Position Type:  Professional

Welcome to Electromobility at Volvo Group Trucks Technology! We are changing the automotive world, and we are now looking for you who want to be part of this change happening in our industry. We are responsible for the transition from conventional powertrains to electromobility and to secure a stepwise implementation in different segments/regions. Not only will you be working with the coolest technical challenges, but also be part of an optimistic atmosphere where joy, knowledge-sharing, and openness are key characteristics. By joining us, you’ll be part of a global and diverse team of highly skilled professionals who work with passion, trust each other, and embrace change to stay ahead. The importance of electromobility is growing every day and a key component within the electrified powertrain is the Energy Storage System (ESS). At our section, we are accountable for the lifecycle management of the ESS - from advanced engineering, throughout product development into the maintenance phase.

About the role

As an Experienced Engineer in the Battery Cell Simulation Team, you will collaborate with our talented engineers to develop and optimize sophisticated simulation models for battery cells. This includes modeling thermo-electrochemical performance, aging processes, thermal management and material properties. Implementation and integration of simulation models into the design and development processes of battery energy storage systems will also be included. Your contributions will be instrumental in creating robust and efficient systems. 

 

You will foster a collaborative environment by working closely with cross-functional teams. Together, we will ensure accurate representation of battery cell behavior and performance in system-level simulations. Embracing innovation and continuous improvement will be important and we encourage you to explore new simulation methodologies and techniques to enhance accuracy and efficiency. You will be able to validate simulation models and establish correlations with real-world data together with our experimental teams. In the role it is important to stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in battery cell technology, simulation techniques, and industry trends. Your curiosity will fuel our drive for excellence.

Requirements
