System Engineer (Fuel & EVAP OBD Monitoring)

At Research and Development you will be a key contributor to the next generation outstanding luxury cars from Volvo. Together with other engineers around the world, you and your team will create innovative human-centric car technology that makes life less complicated and more enjoyable for people. Are you interested in design and connected car technology? Do you share our passion for people, the environment and our urge to create a superior driving experience? Research and Development is the place for you to prosper.

The OBD (On Board Diagnostics) teams in the department Complete Powertrain are involved early in the development of new powertrain concepts. It is a large challenge to develop solutions which both meet legal OBD requirements and have maximum robustness not causing customer disturbances. The teams are responsible for development of system solutions, functional design, calibration and verification in full-scale test cars. We realise our ideas through the development of monitors/ functionality software in a number of embedded control systems. During calibration phase, we arrange expeditions to various places in the world to test our hypotheses in different environments e.g. warm/cold climate combined with altitudes from sea level to high altitude roads in the Alps.

The Diagnostic group is responsible for functional development and calibration of OBD monitors within the areas of air charge-, fuel-, thermal- and hybrid vehicle cooling system. You will work in one of the team of 5-7 people.

We are looking to strengthen our team with an additional Team Leader & System Responsible Engineer for Fuel & EVAP OBD systems.
