Our focus on Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity allows each of us the opportunity to bring our full authentic self to work and thrive by providing a safe and supportive environment, free of harassment and discrimination. We are committed to removing the barriers to entry, which is why we ask that even if you feel you may not meet every qualification on the job description, please apply and let us decide.
Volvo has initiated a Volvo Internal Combustion Engine scholarship to secure education of researchers to aid the transition of Volvo AB to 100% fossil free, 100% safe, and 100% productivity. The scholarship intended for the period 2024-2029 is dedicated to a project related to hydrogen internal combustion engines.
Sustainability including climate change are the challenges of our generation. Our contribution is to offer leading transport and infrastructure solutions enabling societies to prosper in a sustainable way. Decarbonized-fuels, -energy carriers, and -electrification are key enablers for carbon neutral road transport. Using hydrogen as a carrier of green electricity to power electric trucks, or renewable fuel engines, is one important part of the solution and a complement to battery electric vehicles.
We are highly skilled engineers acting in an exciting global environment which provides opportunities to develop both professionally and personally. We want to unleash the potential of technology to shape the world we live in. Do you want to join us on this journey?
THIS IS US, YOUR NEW COLLEAGUES
Our team, the ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) System Group is a multi-disciplinary focused team that includes design, concept architect, combustion system, 1D/3D simulations, EATS, Controls, testing and verification. We are 12 engaged people that thrive on finding the best solutions, working together with other colleagues from different parts of Volvo organization. One of our current missions is to investigate and develop a transport solution powered an internal combustion engine operated on 100% renewable hydrogen, as a complement to battery electric, fuel cells and other renewable fuels.
As an industrial PhD student, you will spend 20% of your time at Volvo and 80% at the Chalmers University of Technology. We will lodge your enrollment as a PhD student at the research school of applied thermodynamics at Chalmers University of Technology, where you will have your main supervisor at the division of Energy Conversion and Propulsion Systems. A dedicated second supervisor will be allocated to you from our own ICE system team.
WHO ARE YOU?
You are a person who is eager to learn and with an interest to obtain a PhD academic exam, with the considerable effort that that will take. A positive mindset and "we-can-do-it attitude" characterizes your personal profile. You enjoy cooperating in a team and you have good communication and collaboration skills, both also with an ability to work independently with your research. You love to write about and explain your results, reflect, and be creative in your approach to find solid conclusions. You are skilled in analytical tools, such as e.g. Matlab/Simulink/Phyton, CFD etc, with a basic education in thermodynamics and energy conversion technologies, and preferable some experience from the vehicle industry. With your analytical side and your sense of details you will discover the unknown and help us in refining our concepts for heavy duty internal combustion engine applications.
Other requirements that are mandatory for this role:
* MSc degree in automotive engineering
* Internal combustion engine, thermodynamic, fluid-dynamic knowledge/courses
Fluent in English
Other requirements that could be beneficial: * Industrial experience, preferably of heavy-duty application
* Interest in chemical kinetics
* Fluent in German
Imagine yourself working in an environment focused and fully energized to develop H2 solutions for the future transportation. We trust the individual and act as a team, have fun at work, stay close to the product and provide opportunities to grow.
WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER
We are looking for a new colleague that will close the knowledge gap of mechanisms related to mixing and pre-mixed hydrogen combustion of a direct injected hydrogen internal combustion engine system. Are you the one? Your employment is at Volvo Technology AB while you goal will be to obtain a PhD degree on hydrogen internal combustion engines within 4.5 years whereafter your employment is expected to continue at Volvo. Your study will be fully financed by Volvo and includes extra funding for supervision and experiments at the university. The focus of your PhD project is a pre-mixed direct injected hydrogen internal combustion engine (lpdiH2E).
The research questions we are interested in are:
* What are the mechanisms for pre-ignition of an lpdiH2E?
* How can pre-ignition of an lpdiH2E be mitigated?
* What are the knocking mechanisms in an lpdiH2E?
* What are the knocking boundaries of an lpdiH2E as a function of dilution ratio?
* How can engine knock of lpdiH2E be mitigated?
* How can thermal efficiency of an lpdiH2E be improved?
* How can power density of an lpdiH2E be improved?
The intension is to use a combination of simulation and experimental studies leading to knowledge build-up and an improved engine design.
We hope to see you as part of our team! Welcome with your application today!
