We shape the world we want to live in
Volvo Energy is our newest business area with the overarching purpose of accelerating electrification and together driving circularity for a better tomorrow. With an agile approach and a can-do mindset, we actively work to ensure the acceleration of the electrification transformation every day in all that we do. As the Volvo Group, we are driving circularity in our industry forward in these important areas.
Being part of Battery Optimization and Monitoring - Technology
Battery Optimization and Monitoring – Technology is a function within Volvo Energy that works with second life applications of vehicle battery packs, monitoring and data analytics, optimization of remaining useful life, battery safety and new offerings for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
Working in very close cooperation with our colleagues from Volvo Group and especially Group Trucks Technology, we create new business offer opportunities as well as value propositions.
What are we looking for in this specific role?
We're on the lookout for a skilled engineer to take the helm in designing and developing electrical and functional topologies for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). In this role, you'll be pivotal in crafting safety functions, devising control strategies, and ensuring compliance with industry standards. Your strong technical prowess in system design, simulation, and risk analysis, coupled with your ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, will be key in driving our BESS projects forward. If you're passionate about making a tangible impact in the realm of energy storage, we'd love to have you join our team
Your starting point will be to:
• Develop end to end functional specifications and requirements on system level in line with the overall requirements for BESS and ingoing components.
• Secure and create safety functions such as fault detection and emergency shutdown systems.
• Implement and design control algorithms to manage energy storage charging and discharging and support in developing the control logic for BESS systems.
• Integrate controls software with hardware such as power conversion systems, inverters, and other electrical components.
• Support in the integration of various components such as battery packs, power conversion systems and controls systems.
• Create functional safety and technical safety concepts for high-voltage battery preconditioning and low-voltage supply systems.
• Create and maintain detailed technical documentation necessary for the development, validation, and certification of BESS products.
Making it a success for yourself and Volvo Energy
Welcome to a global team unified by an important mission, great ideas, fun, diversity, and inclusion. Our colleagues are - and will always be - the most important part of the story, as each colleague truly matters and plays an essential role in our journey.
To succeed, we believe you are innovative, pragmatic, curious and creative with a positive spirit. Being recognized in your specialties, you are a forward-looking person, and you see opportunities when others see risks. Being appreciated by your peers, you enjoy connecting with a broad network, building win-win approaches, and developing relationships.
You have a strong ability to move from words to action in an organized and structured way. You are down-to-earth and are equally at home working hands-on as you are leading strategic discussions.
Consequently, whilst demands are high, there is also plenty of opportunities to gain experience and grow - as a professional and as a person. We will be a small team and therefore look for colleagues that thoroughly enjoy this intrapreneurial challenge, can hit the ground running and lead with passion, perform with purpose and transform with vision.
Moreover, it will be essential you have a strong ability to form trustful relationships to effectively collaborate with partners - inside and outside of the Volvo Group – in a cross-functional manner.
If our entrepreneurial spirit, adaptability, and customer-focused mindset light your inner fire, we might be a great match
