What’s in it for you?
Welcome to explore the world of Volvo Cars by doing your summer internship with us! As a summer intern in our organization, you are supported by a supervisor who follows you during your project. All summer interns are arranged in business-critical areas and therefore you will be able to contribute to our company purpose – providing freedom to move in a safe, sustainable and personal way – from day one!

Volvo Cars has a proud heritage when it comes to safety. Our group has the responsibility to develop all airbags and steering wheels to our new cars which, over the years, has contributed a great deal to this. We are now looking for two summer interns who might be given the possibility to continue to build on this summer internship and do the master thesis during spring 2024. 

What you will do
In this summer internship you investigate how to engineer a front seat rigg that will be used for static testing of different airbags located in the seat.

Competence and experience are important, but personality and potential are key
We are looking for you who are currently studying for a Master of science in Engineering, preferably in Automotive Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or equal.

You have no problems working independently and prefer to plan your own work. You are also a great team player.

You should be comfortable creating 3D-models in CATIA V5.

This is a summer internship for two persons to do together as you need to have a fellow student to do this with. This summer internship might lead to the possibility to continue and do your master thesis during spring 2024.
