Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Volvo Personvagnar AB Full time
We are a company that aspires to inspire you to aim high. We offer an exciting career opportunity right in the heart of electrification at Volvo Cars.

The Power Electronics Department designs the brain and muscles of the Electric Vehicle propulsion system, the traction inverter hardware & software as well as power conversion and charger units.

As a researcher in our group, you will explore the multi-objective optimization of traction inverters using Power Electronics Building Blocks (PEBB), focusing on optimizing cost, efficiency, power density, and reliability of modern electric vehicle systems. You will develop and validate prototype traction inverters, creating comprehensive design optimization guidelines for practical applications.

We are looking for someone who combines strong analytical abilities with excellent organizational skills. The successful candidate will be proactive, enthusiastic about sharing knowledge, and capable of working both independently and as part of a team.

The ideal candidate should hold a Master's Degree in Electronics Engineering or other related electrical engineering majors, with a power electronics curriculum. A proven track record of designing high-power converters and conducting prototype testing in laboratory environments, as well as optimizing power electronics performance with a focus on enhancing key metrics such as cost efficiency and operational effectiveness, will also be beneficial. Additionally, familiarity with power electronics reliability principles and competence in schematic and PCB layout design software, such as Altium Designer, are advantageous.

You will be guided by one industrial supervisor and two academic supervisors throughout your PhD journey. This position represents an exciting opportunity to contribute to sustainable transportation technology while developing your expertise in both academic and industrial settings. You will be part of a dynamic team that pushes the boundaries of what is possible in the automobile industry.
