Let's introduce ourselves

Volvo Cars is a leading global automotive company dedicated to creating a sustainable future.

Your responsibilities will include:

Conceptual Design: Define design prerequisites for mechanical components supporting vehicle harnesses (channels, grommets, brackets, etc.); develop concepts for the electrical distribution system components, ensuring fulfilment of all requirements on sustainability, packaging, mechanical properties, etc.

Detailed Design: Create detailed designs and specifications for the components, considering factors such as manufacturing processes, assembly requirements.

Prototyping and Testing: Conduct prototyping testing in rig environment; assist prototyping builds, conducting assessments to validate designs and identify areas for improvement.

Documentation: Maintain comprehensive documentation throughout the design and development process, ensuring clear communication and transfer of knowledge to relevant stakeholders.

Innovation: Stay abreast of industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices to contribute to continuous improvement and innovation within the electrical distribution system domain.

You own a bachelor’s or master’s degree in mechanical engineering or similar.

You have proven experience (5+ years) in design of mechanical components for electrical distribution systems, preferably within the automotive industry. You are familiar with manufacturing processes and quality standards on metallic, rubber and plastic components.

You are proficient in CAD software (e.g., CATIA) and simulation tools (e.g., Industrial Path Solutions Cable simulations, mold flow simulations, finite elements solvers for structural analyses).

You have strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail and act quickly on changes.

You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, manufacturing engineers, purchasers, and suppliers, to ensure seamless integration of electrical distribution components into vehicle. Therefore, effective communication and collaboration skills are essential for this role.

To comply with material deliveries to the different vehicle programs, it is essential that you understand project plans, gates, and milestones according to Volvo Product Development System and work according to Volvo’s procedures, standards, and requirements.
