Electromobility
Welcome to Electromobility at Volvo Group Trucks Technology! We are changing the automotive world, and we are now looking for you who want to be part of this change happening in our industry. We are responsible for the transition from conventional powertrains to electromobility and to secure stepwise implementation in different segments/regions. Not only will you be working with the coolest technical challenges but also be part of an optimistic atmosphere where joy, knowledge-sharing, and openness are key characteristics. By doing your Master Thesis with us, you’ll be part of a global and diverse team of highly skilled professionals who work with passion, trust each other, and embrace change to stay ahead. 

The importance of electromobility is expanding rapidly, with the Energy Storage System (ESS) being a pivotal element of the electrified powertrain. We are the Energy Storage Systems (ESS) Lab & Data group within the Electromobility Complete Physical & Virtual Verification & Validation organization, tasked with overseeing the ESS lab and verification data infrastructure, including automation of test and data management processes.

We believe that you need to have the following to complete this successfully

• Background: solid understanding of computer science, engineering, or related discipline
• Analytical Skills & Problem solving: Be able to analyze complex workflows & Demonstrate creativity and independence in developing approaches
• Technical Competence & Research Skills: Possess experience with software development and system implementation
• Communication skills: international work environment requires English fluency

Thesis Description
Battery verification is a critical process to ensure the performance and reliability of modern energy storage systems. As batteries components and systems play a bigger role in areas like electric vehicles, renewable energy integration, and consumer electronics, the complexity of their verification increases.  These complexities include handling large test volumes, coordinating complex workflows, and adjusting to changing testing standards.

Traditional methods employed for battery verification often depend on strict protocols and centralized coordination that battery tests owners follow. This dependence can result in a gap between battery performance verification and the result validation with inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and limited flexibility in managing resources. 

This thesis looks at the potential of automation in battery verification to bridge the reality of battery performance verification and validation. By introducing flexible steps, the goal is to strengthen verification activity and increase the efficiency of operations.

Learnings
