Henrik Nilsson is a manufacturing and geometry leader with nine years of focused experience at Volvo Cars, currently serving as Head of Geometry Complete Vehicle and Director of Manufacturing Engineering. He has a strong track record industrializing new car models and large CapEx programs—leading teams of up to 22 engineers and projects that can exceed 1.5 B SEK—while bridging R&D, suppliers and production to secure quality and readiness. His background spans hands-on robot simulation, process planning and body-in-white geometry expertise, complemented by an M.Sc. in Production Engineering from Chalmers. Henrik is known for coaching project managers to deliver green milestones and for translating complex product requirements into manufacturable, cost-effective processes. Based in Gothenburg, he combines systems-level program leadership with deep technical fluency in C++ and simulation tools. An uncommon strength is his long-running role as a business-area maintainer for Process Simulate/Process Designer, giving him rare insight into both software-driven simulation and on-floor implementation.
