Team Manager for Core Computer in new SW centric Volvo car i Lund

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.

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.
