hela Sverige This is us, your new colleagues at Powertrain Engineering - Electromobility
We belong to the department of Electromobility, which is part of the Powertrain Engineering organization within Volvo Group Trucks Technology. We design and develop complete electric propulsion systems and components, such as energy storage, motor drives and charging systems with special focus on technology creation for various Volvo Group products. Our team is agile, truly customer oriented, working closely together to drive the development of new technologies.
A key component within the electrified powertrain is the Energy Storage System (ESS). At our section, we are accountable for the lifecycle management of the ESS, from advanced engineering and research to product development, maintenance, second life, and recycling.
Main Role and Responsibilities
Batteries have complex nonlinear dynamics and need a Battery Management System (BMS) with advanced estimation and control algorithms to ensure their optimal performance and long lifetime. There is still room for optimization to reduce the total cost of ownership. Further, additional intelligence in BMS is needed to enable efficient and cost-effective applications of second-life batteries with guaranteed performance. Challenges to solve are here mainly related to battery classification, robust health prognosis, and optimal management/control. This PhD project will address these challenges by proposing novel estimation/control algorithms, models, and methods. Your major responsibility is to pursue research in line with the project, publish and present scientific articles, support the Volvo Group patent strategy, and take part in discussions for knowledge sharing. You will continuously contribute to our future technologies and products by bridging the existing knowledge gaps through your novel ideas and research results.
This exciting research project will be carried out in close collaboration with the Systems and Control division at Chalmers University of Technology. The division has a well-established research group with special focus on Electromobility and BMS. The position is at Volvo and you will be working in close cooperation with researchers, battery experts, and developers along with scientific supervision both at Volvo and Chalmers.
Do you find it exciting and you believe this perfectly matches your future ambitions and passion? Please, send your application including the following mandatory documents:
Full CV including your academic background, professional experiences, main technical competences/skills, and two references with contact information
Cover Letter (1-2 pages) including your short background, previous relevant R&D experience, research interests, motivation for this Industrial PhD position, and future professional goals
Attested copies of transcript of grades for both bachelor and master courses
Abstracts of your bachelor and/or master thesis with web links to full text
Additional documents if available:
Two publications or project technical reports
Special certificates (like TOEFL, IELTS, etc)
Letter of Recommendations
If you have any questions regarding this research project and the position, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be glad to give you more information.
