Functional & System Test Engineer - CCS Charging

Who are we?
Volvo Cars is a company on a mission; to bring traditional car manufacturing into a connected, sustainable and smart future. Since 1927, we have been a brand known for our commitment to safety, creating innovative cars that make life less complicated for our consumers.

About us
A central part of an electric vehicle is its charging system, and what we call “the charging experience”. Charging is a big and complex area where technology is still being developed at a rapid pace and the customer impact is big. A large part of the work in our teams is focused on verifying adherence to market dependent communication protocols, which are of vital importance for charging to work at all. At the same time, we work with customer charging experience of the complete charging system and its functions, and to merge these aspects we need creative and highly skilled people.
About you
We are now looking for someone to join the team of functional and system testers working primarily with CCS, which is the standard used for EV charging in the US and EU. PLC communication according to Home Plug green PHY protocol is a close description of the Physical and Data link layers used in CCS communication, and we are looking for someone who understand what this means. We are looking for someone who enjoys and has the experience of working with computer ISO-OSI network architecture and the different communication protocols involved, and possibly even with experience of fault tracing in this area. This is perhaps a bit unusual for many network specialists, but this is sometimes required in the work at hand, debugging the communication with a charging station.
What you´ll do
The work will cover most aspects of tests and analysis of the charging system starting in reading standards and internal requirements and ending in vehicle validation of entire functions in the field. Collecting and analyzing data from many sources in the vehicles is a major part of the work. System testing is done by both manual test methods and with automated tests, and we participate in all steps from writing and performing test methods to working with test automation and hands-on testing on different charging stations. We work both in HIL simulators and in vehicles on test tracks and on expeditions.
Do you fit the profile?
You are familiar with tools and techniques used to measure and analyze both analogue and digital systems.You are interested in and understand automotive control system development.
We believe that you have at least a B.Sc. Degree within engineering, preferably electronics, software engineering or equivalent. On top on this, you have some years of experience with Autosar and you are familiar with electric concepts, electrical safety and embedded Software testing. We are a global company so a must for us is that you are fluent in English. Also, you should have a driving license (B), preferably you love cars as much as we do.
This is what you need to have. But we also have a few things that is nice to have If you also have any of the following skills, we consider it to be meritorious:
* In depth knowledge and experience with CCS charging standards like DIN 70121 and ISO 15118 is highly meritorious.
* It would also be great If you have worked and are familiar with concepts like bi-directional charging or Plug & Charge.
* Knowledge of power electronics, especially on-board charger functionality
* You have a fair understanding of ISO-OSI and the TCP-IP network architecture
* For successfully testing whether charging functionality is conforming to CCS DC and AC system in the field you need to be well acquainted with different tools:Experience with CANoe/CANalyzer measurements and analysis
* Experience measuring and debugging with INCA and Wireshark
* Experience in data-logging with BluePirat

* Experience with Automation Desk
* Experience in HIL (dSPACE) testing with Control Desk
* Your background includes experience of SW programming in C++ or Python
