Can you engineer a brighter tomorrow?
It’s crystal clear: the actions we take in the next few years will significantly impact our future. At Volvo Cars, we embrace change. We’re committed to transforming the automotive industry and leading in electrification. For this, we’re seeking out more creative minds to shape that future. Don’t miss this opportunity to create your tomorrow.
Volvo Cars is committed to going fully electric by 2030 and mastering the battery is a key for us to success. We at department Propulsion & Energy are now investing heavily in developing our analysis operations for traction batteries in terms of simulations and through developing our new battery labs. The analyzes of traction batteries grow fast and challenge both Volvo Cars, battery suppliers and our OEM competitors. Do you want to contribute?
Take the chance to be part of a team where everyone is included and collaborates well. We will challenge you and expect you to do the same to bring out the best from each one of us!
What you’ll do
As Battery Cell Simulation Engineer, you will be responsible of developing analytical models intended for performance and life estimation simulations of battery cells. The models span a wide range of complexity, from models based on first hand physical principles to empirical models such as equivalent circuit representations. Much of the development rely on input from cell testing and an important part of the work is therefore to define test needs and test methods as well as development of methods to extract and calibrate model parameters.
Your work will be used as input by other teams for design of HW components and development of SW functionality in electric and hybrid vehicle projects. As such you will have a close collaboration with colleagues within the department Propulsion & Energy and other engineers within Volvo Cars. The job also involves a close collaboration with test teams and suppliers of cells and modules.
You will mainly use Python, but also tools like MATLAB/Simulink, Comsol and similar.
What you'll bring
We believe you have a Master of Science degree in chemical engineering, applied physics, mathematics or similar to qualify. You will also need a genuine curiosity for the subject matter as well as a huge interest in modeling and programming. Further, you have excellent analytical and communication skills.
The ideal candidate for the position has a strong background in analytical work, preferably by modeling components or system behaviors with Python. Knowledge within the battery area is also considered as a valuable competence.
Want to know more? We hope so
We’d love to receive and review your application by no later than 4th of July.
