We are currently looking for a committed and qualified professional seeking a career opportunity as **Mid\-Level Product Application Engineer**. An enthusiast of engines and vehicle performance, ideally with a passion for trucks and our business! You combine knowledge of complete powertrain systems with an understanding of customer applications, duty cycles, vehicle performance, and data\-driven engineering. You are able to translate customer needs and field observations into technical requirements, recommendations, and clear engineering conclusions. You will work with product application, simulation, data analytics, calibration, software, and test engineers. Our main job is to understand how our products perform in real customer operations and to apply that knowledge to product development, maintenance, and specification decisions. **About Us** ------------ **Powertrain Technology** is contributing 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 feature, and that comply with all applicable regulatory requirements. Our scope of work includes engineering and design of engines, gearboxes, axles, hybrid technology, and driveline, based on common architecture and shared technology. **Data Analytics, System Simulation and Application Engineering** is part of the Powertrain Technology Application Center in Curitiba and is responsible for product application, complete powertrain simulation, and data analytics. This includes recommending and verifying powertrain specifications, evaluating vehicle performance and drivability, supporting on\-road testing, and analyzing data from tests and connected vehicles. Customer success, competitive product performance, and digital transformation are priorities in our strategy. Within this context, the team accelerates product development and maintenance by combining application knowledge, physical testing, simulation, and connected\-vehicle data. We collaborate with our colleagues in **Gothenburg (Sweden), Lyon (France), Hagerstown (USA), and Bangalore (India)**. **What you will do** -------------------- As a **Mid\-Level Product Application Engineer** in our team, your main purpose is to secure that powertrain solutions are correctly specified, applied, and verified for Volvo trucks and buses in Latin American customer operations. You will connect market and customer needs with engineering development by translating real\-world use cases into technical requirements, test cases, product recommendations, and improvement proposals. Our team supports the **development and maintenance of global products and services**, with particular attention to Latin American applications. You will work across complete powertrain areas — including **medium\- and heavy\-duty engines, transmissions, rear axles, vehicle functions, and related systems** — to optimize product specifications and evaluate fuel economy, performance, drivability, reliability, and customer acceptance. You are expected to independently lead investigations and application activities, provide sound technical recommendations, communicate conclusions to diverse stakeholders, and support the development of less Mid\-Level colleagues. A curious mindset and a willingness to learn directly from vehicles, drivers, customers, and field data are essential. This is a field\-oriented role, and you will spend part of your time away from the office. The engineer is expected to stay close to the product and the customer through frequent contact with vehicles, drivers, transport operations, workshops, and customer sites. Regular travel within Brazil — and occasional international travel — is an integral part of the assignment. **Accountabilities \& Responsibilities** ---------------------------------------- * **Recommend and optimize complete powertrain specifications** for Volvo trucks and buses based on customer applications, duty cycles, road profiles, market requirements, and
