Developers Software in the Loop Autonomous Drive and Vehicle Control i Göteborg

Want to drive digital change in automotive?

At Volvo Cars, we are making bold digital visions come true. We aim to lead in the automotive world by creating a digital ecosystem built around making our customers' lives less complicated. Now we are looking for curious, creative people who want to change the world through innovative thinking.

We are now looking for two new members to join our teams developing Software in the Loop test environments for Autonomous Drive and Vehicle Control

Who we are

We design, develop, test and maintain virtual verification tools to enable Safe Vehicle Automation. We focus our efforts in large-scale cluster simulations, developing and improving our tools incrementally with high focus on modularity, performance and usability

Our challenge is to balance simulation realism with time constraints, providing as much scenario and test case variation through the software under test in a fast and automated feedback loop to the users. Our empowered team has full ownership of our tools and roadmap – exploring, learning, deciding and delivering as we go, pushing the boundaries of state-of-the-art simulations and software testing in our field.

What you will do

You will be a developer in our agile team focusing on simulation tools enabling virtual testing, verification and validation of full stack Autonomous Drive software. We focus both on making sure that the software is rigorously tested, as well as that the algorithms and functions providing the self-driving capabilities work in all different kinds of traffic situations. As a developer in our team you will solve challenges in the domain of Vehicle Dynamics, Control and Autonomous Drive as well as technical challenges in how to create Software-in-the-Loop environments supporting it. You will collaborate closely with your team members, other SIL/HIL/DevOps teams as well as users and stakeholders both internally at Volvo Cars and external suppliers.

Who you are

We expect you to come with experience and passion within the areas of Software Development, Software Testing, Vehicle Dynamics or Simulations. We’re not looking for you to be an expert in every domain and technology involved, but a solid understanding, experience and a mindset to develop and learn every day is a good start

As a developer in our team, the minimum qualifications include

• MSc in relevant fields, e.g. Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Data Science, Mechatronics, Automation, Automotive Engineering or similar
• Programming skills in high level programming languages C++ or Python

If you are experienced working with or developing simulation tools for Vehicle Dynamics or Autonomous Drive it is a huge plus, but not requirement. Other meritorious skills and experiences could also be

• Collaborative software development tools and practices (git, gerrit, Jenkins, zuul, CMake, DevOps, Test Driven Development, XP)
• Tools, SDK:s and Simulators for Vehicle Dynamics and Autonomous Drive (e.g. CARLA, IPG CarMaker)
• Vehicle Dynamics (e.g. CAE, design, testing, or other)
• 1D System Modeling Tools (Matlab, Simulink, Dymola, Modelica)
• Containerization (Docker, Singularity)
• Linux environments (Ubuntu, SLES)
• Cluster computing (HPC)
• Open tools and standards (googletest, pytest, FMU, protobuf, OpenSCENARIO, OpenDRIVE, Open Simulation Interface)
• Virtual reality (AR, VR)

It is important to us that you enjoy and thrive working together as a team, to learn, innovate and getting things done. We are excited to have you join us in our journey taking virtual verification and software development to the next level – what are you waiting for?
