CI Architect to future SW-centered Volvo Car i Lund

CI Architect to future SW-centered Volvo Car

We imagine that our friends, families, and children are transported in a personal, sustainable and safe way. What we build is a self-driving, fully electric, connected, and super safe Volvo Car.   

But the current platform makes it impossible for us to have the control that we need to succeed. The overall technical threshold is that the +140 electric components in the car do not communicate the way we want it to. 

Therefore, we build a new platform. The brain in this platform will be a Core Computer with the capacity to carry a vast majority of electric control units and applications in the car. This new centralized signal system aims to enable optimized software architecture and continuous deployment for further development as well as over the air data updates and real-time decision-making for autonomous drive. 

About our R&D – Platform Software Services 

Our R&D consists of SW Engineers with both a holistic understanding of SW architecture and commitment to details and quality code. We are responsible for governing API and application architecture for the software in the Vehicle Control Unit. We set deliverables, frameworks, patterns, and policies that are fundamental for other development teams to build with consensus. We also act as development support by working together with teams to succeed with development and integration.
