We believe in the power of people and will challenge and support you to reach your full potential. Join us and be part of Volvo Cars’ journey into the future.

Who we are

Volvo Cars has been at the forefront of innovation since 1927, and today, with five fully electric cars on the market and another five in development, we are committed to full electrification. Our goal is to become a fully electric car company and achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. Within the Propulsion & Energy unit, our Power Electronics department is responsible for designing traction inverters, onboard chargers, and DC-DC converters. We are currently developing our third-generation power electronics products for the fully electric SPA3 platform, with the new EX60 being the first car on this platform. Our team is dedicated to improving efficiency, power density, weight, and cost while ensuring the highest quality and safety standards.

What you will do

As a Power Electronics Systems Engineer, you will join the Power Conversion Systems group, focusing on the systems design of DC-DC and AC-DC converters. This role requires a solid understanding of hardware and software designs, including functional safety aspects. You will design and build power conversion system architectures, model power conversion topologies using simulation tools, lead cross-functional system design activities, analyze input requirements, and perform FMEA of power conversion systems. Additionally, you will maintain traceability of requirements, review hardware-software interface specifications, perform fault tree analysis, support test engineers, and collaborate with other systems engineers, architects, and concept leaders.
