Entry Level Data Scientist – Powertrain Technology

Do you want to join a dynamic, motivated team that develops solutions directly contributing to Volvo's mission of driving prosperity through transport and infrastructure solutions?

We are currently looking for a committed and qualified professional seeking a career opportunity as an Experienced Data Scientist – Powertrain Technology. Someone curious about data and passionate about the business!

You bring multidisciplinary skills at the intersection of mathematics, statistics, automotive engineering, computer science, communication, and business. You have practical knowledge of data, automotive technology, and programming, and you are motivated to continue developing these capabilities.

You will work together with a group of data engineers, scientists, analysts, simulation engineers and application engineers. Our main job is to transform Big Data transmitted through telematics by our products into knowledge to support the development of new products and services.

About Us

Powertrain Technology contributes to the Volvo Group’s competitive position in the marketplace by developing and maintaining profitable products and product components in terms of quality, delivery, cost, and features, while complying with all applicable regulatory requirements. Our scope of work includes the engineering and design of engines, gearboxes, axles, hybrid technology, and drivelines, based on common architecture and shared technology.

System Simulation, Data Analytics and Product Application Engineering is part of the Powertrain Technology organization in Curitiba and is responsible for simulation and data analytics. This covers function and control systems simulations, as well as the analysis of telematics data from our connected vehicles.

Digital transformation is a priority in our strategy, and within this context, the data analytics team plays an important role by accelerating the development of products and services.
