Can you engineer a brighter tomorrow?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.
Let's introduce ourselves
We are theBattery, Structural and thermal simulation team. In this team we work on battery development to improve the attributes of batteries in electric vehicles and hybrids.
This team is within the larger propulsion and energy department where from Innovation to Maintenance, we take care of the propulsion system of Volvo Cars. In the propulsion and energy department we are implementing cutting edge technology in our products and services, we develop complete HW and SW solutions for power electronics, traction batteries, thermal management, charging and electric driveline.
We aim at leading in sustainable e-propulsion and we restlessly contribute to carbon neutrality, circular economy and ethical business.
What you'll do
Role Description:
You will be involved in the latest battery development to improve the attributes of batteries in electric vehicles and hybrids. Your responsibilities as Thermal System Simulation Engineer will include development of prediction methods to analyze costumer usage and explore the boundaries of batteries from a thermal point of view. The development work is cross functional, meaning cooperation with colleagues within the battery ARTs and engineers across Volvo Cars.
Job Responsibilities:
Performsystem simulations to evaluate the impact on the battery and its attributes such as range, power performance and thermal aspects
Perform 3-D thermal simulations on all different components within the battery.
Provide recommendation of design changes to component designers for the product to meet component/system requirement
Develop and utilize 1-D and 3-D simulation methods for battery components and system
Initiate physical tests and analyze results for validation of the simulation methods
Create technical documentation of the methods and reports of the analyses
Present the work to team members and stakeholders outside the team.
Keep track of state-of-art of simulation technology and explore innovative ways to perform daily tasks
Coordinate internal and external work with other departments and suppliers
What you'll bring
Minimum a master’s degree in engineering, with focus on Thermodynamics/applied mechanics, applied physics or chemistry
A few years of work experience with thermal CFD simulations preferably in Star CCM+
Documented skills with Python, Java, and MATLAB/Simulink
And it’s a bonus if you have:
Experience in pre-processing tool like 3D CAD or ANSA is meritorious
Some years of work experience from thermal system simulations preferably in GT-SuiteLet's introduce ourselves
