What´s in it for you?
Volvo Cars has the ambition to sell 1,000,000 electrified cars by 2025, and with this ambitious goal we work intensely with development and validation of the technical solutions in Hybrid- and Electric vehicles. Here is a chance to be part of that journey.

We are a growing team of 20 members working with analysis and validation of the charging communication, the on-board charger (OBC) and the DC/DC converters. We are now looking for an addition to our team of OBC and DC/DC testers, and specifically we wish to strengthen the team in Power conversion, which includers the DCDC-systems and the AC-charging systems. The work environment is open and energetic, and we continuously strive for improvement and welcome new and creative ideas. The team composition is multi-cultural, and English is therefore more common than Swedish, and the varying background and experience of the members contributes to a welcoming and respectful openness to all new members. 

What you´ll do
The work will cover most aspects of tests and analysis of the charging system and DC/DC, starting in reading standards and internal requirements and ending in vehicle validation of entire functions in the field. Collecting and analysing data from many sources in the vehicles is a major part of the work. System testing is done by both manual test methods and with automated tests, and we participate in all steps from writing and performing test methods. We work both in HIL simulators and in vehicles on test tracks and on expeditions. Swedish driving license, and a willingness to travel are therefore required.

Do you fit the profile?
You are inspired by the opportunity to be part the electrification journey. You are curious and motivated by finding both technical problems and technical solutions to challenges. You are familiar with measurement techniques used to analyse both analogue and digital systems. You have training in AC-charging according to SAE J1772, IEC62196 and GB/T 20234 and experience from testing these in the field and you are well acquainted with tools such as Canalyzer, INCA, as well as Python coding for data analysis. Your background includes experience of SW programming in C++, as well as HIL testing and test automation.
