Want to drive digital change in automotive?
At Volvo Cars, we are making bold digital visions come true. We aim to lead in the automotive world by creating a digital ecosystem built around making our customers' lives less complicated. Now we are looking for curious, creative people who want to change the world through innovative thinking.

About us – your new teammates
We at Complete HIL Integration Environments, have the responsibility to develop and maintain electrical HIL rigs (Hardware in the Loop) at complete vehicle level. Our HILs are used for Integration and verification of both HW and SW in early phases. The purpose of HIL is to stimulate the system and its components to believe they are in a real vehicle with all their dynamics. This is achieved by simulating environmental models that execute in real time on dSpace SCALEXIO simulators. We secure that the HIL rigs can be updated with new technology to support future projects such as electrification and autonomous vehicles.

What you’ll do
As a HIL engineer you will work in a cross functional HIL team, with continuous improvements regarding test automation, modeling in Simulink and integration of HIL solutions. You get a broad understanding of Volvo Cars Vehicle systems and Electrical functions. You will also work with other groups at Volvo, our suppliers and create a wide network. The role gives you a varied and challenging work. Together with your colleagues, you will further develop the HIL concept to enable test automation and “Continuous Integration”.
Working in a highly effective team, you strive to continually develop yourself and the team; you contribute in developing new ways of working to be at the forefront of industry.

Some of your main responsibilities
•    Initiate, lead and drive the building, developing, maintaining and testing of HIL rigs for the complete vehicle platform
•    Support in performing verification in vehicles at system or functional level
•    Be part of team efforts to develop solutions across platforms

Do you fit the profile?
You are as a person curious and like to solve problems. You are flexible and can handle multiple parallel tasks at the same time. You are social and work effectively together with others to achieve results. You are driven, quality conscious and like questions about the improvement of methods and processes.
•    Master’s degree or B.Sc. grade within electronics, physics, mechatronics or a similar education.
•    At least 3 years of relevant work experience
