Electric Driveline – let’s introduce ourselves 
Electric Driveline department is responsible for development of Electric Machines, Transmissions, Drive Shafts and Engine suspension. Here you will join our journey to develop and secure sustainable, efficient and competitive electric drivelines for our future cars. 
This role is part of the Electric Driveline Verification team, which is tasked with ensuring the functionality and performance of all hardware components within the electric driveline. This includes the electric machine, transmission, and associated components. 
 

The team is structured into three sub-teams:

• Function attribute testing: Responsible for functional verification of subsystems and systems, focusing on ensuring that they meet specified attributes.
• System durability testing: Focused on system verification, ensuring the durability and reliability of the electric driveline.
• Component testing: Conducts testing at the component, subsystem, and system testing to verify the performance and functionality of unique components within the driveline.

Each sub-team's test portfolio covers components and subsystems of the electric driveline, but with different perspectives in mind. 
 

We place a strong focus on method development to enhance the accuracy and reliability of testing processes, as well as the automation of data analysis. With a Road to Lab to Math strategy we strive to reduce the need for vehicle testing to replace it with laboratory testing and CAE models.
 

We have an ambition to become leading in Electric Drivelines.
