Software Engineering Analyst -

Who are we?
Volvo Cars is a company on a mission; to bring traditional car manufacturing into a connected, sustainable and smart future.

HIL Engineer to Complete Electrical HIL
About us – your new teammates
We, at Complete HIL Development, are responsible for developing and maintaining electrical HIL rigs (Hardware in the Loop) at complete vehicle level. Our HILs are used for integration and verification of both HW and SW in early phases. The purpose of HIL is to stimulate the system and its components to believe they are in a real vehicle with all their dynamics. This is achieved by simulating environmental models that execute in real time on dSpace SCALEXIO simulators. We secure that the HIL rigs can be updated with new technology to support future projects such as electrification and autonomous vehicles.

What you’ll do
As a HIL engineer you will work in a cross-functional HIL team, with continuous improvements regarding test automation, modeling in Simulink and integration of HIL solutions. You get a broad understanding of Volvo Cars Vehicle systems and Electrical functions. You will also work with other groups at Volvo, our suppliers and create a wide network. The role will give you varied and challenging work as it involves both hardware and software. Together with your colleagues, you will further develop the HIL concept to enable test automation and “Continuous Integration”. Working in a highly effective team, you strive to continually develop yourself and the team; you contribute to developing new ways of working to be at the forefront of industry.
