work. System testing include both manual test methods and automated tests, and we participate in all steps from writing and performing test methods. We work both in HIL simulators and in vehicles on test tracks and on expeditions. Driving license, and a willingness to travel is therefore required.

Do you fit the profile?
You are curious and motivated by finding both technical problems and technical solutions to challenges. You are familiar with measurement techniques used to analyse both analogue and digital systems. Your background includes experience of SW programming and electronics, and knowledge of communication standards such as Home Plug and TCP/IP are meritorious. You are well acquainted with tools such as Canalyzer, Wireshark and INCA.
