This is us, your new colleagues

Transmission Simulation and System Design is a group with 19 engineers, within the Driveline department, Group Trucks Technology. The Swedish organization has worldwide product platform responsibility for Heavy-Duty Powertrains, electric and conventional, and of the installation in European Volvo products. We participate in all stages of the product cycle – from advanced engineering to industrial development and maintenance.
Our group is responsible for transmission analyses within many different areas: FEA, 1D flow, 1D mechanical, CFD, as well as system layout and gear design. Within the FEA area we perform simulations to optimize durability, weight, and noise/vibration to support our HW design teams and to bring our customers world-class products.
At driveline you will be working at a department that in addition to hardware design also includes verification and workshop, NVH testing including noise chamber, and software design. We work together with both the vehicle assembly plants as well as our own gearbox factories. It gives a unique opportunity to work with all aspects of the world renowned I-shift gearbox and to be part of shaping our future.

Role Description

As a Simulation Engineer, you will plan, lead and perform strength and durability simulations of our driveline systems and components. You will be involved in the design and analysis of new concepts and technologies. You will support project leaders and design engineers in all project phases with technical solutions.
You will drive the method and tool development in your field and will initiate and write Simulation Instructions. It is also important for you to be in close contact with our physical verification team to correlate models. Your experience will also provide important input to Product and System Roadmaps. In your role you will train and mentor less experienced colleagues.

Who are you?

To be successful in your new role we believe you have the following skills/experience:

* Master of Science or higher in Mechanical Engineering with focus on Applied Mechanics or equivalent
* Previous experience of transmission analysis from product development or research
* More than 5 years of work experience within strength and durability, preferably in the tools Abaqus, ANSA, SABR/ROMAX, DesignLife, Matlab and Python
* Programming competence is a strong merit
* Structured and analytical, with good communication skills
* Fluent in English, written and spoken
* C/CE driving license is seen as a merit

We think that you have a genuine technical interest, especially in mechanical systems. You need to be able to work both independently and in cross functional teams. You need to have the ability to explain your results and conclusions in a structured and pedagogical way to your colleagues and stakeholders. As an experienced CAE engineer, you are a natural go-to person.
