We are looking for a Junior Analysis Engineer to join the Thermal Efficiency team at Volvo Cars Headquarters in Gothenburg.

What we offer
On our journey towards a sustainable future a new focus area was discovered, thermal efficiency. We strive towards energy efficient cars with maximum range and are one of the attribute teams at Sustainability Centre. 

As a part of the Thermal Efficiency team, you will take part in developing this new focus area, finding new methods and ways of working to minimize thermal losses and unnecessary usage of energy. 

This is a great opportunity for a newly graduated Engineer or someone with a few years of experience to embark on their career in a company that fully appreciates the importance of customer experience, safety, and sustainability. In this role, you will develop your engineering skills and gain a network within the company.

Do you want to join our journey while reaching your personal goals together with dedicated people in future car projects? Then this role is the place for you to prosper. We can offer you great team spirit while striving together for sustainable and high-quality standards of our products. 

What you’ll do
As a Junior Analysis Engineer you will be part of an agile team working with physical verification in the wind tunnel and in rigs. You will take part in preparing the cars before the verification, perform the actual test and then do the analyse of the results from the verification. You will then lead a meeting where you present your results to relevant stakeholders and give ideas on how to improve their design. 

You will take part in finding new tools and software and in developing new test methods and requirements in our goal of minimizing thermal losses. 

For this position you need to work from the office in Torslanda most of the time and since the wind tunnel testing is planned in 3 shifts a day some overtime is to be expected. 

In this role, you will be thoroughly introduced to create the best conditions for you to grow and prosper in your role as Industrial Engineer. This is a great opportunity for you to grow into a fully equipped Analysis Engineer with great opportunities to grow within the company. 

You and your skills
We see that you have a genuine car interest and a willingness to develop within physical testing in wind tunnels. To have knowledge of thermodynamics is a valued competence as well as knowledge within CAE, as it will help you get insight in the work done by your neighbouring team at Thermal Efficiency. 

You have a university degree in Engineering or equivalent working experience and your English is fluent (written and spoken).

To be a member of a team is your preferred way of working and you don’t hesitate to step in and help your colleagues in their tasks, or to ask for help when you need it.
