Let's introduce ourselves

The department Traction Battery Software & ECU Platform is responsible for the development of major parts of hybrid and electric vehicle systems at Volvo Cars. We are currently deepening our in-house development of key software components of the traction battery management system. Traction batteries are complex systems containing hundreds of battery cells together with a thermal conditioning system which needs to be monitored and controlled. To operate the battery in a safe and optimal way, it is important to implement requirements into software in line with the design and architectural boundaries.

As a Software engineer in one of these teams, your work will be very varied as you will work with architects and attribution leaders to define and understand the right requirements, as well as implementation and testing of the in-house developed application software. This is why we are looking for a person who is outgoing and flexible, strives in complex setups and has seen Simulink / ADK and Carweaver before.
