Northvolt is looking for a Test Engineer to join the Northvolt Automotive Module and Vehicle Integration team. As a part of our endeavour to make excellent products, we need people like you to push our batteries to the limit. Break them, crush them, shake them, flood them, drop them, put them on fire…, your imagination – and the validation plan – are the limits.

Our design team spends countless hours painstakingly designing battery modules to the smallest detail. Basically, you will have the fun role to try and prove them wrong. Make them fail and they will thank you, although possibly not immediately. If as a kid, you regularly broke your toys by exceeding “normal use conditions”, or if your favourite YouTube channel is “Will it break/blend/melt/burn…”, then this role might be the one for you.

Your mission will first be to create test cases for our battery design and production validations along with our other engineering groups. You may then proceed to the fun part on our designated products, either in-house or at 3rd party facilities (populated with people just like you), before proceeding to reporting, analysis and improvement proposals.

A word of caution, safety is paramount at Northvolt. You will need a strong safety awareness to keep the damage limited to the tested product.

So, do you have what it takes to become part of our team and build up the test function? What defines us at Northvolt is our boldness, passion and excellence – if you’re someone that happens to apply these values at work every day, then this job might be for you.

Key responsibilities include but are not limited to:

· Analysis, verification & validation work at battery system, component and material level.

· Creation of verification & validation methods & specifications
· Plan, arrange, and coordinate Li-ion battery testing on cell, module and full system level

· Set up and develop Northvolt battery test environment, both at external test partners and our in-house R&D facility

· Develop the technology roadmap for a battery testing platform within the team

· Propose design improvements to ensure our products and your pleasure lasts longer next time

The person we are looking for is self-driven, strongly goal oriented, curious and eager to learn. You will get the chance to have a real impact on our success story to change the future of energy and see actual results of your work throughout Europe (and beyond!).

The Test Engineer is a vital member of the Automotive module and Vehicle Integration team and key to Northvolt's mission to enable the future of energy. The position is situated in Västerås with some travels to be expected.

Apply with CV and cover letter in English or your complete LinkedIn profile. A book of your most beautiful thermal runaway tests is also accepted.

Full time employment, fixed salary.
