Our Commitment

At the Volvo Group, we believe that diverse perspectives, experiences, and talents drive innovation and strengthen our ability to create prosperity through transport solutions. We are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace built on equal opportunities for everyone.

This is an affirmative opportunity for people with disabilities, reinforcing our commitment to building increasingly diverse and inclusive teams.

Who we are:

 Powertrain Technology (Volvo Trucks Technology & Industrial) develops and maintains engines, drivelines, and exhaust after-treatment systems, focusing on quality, cost, sustainability, and regulatory compliance, built on common architecture and shared technology.

Powertrain Technology Brazil leads product development for heavy-duty and medium-duty engines for South America and other markets up to Euro V emission legislation, while also supporting the global Powertrain Technology organization on delegated responsibilities.

Within it, the Combustion HW team develops components across three sub-systems:

• FIE (injectors, fuel filters, common rails, fuel lines, fuel pumps)
• Air & Gas (exhaust brakes, turbochargers, EGR valves, mixing chambers, air valve units)
• Sensors & Actuators (pressure sensors, fuel quality sensors, pre-heater relays)

The team works under agile principles, collaborating closely with engineering centers in Sweden, France, India, and the U.S., as well as internal functions such as project management, verification and testing, quality, purchasing, and manufacturing.  

What you will do

 As a Combustion HW Associate Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for the development and maintenance of heavy duty of both Fuel Injection Equipment (FIE) and Air & Gas components.
