Who we are


Our team, Fuel Cell Propulsion Testing Team, is a part of Powertrain Strategic Development within the Volvo Group. We are responsible for testing and verification of Fuel Cell Systems as well as Fuel Cell Propulsion Systems, performing tests in vehicle, system, stack and cell level, engaged in prototype fuel cell vehicle builds, commissioning of fuel cell propulsion system and part of the development of forefront Fuel Cell technologies.
The team consists of experienced engineers that are responsible for quality assured verification from test to reporting to secure that tested fuel cell propulsion systems is fulfilling set requirements.
We are now looking for a Test Engineer with focus on performing Fuel Cell Propulsion System testing, verification and commissioning in vehicle as well as test bench to evaluate the performance of the Fuel Cell system for Heavy Duty vehicle applications and provide input to the Fuel Cell System team, software team or other concerned component owners within Volvo and our fuel cell system supplier cellcentric.


This is the position


As a Fuel Cell Propulsion System Test Engineer you will perform complex test campaigns with multiple interfaces both in vehicle and in test bench. You will be highly involved in overseeing, troubleshooting, and resolving issues of Fuel Cell Systems. Analyzing test data, summarizing, and communicating results from testing will also be an important part of your role.
In close collaboration with simulation, control, and system engineers, you will also analyze and identify cause-effect relationships between design and performance to specify, balance and verify system requirements.
Another part of the role is to develop innovative experimental methods for improving the efficiency of the test campaigns and the accuracy of the experimental data.


This is you


To be successful in this role and enjoy your work we believe that you are self-driven person with genuine technical interest in running and evaluating tests and finding novel experimental methods.
You are proactive, accurate and persistent to identify the root causes to problems in the lab and to find suitable solutions.
