Software Engineer - Autonomous Driving

Software: fuel for mobility

We bring bold digital visions to life. So we’re on the lookout for more curious and creative engineers who want to create change – one line of high-quality code at a time. Our transformation isn't for everyone, but if you're excited about solving the leading-edge technological challenges facing the auto industry, then let’s talk about your next move. 

Let's introduce ourselves

Volvo Cars is on an ambitious journey to re-define the experience related to car usage and ownership. Combining technologies and innovative services, we are committed to offer the most personal, safe and sustainable solutions in mobility.

At our department of Autonomous Drive and Active Safety Functions we design, integrate, and verify the complete vehicle solution for autonomous cars and active safety functions. We collaborate with some of the most innovative industry partners to reach our future visions of safety, convenience, and mobility.

Autonomous drive has the potential to fundamentally change how cars are used and are part of our society. As a member of the AD/ADAS Domain System Engineering team you will contribute to the team purpose to take the lead in safe, customer valued and purposeful functions for Advanced Driver Assistance systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD). The responsibility, communal with the team, is to develop and launch a robust and safe, world-class functionality.
 

What you'll do

We are looking for an experienced engineer with competence in robust and safe system design to set the fundaments of the AD/ADAS platform. The system design we do is the fundament the AD/ADAS functions are being built upon.

You will be one of the team players in a cross functional team where you will contribute with your system engineering competence, but also work to secure the complete AD/ADAS domain functionality. We think you are a person that has a strong interest, even a passion for AD/ADAS, and wants to be part of the big shift into autonomous driving vehicles and new customer experiences.

The team is responsible for driving the AD/ADAS needs towards the rest of the vehicle, such as steering, braking and HMI, and balance the complete design. This means you need an understanding of how the different AD/ADAS functions work, and their needs and you make a system design that scales over time. In this process you collaborate closely with other teams at VCC and at our partners, and you have fun every day!

You feel confident to deep dive into a variety of areas such as fault/mode handling, diagnostics, Lateral/Longitudinal control, robust interface design, System Safety (ISO26262), Cyber Security and configuration management. 

We think that you have experience of coding in your previous positions, but you are now looking for another step in your career.
Agile, cross-functional and collaborative way of working is natural for you to reach high quality results in time. You are a committed and trusted team worker, and you also get energized by leading others with your leadership skills.

What you'll bring

We believe that you have:
•    +5 years of experience from the automotive industry
•    experience from advanced function- and system designs and systemization, not limited to current ADAS functions 
•    experience from coding (model based or handwritten code) 
•    experience from requirement development and decomposing of requirements on different abstraction layers
•    leadership competence and experience and are known for your ability to get many teams to work towards a common goal.
•    knowledge of how to apply the standards ISO26262, Cyber Security, SOTIF and FMEA methods
•    MSc degree in Systems, control and mechatronics, Data Science, Computer engineering, Engineering Physics or equivalent from experience
•    fluent in English, spoken and written

Who are you?
You are good in communication, you are curious, innovative and always eager to learn and understand your surroundings. You care about people and like to interact and work together. You take initiatives and feel responsibility for getting things done. You are always willing to offer a hand even for task you have little experience from. You are active in meetings, enthusiastic, proud to share and support others with your knowledge.  

If you are the one we look for, you can look forward to become a member of a team that will deliver self-driving functionality that brings amazing mobility experiences to customers and emphasizes Volvo Cars commitment to safety.
