The responsibility of the team is to define and deliver the braking systems for future vehicle programs focusing on new electro-hydraulic or electro-mechanical brake actuation/modulation by-wire systems. As leader in innovation and safety, Volvo Cars is committed to continuously work finding technologies that can define new safety standards and braking systems is one of the key areas of development to set them. 

What you will do

As a Senior Mechatronics Engineer in the Braking system HW team, you will lead and contribute to the design and implementation of new braking systems. 

Your primary responsibilities include designing, testing, and implementing solutions that meet performance, safety, and regulatory requirements. You will define & balance requirements with all the internal and external stakeholders from the concept phase until the start of production. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineers, designers, and project managers, to conceptualize and deliver high-quality products within specified timelines.  

You will: 

• Lead efforts to implement new brake modulation systems, balancing performance, manufacturability, cost and requirements   
• Review technical specifications and /or detailed 2D and 3D models to ensure accuracy and compliance with design specifications   
• Analyze performance and durability, optimize designs and translate vehicle requirements into supplier specifications   
• Oversee prototyping and testing to validate designs against defined requirements   
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and suppliers to integrate components and resolve design issues   
• Prepare design documentation, including drawings, specifications, test plans and reports
