Since 1927, we have been a brand known for our commitment to safety, creating innovative cars that make life less complicated for our consumers. In 2010, we decided to transform our business, resulting in a totally new generation of cars and technologies, as well as steady growth and record sales. Today, we’re expanding our global footprint in Europe, China and the US, and we’re on the lookout for new talent. We are constantly pushing our own skills and abilities to drive change in the automobile industry like never before. We are looking for innovative, committed people to join us in this endeavour and create safe, sustainable and connected cars. We believe in the power of people and will challenge and support you to reach your full potential. Join us and be part of Volvo Cars’ journey into the future.

We are committed to developing innovative, safe, and robust power electronics systems that enable the next generation of electrified products. Our Power Hardware & Mechanical Design team plays a central role in ensuring that hardware designs meet stringent functional safety requirements while delivering top‑tier performance and quality. We value technical excellence, collaboration, and a deep commitment to safety and engineering integrity. We are now seeking an experienced Electronics Design Engineer with strong expertise in power electronics development and ISO 26262 Part 5 implementation. With us you will have the opportunity to work on cutting‑edge power electronics for next‑generation electrified systems in a collaborative, highly skilled engineering environment, with strong opportunities for personal and professional development in functional safety and advanced power hardware design.

You will develop (time, technique, cost) new or improved product modules, electronic components, systems, electronic design aspects or functions, using computer-assisted design technology and/or leading development tasks internally or at supplier. Responsibilities includes ensuring test and verification of systems or components.

In this role, you will take ownership of hardware functional safety activities for our power hardware and mechanical design team, ensuring full alignment with safety standards and supporting the creation of robust, safe, and innovative power electronics solutions. As part of your responsibility you will:Lead hardware functional safety per ISO 26262 Part 5, from requirements and architecture to analyses (FMEDA, FTA, DFA) and safety mechanisms• Assess diagnostic coverage and safety metrics (SPFM, LFM, PMHF)• Maintain safety documentation and contribute to safety cases• Collaborate across system, software, and hardware teams for traceability• Support internal and external safety assessments and auditsLead and support integration of safety mechanisms into power hardware designs• Contribute to power electronics development, including gate drivers, measurement/protection circuits, and high‑voltage/high‑current modules• Review schematics, PCB designs, simulations, and components with focus on robustness, reliability, and safetyManage requirements and traceability using tools such as CarWeaver in line with ISO 26262• Ensure linkage between safety goals, hardware requirements, design, and test cases• Coach team members on functional safety and structured hardware development• Collaborate across electronics, mechanical, systems, software, and test teams

You bring a strong analytical and structured problem solving mindset, communicate clearly and confidently about complex safety topics, and work effectively in cross functional environments, with the ability to influence engineers and stakeholders in safety critical decisions. The ideal candidate holds an M.Sc. in Electronics, Power Electronics, or a related field, with 5–7 years of experience in power electronics or hardware design and 3–5 years hands on experience with ISO 26262 Part 5. You have strong expertise in hardware functional safety, including FMEDA, FTA, DFA, safety requirements development, and safety metrics, as well as practical experience using Medini Analyze and requirements management tools. You bring solid knowledge of power semiconductors (IGBT, SiC, MOSFET), high voltage and high current design principles, analog and mixed signal electronics, and safety related hardware verification and validation. Experience with ASPICE and V model engineering practices, along with knowledge of EMC/EMI, insulation coordination, thermal design, and high power PCB layout, is an advantage. Familiarity with simulation tools such as PSpice, LTSpice, or MATLAB/Simulink and experience mentoring or guiding engineers in functional safety topics are also beneficial. You bring a strong analytical and structured problem solving mindset, communicate clearly and confidently about complex safety topics, and work effectively in cross functional environments, with the ability to influence engineers and stakeholders in safety critical decisions.
