What’s in it for you?
Volvo Cars Core System is built up by high performance and high integrity components with different Operating Systems that together ensure a highly reliable and safe car. At the department/ART Core System Components we develop core system hardware, deploy it using high integrity operating systems and integrate the applications on top. We have responsibilities that stretches all the way from concept development, through the development cycle, and to the launch of the car. This includes all steps in the process from defining platform components, to integration of application and continuous integration testing, for all involved disciplines. Our ART is responsible for developing and integrating several electronic control units used in all car platforms, both with sourced and in-house developed software.

As ART architect you will be part of the ART management team. You will be defining the core system over time and responsible for communicating, aligning and governing it over time.
