C++ developer for SIL environment, Autonomous Driving

Aligned with its mission of driving prosperity through transport solutions, Volvo Group has recently created a new business area, Volvo Autonomous Solutions, to accelerate the development, commercialization and sales of autonomous transport solutions. The success of making self-driving trucks and construction machines into real operation lies in the test and data driven development. SIL testing on Perception, Decision Making as well as the entire autonomous driving software stacks are more than ever crucial to enable quality, speed and safety. Thousands of scenarios need to be tested, some of which possibly can only be tested in simulation.


Position Overview
Your role as a developer in the simulation team is to design and develop simulation tools which enable testing a few steps ahead of product development. Depending on the test purpose, you will customize the simulation environment in terms of virtual world, traffic scenario and various objects, integrate different vehicle dynamics and sensor models, as well as plug into the test automation tool chain. You will interact with development teams, explore test cases and provide stable test capabilities which fulfill their needs in rapid iterations. You are passionate about building development tools, implementing testing workflows and infrastructure work. Good communication skills and collaboration mindset within the team and cross teams are the key to success, especially in such a fast growing new technology area.
