Software, the 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.
The SWDL team is part of Diagnostic and Base Technology (DBT), which forms the foundation for all electronic control units across the entire vehicle electrical system. Our mission is to enable common, scalable solutions for R&D development departments, driving complexity reduction, cost efficiency, and increased development speed.
Within this context, the team plays a key role, contributing to the software download capability as a core enabler for BaseTech, OTA, VIDA, and vehicle-level integration maturity across platforms.
You will become a member of an development team with great team spirit, the Software Download (SWDL) team. The team is responsible for designing and verifying Software Download technologies. The team is also developing (in C++) the One SWDL Engine, which is one common SW module to be used for SWDL in many areas such as development testing, vehicle implementation (in Volvo Cars new Core System Platform), production and at aftermarket. The team is collaborating with many different system areas of the vehicle, as well as customer service departments and manufacturing engineering. As a part of our team, you get access to long-term development opportunities in a dynamic and continuously growing field.
You get inspired by our mission to give our customers a better car experience every day. You will use your deep knowledge to develop the SW component we call One SWDL Engine.
We believe you are a true software engineer who is motivated by challenging tasks in a complex and innovative environment. You have the interest and experience in creating SW architecture and technical road maps. You enjoy sharing your knowledge with your colleagues, but also learning from others. For this position a minimum of 5 years’ experience with C++, Linux and GIT is required. Experience with other areas such as Python, C, Gerrit, Jenkins, Android, DoIP, software testing and CI is considered a plus.
You bring hardware and system knowledge, including ECU architecture, flashing and download concepts, and hands-on testing on real hardware and rigs, with an understanding of BaseTech, OTA, and vehicle electrical systems. Solid knowledge of embedded systems and experience with QNX. Knowledge of basic Cryptography and PKI.
You have an interest in AI-assisted development, using modern tools for code generation, review, and quality improvement. You are customer-focused, quality-driven, collaborative, fluent in English, and comfortable working with incomplete information while solving complex problems.
Driven by customer focus you get things done. You are committed to high delivery quality and you can proceed your work without having all facts at hand before you start. You are flexible and have excellent communication and documentation skills. You have a positive attitude and are a team player. You are experienced with continuous development and familiar with software development best practices. You are fluent in English and can communicate effectively with all types of stakeholders. You are analytical and a problem-solver, aware of that there are multiple solutions for a problem.
