Our Challenge
Volvo Cars and the rest of the automotive industry are facing a big and exciting challenge regarding the focus shift from conventional vehicles and private owning, to electrification, digitalization, automation and mobility-as-a-service. Volvo Cars have decided to be one of the leaders within Energy Efficiency. To approach this, we need to develop our methods, IT solutions and virtual models. One key application in our process is our in-house complete vehicle 1D simulation tool, VSim.

VSim is a MATLAB/Simulink-based application for energy flows in the complete vehicle, that is fully in-house developed. The scrum team developing VSim has the responsibility for the architecture, code base, interfaces and model integration. The team collaborates closely with other virtual environments and model developing groups all around Volvo. Do you want to be a part of building up this?

In order to meet the future, we are now looking for a 1D CAE Engineer or Software developer for our Vehicle Energy Efficiency team.

You will belong to the department Sustainability Centre and be part of a highly focused development team for our simulation platform Vsim, contributing to both strategic and operational questions concerning one of Volvo’s simulation platforms.

Our purpose is to build high confidence, user-friendly interfaces and make the VSim platform useful for as many users as possible.  This is the first priority for 1D simulation for e.g. supporting our strategical teams with the development of methods to optimize vehicle energy efficiency and power. 

What You’ll Do 
You will make important contributions to our VSim platform and to the agile team. Your role will be to conduct among other things; object-oriented programming, model development, verification and validation of models, designing graphical Interfaces, and analysis and implementation of control algorithms for new technology.  Maybe most important, you will be one of the drivers for a Sustainable future for Volvo Cars. If you want to work in a stimulating environment with the topics of the future, this is an opportunity for you!
