Can you engineer a brighter tomorrow?  

Reality has made it clear that the actions we take in the next few years will significantly impact on our future. Embracing the need for change, Volvo Cars is committed to spearheading the charge in automotive electrification. In this role, you’ll play a crucial part in an exciting transformation journey that will change how the world views mobility. Are you ready for a new opportunity?  

What you'll do 
 

In this role you will work closely with our lead architects within Power Supply and be a vital support to the team by contributing with analytical work, CAE results and knowledge in all ongoing programs as well as within Advanced Engineering and concept studies. As a CAE Engineer you will participate in studies and evaluation of different Low voltage architectures including power supply and distribution to mechatronic rim nodes and different high to low conversion system solutions. You will contribute to validating technology assumptions, balancing attributes such as peak power capacity, efficiency and availability and to analyze fault scenarios and support in fault management.

In addition to the above you will govern and administrate all our CAE models and scripts; you will work with version control in repositories and be responsible for the latest releases. You will also govern the model parameter indata collection process and involve all relevant stakeholders such as the Electrical Infrastructure department, module owners, component owners, test engineers and Complete Base Tech departments. You will take the lead for documentation of all CAE results and govern the data collection.

Who you are 

You have a solid background with more than 5 years of experience in the development of CAE toolchains and large-scale development organizations. You are a self- and data-driven and result oriented person. A team player who empowers others and creates energy.

·      At least 5 years of relevant work experience as CAE engineer within the electrical system domain

·      CAE experience with simulation tools such as Matlab, Simulink and Simscape

·      Electrical system circuit modelling for efficiency and energy/power availability simulations

·      Simulation tool chain management and development 

·      Fundamental knowledge of the electrical system in an EV including Low voltage system, Power conversion system and HV system

·      Ability to clearly express the connections between larger business goals and small backlog items

It's meritorious to have experience from working with:

·      CAE experience with simulations tools such as PLECS, LT-Spice, Q-spice and / or P-spice

·      Power supply system design experience

·      Power conversion system design experience

·      HV system design experience

·      Electrical energy management experience

·      Vehicle mode management and resource management experience
