Today, we’re expanding our global footprint in Europe, China and the US, and we’re on the lookout for new talent.

About us
The Agile Release Train (department) Electrical Infrastructure offers the possibility to work with a mixture of electrical distribution system (EDS), electrical system design, and electrical attribute areas, for all vehicle lines within Volvo Cars.

In developing world class wiring harness designs, Our Product Owners are involved in Conceptual development including high level designs leading to the next generation of galvanic electrical structures. We integrate all electrical interfaces; balancing numerous requirements including Electrical performance, EMC, communication demands, Complexity and mechanical integration demands. The final delivery is documentation for our build to print suppliers.This requires close collaboration between designers and developers within the department, as well as across Volvo Cars’ R&D organization, thereby increasing your network.
