Arbetsbeskrivning

Who are we? Volvo Cars is a company on a mission; to bring traditional car manufacturing into a connected, sustainable and smart future. 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.

At Propulsion and Climate Labs, we support the sustainability mission by being part of the commitment to rethink sustainability in our operations, in our cars and in society. Our scope is to secure appropriate and efficient test facilities enabling testing, verification and validation of power electronics, electric motors, transmission, thermal and climate systems as well as energy efficiency and emissions. The group Lab Engineering consists of several different roles that support the section within HIL, data transfer, mechanical engineering etc. The group’s main delivery is to enable the testing team’s delivery capability by taking lead in emulation software as well as design bridging parts, dummy parts, and fixtures.

You will integrate Hardware-In-the-Loop systems, test cell control systems and test objects (electric motor-, battery-, charging-, climate-, power conversion/distribution-, combustion engine- and transmission controls) to enable smooth testing and the use of efficient testing methodology. You will participate in expanding HIL applications to new test environments, as well as expanding their scope in current applications. You will also get the chance to be involved in making architecturally sound software decisions aiding future development and maintenance of our total software suite. In this role you will have the opportunity to build a broad network within R&D and the Laboratory.

Required

• M.Sc. or B.Sc. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
• 7+ years of experience in relevant domain and tools
• Deep knowledge and experience in modeling using MATLAB/Simulink
• Deep understanding and knowledge of different dspace software tools (Configuration Desk, Control Desk, Automation Desk)
• Deep understanding and knowledge of vector software tools (Canoe/Canalyzer)
• Hands-on experience with dspace hardware (Scalexio/Microautobox/Labbox)
• Hands-on experience with vector hardware systems (VT System)
• Deep knowledge in integrating external measurement systems and automation systems with the HIL environment/system
• Good knowledge of Electric propulsion systems (emachines, inverters, batteries) and charging and power distribution systems (OBC, dc-dc converters... etc)
• Good knowledge and hands-on experience in troubleshooting various issues with HIL and the test system as a whole.
• Deep understanding of different network protocols (CAN/CANFD, LIN, Ethernet)

Meritorious

• Knowledge of Carmaker
• Good understanding of ETAS hardware and INCA
• Knowledge of version control systems like GIT/Gerrit
• Knowledge of different programming languages, especially Python
• Knowledge of Diagnostics and UDS
• Good experience with different industrial test automation systems like AVL Puma, PA Tools, Comtest

Personality is KeyYou are comfortable making your own decisions and appreciate the freedom to take required actions on own initiative. You will work in a small, agile team, which means being comfortable engaging across multiple technical domains and systems, and taking ownership beyond a narrowly defined scope. You have an analytical- and solution-based mindset, that empower your ability to draw technical conclusions out of complex systems. You improve structure and process as a natural part of your work. You are cooperative by nature and bring out the best in others. You possess strong communications skills, a genuine interest in technology and are driven by constantly learning and improving, both yourself and your scope.
