Experienced Control Theory Software Engineer for Emission Control

Volvo Group’s mission is to drive prosperity through transport solutions. Our customers bring goods to every corner of the world and people to their workplaces or families. But with increasing transportation comes the need to minimize the environmental impact through high-tech innovations.

This is us, your new colleagues:
Our customers and different application still need fuel consumption efficient combustion engines with minimized environmentally impact in our society. In our department we develop the next generation aftertreatment system, both in hardware and also in state of the art control system.
Our group, EATS control, is responsible for all the software functions in the aftertreatment system. With new concepts, new CO2-demands and emission legislation, our group develops new innovative emission control solutions. We are accountable for the lifecycle management of our products, from advanced engineering, through product development into the maintenance phase.


Work description:
Our work is to find innovative solutions for our new low emission challenges. You and the team will understand the legal and customer requirements, design and implement a robust software solution and do the verification of the logic.
We develop control strategies for new hardware-concepts, but also new innovative solutions to achieve more efficient solutions with reduced complexity.
The work involves the entire chain; from early concept development with new control innovative strategies, but we also use classic control and incremental improvements to maintain and improve our functionality in our production fleet.


A working day can be both software development in front of the computer, as well as driving a truck, testing your developed functionality!
We work in agile teams of 5-7 colleagues with complementary skills committed to a common purpose. Every team plan their work in 3 week sprints and deliver solutions together as a team. We mostly use the graphical programing tool, Simulink/Targetlink.
For fault-tracing and to improve our software architecture and testing framework, we use python, m-scripting, and C programming too.


Responsibilities and tasks will be:
Analyze, design EATS control strategies
Implement and verify EATS control strategies
Participate in system engineering work supporting the EATS product, together with calibration-engineers and hardware-system-design groups
Analyze, provide feedback and develop procedures and processes, e.g. for automated and manual verification tests or for software function development

Who are you?
To be successful in this position you should be a team player and have a solution oriented attitude. You have control theory and the skills of SW-development, but additional to this you love to see theory being brought into real system and real product.
A mindset of being curious and willing to learning new things.
We believe that you possess following competencies:
Education and/or experience of Control Theory
Previous experience in Matlab – Targetlink/Simulink
Fluent in English, both spoken and written
Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechatronics, Applied physics, Chemistry or comparable

What can we offer you?
We can offer you an exciting and global working environment which will give you valuable experience that will contribute to your future development within the Volvo Group. You will influence the development of our future products.
Our CEO Martin Lundstedt often says that “going to work should be fun for real”. We think that too! Therefore we organize “hack days” every 10 weeks where everyone can spend time on their own project for competence development, develop new things or improve our development environment. We also have social activities to get to know each other.
Your manager will be supporting you in your personal development. There are a lot of career opportunities in different areas within Volvo, both internationally and in Sweden. We will prepare you for your next step when you are ready.

Are we a perfect match?
Volvo Group is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of trucks, buses, construction equipment and marine and industrial engines. When joining us you will be a part of the biggest technology shift in the transport industry in decades, with our innovative products we make our customers win. We want you to be in the front seat. Do you want to join us on our future journey?
