Do you fit the profile?
You need to have a university degree in engineering, or equivalent working experience, and long experience from all aspects of automotive wire harness development: design, verification, production, manufacturing, after-market, and quality, current and future. You have a good knowledge about EDS production suppliers and related processes. You have worked within EDS product development for several years and have a wide range of knowledge of wire harness materials and properties as well as distribution boxes, connectors, and fuses. Good understanding about electrical system design and electrical schematics, 2D drawings and 3D models is also needed to be successful in this role. You need to be fluent in English, written and spoken. As the electrical distribution system is present in all parts of a car, you need to have a good complete vehicle knowledge. 
As a person you should be positive, curious, and pragmatic. You approach problem solving in an analytical and data driven way. As you will interact with people from all parts of our organisation, it is important to be a communicative team player, interested in building relations and trust, but also to maintain a high level of integrity when collaborating with suppliers and partners, always prioritising fulfilment of Volvo Cars’ high quality standards. Within Electrical Infrastructure, you will be the go-to person for our developers and product owners, providing advice and coaching. You therefore need to be service minded, and eager to share your knowledge and experience to a wide range of people with varying experience in a continuously changing context. Experience from product documentation at Volvo Cars in KDP and Teamcenter is meritorious.
