Job description: Let's introduce ourselves Volvo Cars is growing and facing an exciting future in the electrification of vehicles. If you want to utilize state of the art methods to test and verify next generation electrified luxury cars, the role as our new Hardware in the loop (HIL) Development Engineer is the role for you to prosper!You will be part of an HIL Development team in the eART Software Factory within the Product Stream Electric Propulsion. You will be a member of a truly international team designing HIL test-environments for production software testing. Meaning the HIL models, you will create is crucial for testing electrical propulsion ECUs used in the Traction Battery, Charging and Electric Drive Systems. What you'll do Volvo Cars’ development centers around software (SW) and in our next generation vehicles, we take a giant leap into the future by launching a capable centralized compute platform, hosting most of the in-house developed SW. In these next generation vehicles, we are building a computer-in-the-car architecture.  The Propulsion & Energy unit is located at Gothenburg. The department, Propulsion & Energy Quality has an Enabling ART (Agile Release Train) within Propulsion & Energy, with the purpose to provide the infrastructure for SW development teams to integrate, test, and release SW in a continuous integration (CI) flow. The infrastructure includes development and maintenance of Hardware-in-Loop setups for development, verification, and validation of software products. We do this by building a robust and automated test framework and enabling SW test & release in a CI flow. We are looking for our future team member to develop, validate and maintain Model-Based Hardware in Loop setups that are intended for software functionality verification on embedded systems. The embedded test setups are built around the above-mentioned Propulsion & Energy architecture. These setups are a combination of simulated vehicle components and real hardware components to emulate a real vehicle with all the relevant dynamics. Our team are responsible for the development and maintenance of these embedded setups (hardware-in-loop), while making sure that these setups are capable to execute relevant test cases for platform, software, and function verification. These are state-of-the art test setups, critical for testing software before the final product is launched. Hence, you will be working in a fast paced, innovative environment, solving problems and challenges daily. We offer you to work in a small cross functional team, with high focus on quality and continuous improvements. Together with your colleagues, you will define, set up and configure these test environments supporting our current and future projects. You will be working with Software application and deployment on core computer and embedded ECUs, model all relevant components and signals to enable test automation, moving us towards Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment. Together with us, you will grow your competence and get a broad understanding of Volvo Cars Next Generation Vehicles and Software Platform along with domain growth in Propulsion & Energy. You will work closely with other groups at Volvo Cars, our suppliers and get the opportunity to create a wide network. Profile description: What you'll bring You will fit well in this role if you are a Modeling and Simulation Engineer focusing on model-based development on HIL test beds and an understanding of Software Verification cycles correlated to Model Based Development (SIL, MIL, HIL and VIL)We see that you have a B.Sc. or M.Sc. in SW Engineering, Electrical Engineering or equivalent with emphasis on SW development.
