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.

What we offer 

Volvo Cars is on an ambitious journey to redefine the customer experience in automotive through digital technology. Electrification, Autonomous Drive and Shared Mobility are enablers for our purpose – freedom to move in a personal, sustainable and safe way. 

Software engineering is an increasingly important area in the automotive industry. Volvo Cars is bringing more of the software development in-house to better handle continuous integration and the complex interactions between different functions. Connectivity is an enabler for most vehicle functions but also introduces privacy and cybersecurity risks that needs to be managed through innovative and robust designs. 

The unit Connected Experience within Volvo Cars R&D is responsible for providing the best and most secure connectivity experience in the automotive industry. We have been connecting our cars for more than two decades, and by now connectivity is one of the most important enablers for doing business in the automotive industry. 

Cybersecurity is therefore of paramount importance. We have local teams specializing in different technology areas in the end-2-end connectivity chain, and we are now looking for a cybersecurity architect with the capability of having a holistic view and continuously drive architectural improvements across car, telecom network and cloud.

• Drive implementation of cybersecurity management processes and methods for our unit. 

• Evaluate and recommend suppliers and tools in the area. 

• Develop the organization’s knowledge by training, mentoring and coaching related to cybersecurity. 

• Support in growing awareness of cybersecurity in the organization. 

• Lead the cybersecurity awareness culture in our unit
