About us

The High Voltage (HV) System Design team is part of propulsion strategy department. We work with the electrical propulsion system for the electric vehicles, and we are responsible for coordinating and balancing the interaction among HV components. The HV components include propulsion components such as traction batteries, electric machines, inverters and chargers. The development of the electric powertrains and the HV systems is very rapid, and we therefore handle new concepts for the HV system that requires systems engineering and coordination. The questions the team are working with includes electric power engineering and functionality. The HV system affects the car from software and EMI disturbances to the car’s mechanical design and driveline performance. This means that the team has a very central role and interacts with several other departments. Our team works cross-functionally within the electrical propulsion system in areas such as system design, electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

As a Product Owner (PO), you are responsible for the decision on the HV system development needs based on the HV system as a part of the vehicle and the driveline.
