Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Volvo Car Corporation Full time

Who are we?

Volvo Cars is a company on a mission; to bring traditional car manufacturing into a connected, sustainable, and smart future. Since 1927, we have been a brand known for our commitment to safety, creating innovative cars that make life less complicated for our consumers. In 2010, we decided to transform our business, resulting in a totally new generation of cars and technologies, as well as steady growth and record sales. Today, we're expanding our global footprint in Europe, China, and the US, and we're on the lookout for new talent. We are constantly pushing our own skills and abilities to drive change in the automobile industry like never before. We are looking for innovative, committed people to join us in this endeavor and create safe, sustainable, and connected cars.

We envision that our friends, families, and children are transported in a personal, sustainable, and safe way. To reach this, we build a self-driving, fully electric, connected, and super-safe Volvo Car. We lead the charge in the trend of centralized architectures, blurring the line between a Computer and Cars. Our vehicular computation platforms perform a range of tasks from control loops to AI/Machine Learning capabilities in a distributed fashion across over 100+ Embedded Control Units in a vehicle, forming one of the largest distributed systems that are in mass production today across the world. To ensure the sustainable growth of our feature set, Volvo Cars has decided to go towards a centralized architecture dividing the platform into the Core System and the Mechatronics Rim.

The Core System, comprising several high-performance system-on-chip solutions is where the intelligence of the car is centralized. It defines each of the hundreds of thousands of cars we make each year into a customized, personalized tool that our customers love and trust their lives with. Literally.

About us - SW & Electronics Core System (ART CIS)

We are a software-centric company, managing vast systems comprised of millions of lines of code developed by thousands of both in-house and supplier-based developers. Our operational philosophy revolves around continuous integration and deployment, with new releases every six weeks. The Core System and the department of CIS are right in the center of this massive operation. We at CIS balance and secure the system characteristics for the Core System (i.e. "SW-on-HW Core System"). We are the guardians of coherence, orchestrating the releases, setting the technology roadmap for the future to ensure that our software always runs as smoothly, efficiently, and safely on our platform as possible. Our department consists of several teams including a team of senior architects where this position is hosted, development teams, and testing teams.

Your responsibility will be System Safety Engineering for the core system, both the platform and all the vehicle functions that are implemented as software components running on it. The work includes safety analysis and risk assessment of the defined system design, covering methodologies such as FTA, FMEA, and FMEDA. It also includes defining the Technical Safety Concepts for the product and identifying Technical Safety Requirements.
