Engine Test Engineer / Test Cell Engineer

Description:

Company Description: AVL is one of the world's leading mobility technology companies for development, simulation and testing in the automotive industry, and beyond. The company provides concepts, solutions and methodologies in fields like vehicle development and integration, e-mobility, automated and connected mobility (ADAS/AD), and software for a greener, safer, better world of mobility. Job Description: AVL is now looking for an Engine Test Engineer / Test Cell Engineer to join our team in Gothenburg! In this role, you will become part of an advanced testing and validation environment where you work with the development and verification of modern powertrains – from combustion engines and electric motors, to transmissions and other rotating components. This is a role for you if you want to work close to the technology and take full responsibility for testing. You drive and conduct tests in test cells, where you combine practical work – such as building up, configuring, and troubleshooting test objects – with analysis of measurement data and interpretation of results. The work requires a good understanding of systems, control, and measurement methodology, where you can independently identify deviations, troubleshoot root causes, and propose technical solutions. You will work on varying assignments, often with prototype and component testing within the automotive industry. Depending on the project, you may work with everything from engine and powertrain testing to verification of individual components, where you are expected to contribute both operatively in the test environment and in technical analysis. The role is suitable for you with an engineering background and a strong technical interest in engines, electrification, data analysis, and measurement technology. As an Engine Test Engineer / Test Cell Engineer, you work with testing and validation in advanced test cells and rigs. You combine practical work – setup, configuration, and troubleshooting – with analysis of measurement data and technical follow-up. The role is consultant-based, which means you work on various assignments with our customers in the automotive industry. This gives you the opportunity to work on varying projects – from powertrain testing to prototype and component testing – and develop broad expertise. The work takes place in close collaboration with customers and colleagues and requires good system understanding and a structured approach. Key Responsibilities: • Plan, conduct, and follow up on engine and component testing according to test plans • Install, set up, and configure test objects in test cells and rigs • Configure measurement systems, hardware, and software prior to testing • Ensure quality of test data and analyze and interpret results • Troubleshoot test setups and systems (HW/SW) and drive improvement initiatives • Document results and prepare technical documentation • Maintain and develop test cell equipment Profile Description: We are looking for someone who is technically curious, analytical, and solution-oriented. You are confident in taking responsibility for your tasks and thrive in an environment where you combine independent work with close team collaboration. You have the ability to see connections in complex systems, work in a structured manner, and contribute to developing working methods, processes, and quality in testing. We believe you have post-secondary education in, for example, mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, mechatronics, electrical engineering, or equivalent experience. To thrive in this role, you are self-driven and take responsibility for your work, while being a team player who contributes to the team's success. You work in a structured manner, have a strong safety mindset, and thrive in a dynamic environment. You have a practical approach, are comfortable in a workshop environment, and enjoy hands-on work. At the same time, you have the ability to combine this with analysis, technical understanding, and dialogue with customers. We would like to see that you have: • Good knowledge of Swedish and English • Class B driving license • Basic knowledge of Microsoft Office • Experience with testing/validation, rig operation, preferably in test cells or similar environments • Good understanding of complex systems (combination of HW and SW) • Experience with troubleshooting and integration • Practical approach and experience with mechanical work, including torque techniques It is advantageous if you have experience with: • Workshop or R&D lab environments • Forklift certification and C/CE driving license • Experience with test and automation systems (e.g., PUMA, Comtest) • Knowledge of CAN, Ethernet, and measurement equipment • Experience with tools such as CANoe, INCA, MATLAB/Simulink, Dewesoft • Programming/scripting (e.g., Python or C) • Experience with electric powertrains, inverters, or electric motors We Offer: • A varied and developing role with significant personal responsibility and technical breadth • Opportunity to work with modern powertrain technology – from combustion to electrification • Assignments in different environments and projects, providing broad experience in testing and validation • Good development opportunities within advanced testing, technical areas, and customer projects • Collective agreement, insurance, and a competitive benefits package • Wellness benefits and other employee benefits Interested? The position is located in Gothenburg and work takes place mainly during daytime, with some overtime as needed. Selection is ongoing, so do not hesitate to submit your application!
