About us
Volvo Cars commitment in electrification and autonomous drive take us on a new journey into the development of Electrical Design. At Volvo Cars, we are always looking for world-class engineers who bring out the best in our people. If you want to be part of leading and inspiring our mission to change the automotive experience and make people’s lives less complicated, then we have the job for you. Volvo Cars has transformed to the Agile Way of Working applying the Scaled Agile Framework. We have taken team work to the next level. 

What do we do?
The Electrical Design team play a central role within the complete ART ‘EI Electrical Infrastructure’. The Electrical Design (ED) scrum teams within the group include Infotainment; Active & Passive Safety; Propulsion (High Voltage and Low Voltage); Comfort and Chassis. We are responsible for the design and development of the complete vehicles electrical 'nervous' system. Creating concepts and high level designs and leading the way to produce the next generation of galvanic electrical structures. We integrate all electrical interfaces; balance various requirements in particular load demands versus dimensioning of cables.

Your key tasks
We are now searching for a High Voltage Electrical Design engineer who together with your colleagues will be responsible for developing electrical design solutions for both new and existing platforms. This means that you will define solutions based on the electrical architecture mechanisms in a fully distributed electrical system. You will participate in the overall system design process to help manage, resolve and balance conflicting requirements.  You will work with other electrical engineers & designers to lead and coordinate solutions across platforms and will work in close collaboration with the test group to ensure that requirements are testable and work as intended. 
Main responsibilities
-    Define solutions based on the electrical architecture mechanisms in a fully distributed electrical system. Create Schematics together with other system engineers.
-    Perform investigations and generate concepts on subsystem and architecture level to reach reliability, cost and performance in the electrical system
-     Be part of team efforts to develop solutions cross platforms.

You and your skills 
You are a person with a positive and open attitude, a team player with the ability to assess different technical solutions. You are structured, costumer focused, self-driven and results oriented.  We believe that you have strong communication and documentation skills. You  have MSc / BSc in Electrical & Electronic engineering or Mechatronics. Minimum 3 years’ experience in HW electrical system design. Fluent in English, written and spoken.

Preferred experience:
-    Power distribution system development.
-    Power electronics
-    HV and LV design experience
-    Creating/Drafting system designs/schematics
-    Test experience.
-    Grounding system development.
-    Vehicle electrical architecture development.
-    FMEA; System safety; EMC & ELP
-    Matlab Simulink experience
