Software Developer Vehicle Controls – Volvo Autonomous Solutions

Would you like to shape the future of transportation by developing new autonomous vehicle and machine solutions? If yes, then you are very welcome to apply for this position!

Who are we?

Volvo Autonomous Solutions (V.A.S.) is a brand-new entity within the Volvo Group with the mission to offer transport solutions never seen before. We accelerate the development, commercialization and sales of autonomous transport solutions, focusing on defined segments for the on- and off-road space. With entirely new business models and advanced technology, we will meet and exceed expectations from customers and contributing to a society that we want to live in. We are yet a small but passionate and effective team that is stronger than the sum of its parts and ready to tackle the big challenges we have ahead of us. We are now looking for innovative, committed individuals to join us in our endeavor to create customer solutions that enhance safety, flexibility and productivity.

The Vehicle team within the V.A.S. Technology organization is responsible for vehicles, machines, trailers and safety systems in V.A.S. autonomous customer solutions. We take part in all life cycle phases, from the early specification and development phases throughout the maintenance and quality phases during customer operation. We interact closely with colleagues in Group Trucks Technology (GTT) & Volvo Construction Equipment (VCE) to secure base vehicle and machine readiness. We then develop and integrate the on-board autonomous driving systems and the off-board safety systems. It is our responsibility to ensure that the vehicles and machines can be operated by the autonomous driving system in a good and safe manner.

Position description

As Software developer in the V.A.S. Technology Vehicle team you will take on the task of developing control logic and interfaces in a real-time environment with strict requirements on both performance and safety for autonomous driving for both machines and trucks.

The V.A.S. Technology Vehicle SW domain has two main interfaces, up-stream towards the Autonomous Driving System, and down-stream towards different vehicle ECU’s through CAN.

Our SW needs to adapt different underlying vehicle architectures down-stream to conform to a common internal interface up-stream, used by all higher-level driving functions.

Examples of tasks

• Implement interface towards AD-system and vehicle
• Interface testing and support of verification
• Implement logics (e.g. switching between primary and redundant steering)
• Accumulation of base vehicle signals (e.g. Diagnostics, truck/machine readiness)
• Document requirements and implement test cases to prepare towards ASIL functionality

The work will cover all stages from prototyping SW, requirement development, SiL/HiL/Vehicle verification to final production code verification. We target to have a state-of-the-art development environment.

You can look forward to an inspiring journey together with enthusiastic and professional colleagues throughout the Volvo Group organization. It is important that you enjoy working with new technology and take part in continuously improving our ways of working. We would also like for you to contribute to a great team spirit.

Qualifications

As you will be working with new technology, it is preferable if you have broad experience in product development within relevant engineering areas.

You will have the opportunity to work with different cultures cross functionally, with internal as well as external stakeholders and therefore we see that you have good interpersonal and communication skills. Being fluent in English, spoken and written, is also important to succeed in this position. Other requirements that we also see as beneficiary for the role are:

• Experience from development of embedded systems
• Experience from verification of embedded systems, on unit and integration level
• Experience from working within a safety standard development process, such as ISO 26262 or ISO 13849
• Good knowledge about C or C++ programming for embedded systems
• Good knowledge about Docker and Jenkins for automated testing
• Good knowledge about Python programming
• Good knowledge about communication interfaces commonly used within Automotive applications
• Experience from troubleshooting, both software and hardware

We are actively working to establish teams that will take maximum advantage of the strength inherent to differences in knowledge, experience, age, gender and nationality, among others. We find that well balanced work teams increase group dynamics, creativity and new approaches to solutions.
