What’s in it for you?
To support the new strategy with an aggressive plan for Electrification, Volvo Cars are currently moving to in-house development of key software components of the traction battery management system. Traction batteries are complex systems containing hundreds of battery cells together with a thermal conditioning system. To operate the battery optimally, it is important to know internal parameters of the battery cells, such as temperature, charge level, and available energy.

What you’ll do
We are looking for the right person to join our Thermal Control Team. The vehicle’s supervisory drivetrain control unit for Electrical vehicles requires current and predictive information about the temperature and available pack energy.
The team develops advanced algorithms and support functions that monitor and protect the energy storage system in every conceivable way.

In this role as a SW developer, you will be a part of a highly agile and fast-paced team that delivers state of the art functionality.
The team is responsible of the implementation and quality assurance of the Thermal control component in the Traction Battery SW in the core computer.  For implementation of functionality, the base tools are Matlab/Simulink. There is a complete toolchain for building the complete SW packages that are tested in MIL, HIL and vehicle.

You and your skills
You have an education within Electronics, Computer Science or Mechatronics and at least 3 years’ experience from Simulation and Model-Based Design using MATLAB/ Simulink or C++.

Do you fit the profile?
You are highly committed to deliver results. A team player and with good coordination and communication skills. Pro-active and persistent in achieving goals and cross-functional improvement. You have a European Driver’s license and are fluent in English, spoken and written.
