Covering the Safety and Durability attributes, we bravely lead the way for safety in support of the company’s strategic direction: Freedom to move in a Personal, Sustainable and Safe way.

The Durability Trim & Closure team supply the Volvo organization with virtual and mechanical test analysis focusing on strength, fatigue life, homologation and functional testing. We work on a system and component level with requirements derived from customer usage of our cars. We provide our knowledge to our car programs through targets and test methods to support analysis needed to help drive the engineering of world leading products. The work is performed in close collaboration with team members, lab technicians and engineers from the design departments.

What you'll do

As a Durability Design Engineering Analyst, you will support the design and release process with evaluations and recommendations using analytical tool set based on tests, CAE and experience. You will also help develop our requirements, guide the target setting process and guide product development. You will contribute to the product development with experience from testing, simulations and attribute engineering. Working with continuous improvement within operational and method development is also part of your deliveries.

Responsibilities:

• Carry out a specified range of complex tests to verify that specifications are met and to reject nonconforming material or articles
• Plan and implement feasibility testing of proposed engineering solutions to provide feedback and contribute to validation of the design
• Provide technical support for engineering works in accordance with our internal standards and regulatory requirements
• Support others by carrying out a range of product development and engineering activities, such as analyzing customer usage and interpreting data from tests and CAE
• Use the knowledge management system to access specific information related to our design and attribute specifications

What you'll bring

You have a passion for mechanics and analysis, hold a MSc in engineering, mechanics, strength, fatigue, dynamics, or similar. Using your competence, you exploit new and advancing technology to create engineering outcomes and provide technical guidance.

You have experience in mechanical testing and skill in CAE analysis in the strength and endurance domain with capability to apply appropriate method, tools, processes and software to execute engineering design and development activities.

You are a self-driven and result oriented team player that plans and prioritize work to meet commitments with organizational goals and in this you ensure ownership holding yourself and others accountable to meet the commitments.
