Software Development and Test Engineer to Energy management functions i Göteborg

Software development that makes a difference

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.

What’s in it for you?

Our purpose at Vehicle Energy and Motion Control (VEMC), is to create the most energy efficient, safe and situation adapted ride and drive experience. By evaluating driver input, surrounding information (e.g. camera, radar and route data) and Autonomous Drive request, as well as vehicle state sensor input, our software (mainly inhouse developed) coordinates the different actuators (engine, motors, brakes, steering) to fulfill our purpose and balance vehicle attributes.

We have the responsibility to design, implement and tune the software components needed to fulfil our purpose. We are today about 150 ambitious and experienced engineers doing this together, and our products have big impact on the driver experience which makes our work even more fun.

What will you do?

Within the Energy Efficiency group, we are now looking for a software developer and test engineer to one of the development teams. The teams are working with inhouse developed software, mainly model-based using Simulink with target link or embedded coder, but also some C/C++ and Java. Our software components are deployed in various control unites in the vehicle (EMC, VCU1, IHU, CSP) but also in the cloud. To support build of prototype vehicles we sometimes develop software in rapid prototyping systems (like ETAS ES910 or dSPACE AutoBox).

The group’s main responsibility is the ownership of the Vehicle Energy Management and Driver Coach functions, which means creating system solution and software supporting functionality such as; Electrical Distance to Empty (range prediction), range assist, route based optimized charge/discharge of electric energy, predictive thermal management and smart pre-conditioning of the battery, to name a few. The purpose of the functions is to minimize the energy consumption of the vehicle, actively or by coaching the driver. Solutions are developed for all types of vehicles (hybrids and fully electric).

Your role and initial tasks will be based upon the competence and experience you bring into the team, but independently of your tasks you will need to collaborate with many different teams and individuals, both internal and external to the department.

Do you fit the profile?

We seek someone who is open minded and curious with a good ability to cooperate. You have good communication skills, both orally and in writing, and the ability to cope with many topics in parallel. You are a technical-minded team player who appreciate to work with different cultures. Besides being customer focused, you have a strong analytical capability, is structured, and organized in daily work. You have more than 3 years of work experience in the relevant field, holds at least a master’s degree in engineering. You bring experience from embedded software development and testing, have a holistic view and great systems thinking. Preferably you have skills in both model-based development and C/C++ and/or Java. We assume that you communicate fluently in English (speech and writing) and have a driver’s license (level B).
