About the role
Are you passionate about taking the electrical and electronic systems in our vehicles to the next level? As our new EE Platform Architect, you will work in close collaboration with stakeholders and focus on the future. You are responsible for leading the design and evolution of the EE architecture on aspects related to capturing the end users’ interaction (what we call the operational viewpoint) with the EE system (the Vehicle Controlling and Monitoring System), and to bring the business perspective into the architecture work. Together with system architects, product owners, and other stakeholders, you will drive the work to concretize the strategies and visions into concrete technical concepts.


While taking the operational viewpoint to the next level, you are also responsible for managing and keeping the list of functions (known as End-user functions) provided by our products, up to date. This includes anchoring proposed additions, removals and mergers with stakeholders and bring to a formal decision. This list plays a central role in several of our development processes.
