Shaping tomorrow's technology
At Vehicle Technology, we are passionate about shaping tomorrow’s technology to create excellent sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions to make the world a better place for future generations. 

This is us, your new colleagues:
Thermal Management Sub-Stream is a department within Vehicle Technology responsible for developing, delivering, and maintaining optimized Cab Climate and Thermal Supply systems for all types of propulsion installations to all truck brands within the Volvo Group. We are responsible for leading the work with strategies and advanced engineering globally. We are located in Gothenburg, Bangalore and Curitiba and we have close cooperation with the engineering sites located in Greensboro and Lyon. We understand the final customer needs and apply our knowledge to develop technical concepts and solutions that satisfy customer and business needs. The work is based on innovation, shared technology, common architecture and brand uniqueness. We want to make a difference by being there for our customers and by providing uptime and reliable products.

Thermal Management Data and Simulation group in Gothenburg is part of “Thermal Management Sub-stream”, Vehicle Technology. Our group consists of passionate, enthusiastic engineers & simulation engineers responsible to design, simulate, develop & deliver the product and advance-engineering topics in Thermal Management. Now we are looking for a 1D Simulation Engineer to take global responsibilities and participate in company-wide Thermal Management evolution to align technology needs of all Volvo truck brands.

What you will do

As a Simulation Engineer - Thermal Management, you will be responsible for leading and conducting predictive 1D simulations in the thermal management area using current and developing new methods to improve the accuracy of virtual simulations regarding physical test results.

* You would closely interact with Thermal management system architects to analyze various system architecture proposals and support in defining/setting the system with inclusion of performance data from project engineers & component owners.
* Expected to develop static and dynamic system models with continual improvement in simulation accuracy with reference to 3D CFD & physical test results with close collaboration with our system architects, 3D simulation engineers, component owners and test engineers.
* Support system architects to define/set the component level performance requirements in early phase of projects and enable our colleagues to share recommendation while selecting the concept of components.
* Support system architects in analyzing the system performance at various stages of project with various inputs and contribute to finalizing an efficient thermal system.
* Support system responsible and architects in definition of test method and share inputs in finalizing the list of parameters to record in physical test by test engineers that could help to maximize the accuracy of simulation with test result correlation.
* Connect controllers’ development (MiL, SiL, HiL) to the simulations
* Take full responsibility and independently deliver the planned tasks within our Thermal Management Simulation.
* Develop the strategy to integrate Data and machine learning in the models.

Who are you?

To be successful in this role, we believe that you are a team player, high on energy, and are interested in working with global sites. You have an innovative and creative mindset to recommend engineering solutions and the willingness to learn and develop your own skills and abilities. In addition to this, you hold the below experience:

* Hands on experience of GT-Suite 1D simulation software specially in thermal management applications
* Hands on experience with MATLAB Simulink to analyze dynamic thermal systems
* Advanced knowledge of heat transfer, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics
* Knowledge of the product development life cycle and change management activities for maintenance are required for this role
* Leading tasks independently, good planning and monitoring skills
* Experience in 3D CFD, Hotspot simulations is a merit
* Experience in controller development (MiL, SiL, HiL) is a merit
* Experience in energy management calculations in thermal systems is a merit
* Experience in PYTHON and its integration to software is a merit
* Experience in future technologies (e-MOB, Fuel Cell, automation) in 1D/3D simulations is a plus
* Working experience in testing of vehicle thermal management area is a plus
* Good in compiling and presenting information verbally and in writing (English)
