Green Propulsion and Thermal Management are increasingly important areas for Volvo Cars to become leading in Electrification. Thermal Management have a key role in energy efficient propulsion by optimizing control towards customer functions and balancing attributes. The systems are getting more advanced and complex including different temperature levels, cooling down, heating up, transfer/transport and store heat for electric motors, battery, control modules etc. All this needs to be designed with sustainability in focus.

Thermal management is a part of the Energy department within the unit Propulsion & Energy. The section Thermal & Energy Management is divided into four groups, working closely together for a complete Thermal Management system delivery, both on HW and SW side. Our group, Thermal System & Function, have ownership of Thermal management from first architectural sketch, on HW and functional side, including concept design, to system development and ownership within our running programs. We are 12 persons with high ambitions, different ages, background and experience. We are characterized as an open and friendly group where everyone shares their knowledge with each other.

As an engineer working with Function Realisation and System Design you are a key person for total coordination of the electrical realization of Thermal Management functionality. You work in close cooperation with other technical areas, attributes and aspects. Within the department you will work in close cooperation with our Function owner, System architects, SW developers, CAE engineers and Component owners.

You will also:

• Lead the system design and implementation of Thermal Management functionality across departments
• Break down functional behavior to requirements for SW implementation, both within our department and to other technical areas if needed
• Lead the system design work with allocation of both software components, actuators and sensors
• Lead the System Safety work within the thermal area, ensuring functional safety fulfilment of the Thermal Management System. You will also participate / support in other work packages such as HARA, PRSP and similar work products lead by function / SW architect
• Participate in future development and improvement of our Thermal Management functionalities, documented in our Technical and Functional Roadmaps
• Participate in developing our Verification plan (AVN) on system- and complete vehicle level, regarding the function, both generic and per program

You have experience from functionality or software development best practices. To fit our diverse team, you need to be a team player that believes in inclusiveness. As a person you are structured, supportive and contribute with personal energy.

You would bring an University degree BSc or MSc within mechatronics, electrical or electronics as well as 5+ years working experience within relevant field. You bring experience from SW/ Function development and/or testing within automotive development is meritorious.

You bring experience within control technology, theoretically and from practical applications, are considered as an advantage within this role as well as from diagnostics concept development is considered as an advantage.

You are curious, structured, good analytical skills and a great technical interest. You have attention to details are important, but also having the ability to visualize the entire picture.

You are fluent in English (written and spoken) as well as carry a valid driving license (B).
