Development Engineer Diagnostics - Complete Powertrain

Are you passionate about the self diagnostics technology and want to be part of the development of this technology at Volvo Cars? Join the diagnostic team at Complete Powertrain. At Research & 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 diagnostic teams in the department Complete Powertrain are involved early in the development of new powertrain concepts. It is a large challenge to develop solutions that both meet legal requirements and have maximum robustness not causing customer disturbances. The teams are responsible for development of system solutions, functional design and verification in full-scale test cars. We realise our ideas through the development of functionality software in a number of embedded control systems. The core of the system is the advanced diagnostic kernel. The kernels function is to log the fault and store the fault data according to legal requirements and to identify the root cause of failure which is necessary information for the repair shop. One of our challenging main ambitions is to ensure that the customer/driver get correct and nothing but necessary diagnostic information.

We are looking to strengthen our diagnostic team with a Development Engineer. If you are highly interested in self diagnostics we provide an interesting work place with competent employees and cutting edge technology. When necessary, 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. Are you ready for a challenge?
