For our client Volvo Cars we are looking for a Manufacturing Engineer – Laser Cleaning & Welding . Assignment Overview The assignment is within Manufacturing Engineering at Volvo Cars and supports the industrialization of advanced High Voltage Battery Assembly systems for Battery Electric Vehicles. The work is performed in a cross-functional engineering environment covering manufacturing processes, automated production equipment, product-to-process interfaces, quality assurance and supplier collaboration. The consultant will develop and industrialize laser cleaning and laser welding processes for electrically and structurally critical battery assembly applications. The role covers process definition, joining quality, fixturing interfaces, equipment requirements, monitoring, verification and supplier collaboration. Key Responsibilities Own manufacturing process development for laser cleaning and laser welding. Define process sequence, parameters, process windows, critical-to-quality characteristics and weld acceptance criteria. Assess material, coating, joint design, accessibility, heat input and contamination effects on robustness. Define requirements for laser source, beam delivery, optics protection, extraction, safety, monitoring and traceability. Support RFQ preparation, supplier evaluation and equipment design reviews. Coordinate fixturing, clamping, datum and tolerance needs with relevant engineering specialists. Plan and execute trials, design-of-experiments activities, verification and capability studies. Lead process risk assessment, root-cause analysis and corrective actions during commissioning and ramp-up. Required Competencies - Industrial laser welding process engineering - 5+ years - Critical - Automated laser manufacturing equipment industrialization - 5+ years - Critical - Laser process-window development and weld-quality validation - 3+ years - Critical - Fixturing, clamping and tolerance interaction - 3+ years - High - Supplier technical specifications and design reviews - 3+ years - High Preferred Competencies Laser cleaning, ablation or surface-preparation experience. High Voltage Battery Assembly, busbar or electrical joining experience. Aluminum, copper or dissimilar-material laser joining. Inline process monitoring, vision, OCT, pyrometry or comparable inspection technologies. Automotive APQP, PFMEA and production-launch experience. Education Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant engineering discipline, or equivalent demonstrated professional experience relevant to the assignment. Experience Required Senior-level industrialization experience in automotive, battery manufacturing, electrification or comparable high-volume automated production. The consultant should be able to work independently, own technical deliverables and collaborate effectively with engineering teams and equipment suppliers. Deliverables Approved laser process concept. Defined process window, CTQs, inspection method and acceptance criteria. Equipment, monitoring, safety and traceability requirements. RFQ and supplier technical evaluation documentation. Trial and verification plan with documented results. Process monitoring, rework and production-readiness strategy. PLEASE NOTE!
